Corporate name STOWA Date 2013-06-23 Abstract The Netherlands is not well protected against flooding and limited budget it available for improvements. Therefore, this research investigates in what way the cost-effectiveness of Dutch flood protection can be improved with the use of multifunctional unbreachable dykes. The multifunctional unbreachable dyke, a dyke combined with additional user functions such as buildings, nature and recreation, is found to be an appropriate measure to improve cost-effectiveness of Dutch flood protection. Three challenges (assessment tools, funding and institutional organization) are determined from earlier research that make implementation of multifunctional unbreachable dykes difficult. With the use of case study analysis of ten cases it turned out that these challenges not only can cause failure of implementation, they can also contribute to cost-ineffective application Subject dikesbreachmultifunctional flood defences Classification TPN110 To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:326bd3d1-409d-4f1a-aaa4-f1f88d227bd5 Publisher VU, Faculty of life science Source Afstudeerverslag VU Part of collection Hydraulic Engineering Reports Document type report Rights (c) 2013 Mallory Tettero Files PDF Tettero2013.pdf 2.48 MB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:326bd3d1-409d-4f1a-aaa4-f1f88d227bd5/datastream/OBJ/view
