The territorial system of the Rhine-Meuse- Scheldt Delta, located between the Netherlands and Belgium, is characterised by the omnipresence of water in different environments. From the North Sea coast to the delta estuaries, this territorial system is formed by the confluence of three major rivers from northwest Europe: the Rhine, the Meuse and...

The Rhine reach comprising the Niederrhein and the Upper Rhine Delta is characterized by a long history of engineering interventions. The area is densely populated and the Rhine, the main inland waterway in Europe, justifying the need for such measures. Interventions have had a strong impact on morphodynamic channel characteristics. We use bed...

Pilot projects are widely applied in water management. They can be used to test risky innovations at confined scale, but can also be used to delay policy decisions or to advocate a particular innovation. In this book the phenomenon ‘pilot project’ is explored both theoretically and empirically. A framework to analyse pilot projects is developed...

Humans have intervened in rivers for centuries. River engineering measures have aimed at protecting populations against flooding, ensuring reliable and safe navigation, providing freshwater for drinking, domestic and industrial use, irrigation, and energy supply, and providing opportunities for recreation. All around the world, measures such as...

Exploring adaptation pathways is an emerging approach for supporting decision making under uncertain changing conditions. An adaptation pathway is a sequence of policy actions to reach specified objectives. To develop adaptation pathways, interactions between environment and policy response need to be analysed over time for an ensemble of...

River basin management is faced with complex problems that are characterized by uncertainty and change. In transboundary river basins, historical, legal, and cultural differences add to the complexity. The literature on adaptive management gives several suggestions for handling this complexity. It recognizes the importance of management regimes...

We present a new mechanism for cross-shore transport of fine sediment from the nearshore to the inner shelf resulting from the onshore propagation of river plume fronts. Onshore frontal propagation is observed in moorings and radar images, which show that fronts penetrate onshore through the nearshore and surf zone, almost to the waterline....

Macroplastic pollution (> 0.5 cm) negatively impacts aquatic life and threatens human livelihood on land, in oceans and river systems. Reliable information on the origin, fate and pathways of plastic in river systems is required to optimize prevention, mitigation and reduction strategies. Yet, accurate and long-term data on plastic...

The combined effects of socio-economic growth as well as climate change exert increasing pressure on international river basins and require dedicated cooperative efforts to jointly manage international rivers. Cooperative strategies drawn from scientific literature, empirical research and practitioner’s handbooks are explored and clustered...

Sediments play an important role in water resources management. In the past, hazardous contaminants from municipal and industrial wastewater effluents and from agriculture were discharged in large quantities into the water bodies and accumulated within the bottom sediments. Today, relatively unpolluted recent sediment surface layers cover older...

Het Delft Cluster-project Waterkwaliteit & Calamiteiten brengt de toekomstige ontwikkeling van de water- en slibkwaliteit in beeld onder invloed van extreme gebeurtenissen (gerelateerd aan bijvoorbeeld klimaatsverandering en verandering in landgebruik) en door de mens veroorzaakte calamiteiten (zoals lozingsongelukken). Dit rapport is het...

De waterkwaliteit van rivieren is het meest kritisch tijdens hydrologische extremen en onder hoge watertemperaturen. Uit verkennende studies naar effecten van klimaatverandering op de waterkwaliteit in de Rijn (Zwolsman & Van Bokhoven, 2007) en Maas (Van Vliet & Zwolsman, 2007) is gebleken dat er in het algemeen een verslechtering van de...

After the flooding events in the recent years in the Rhine and Meuse basin and the subsequently developed action plans, awareness has grown that the issue of flood risk management has to be considered in an integrated, transnational context where hydraulic, ecological and socio-economic functions of the river system are taken into account from...

Deltares werkt momenteel in opdracht van RWS-Waterdienst aan de opzet van het project "Klimaatbestendigheid van Nederland Waterland". In dit project wordt onderzocht wat de klimaatbestendigheid is van het hoofdwatersysteem van Nederland. In het project staan twee vragen centraal: 1. Waar liggen de omslagpunten die leiden tot een ander...

A few kilometres after crossing the Dutch frontier the Waal splits off from the river Rhine and flows to the left carrying 70% of the Rhine's water. A few kilometres further down, the IJssel splits off and flows to the right carrying 12% of the water coming down the Rhine. The river Rhine turns to the left carrying the remaining 18% of its...

BIO-SAFE is a policy and legislation based model for the assessment of impacts of flood prevention measures on biodiversity in river basins. Within the framework of IRMA-SPONGE, a transnational version of the model BIO-SAFE (Spreadsheet Application For Evaluation of BIOdiversity) for the rivers Rhine and Meuse was developed. The model was...

Water management of the rivers Rhine and Meuse is surrounded by major uncertainties. The central question is then: given the uncertainties, what is the best water management strategy? This raises the need for integrated scenarios that consider possible futures in a coherent and consistent way. Within the framework of IRMA-SPONGE a scenario study...
