Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 2015-06-14 Abstract Voorne-Putten is an island located in the delta region of the Netherlands. The island is surrounded by a dike ring which consists of dikes, dunes, and hydraulic structures. The flood risk in Voorne-Putten was assessed to be unacceptable according to the measure of local individual risk. The maximum allowable local individual risk in the Netherlands is 10-5/year. Most of East Voorne and Putten were assessed to be unacceptable according to this measure. Several sections in the dike ring were identified to be below the safety standard (failure probability) of 1/4000 per year. This project was conducted to explore solutions to reducing the flood risk using inland dike solutions or reinforcements to the outer dikes.
