Modelling dune erosion, overwash and inundation of barrier islands

Physical model experiments are performed at Deltares to investigate the morphological response of barrier islands on extreme storm events. The experiments included dune erosion, overwash and inundation regimes. Extensive measurement techniques made detailed comparison with numerical models possible. This paper describes the comparison between...

Flood risk management approaches: As being practiced in Japan, Netherlands, United Kingdom and United States

Many countries are reassessing their approaches in the face of improved understanding of flood risks. The Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), the Dutch Rijkswaterstaat, the United Kingdom Environment Agency, and the United States Army Corps of Engineers agreed in 2009 to develop a document to explore risk...

Safety against inundation: The dutch approach

The most urbanized part of the Netherlands is situated below sea level and is protected by dikes. By act of parliament allowable inundation frequencies for each part of the country are fixed. In case of two dangers (river run-off and storm surge) it is a problem to determine design values for dikes. Guidelines are developed to solve these...
