Abstract

Floods can be some of the most unexpected and devastating natural phenomena. Reducing their risks everywhere is near impossible, whether due to financial reasons or more physical obstacles. Dr Neelke Doorn at Delft University of Technology is working to improve policies related to water, with the aim of achieving a better distribution of flood-related risks and benefits between different countries and individuals, while limiting adverse environmental consequences.
