A general overview publication how to prepare the Indian coastline for climate change. The key document is Volume 1: “Climate Change Adaptation Guidelines for Coastal Protection and Management in India”. The Guidelines document (Volume I) is self-contained, with adequate information to understand the Guidelines and put them into practice. It is...

Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves can reduce risk to people and infrastructure from wave damage and flooding. The continued provision of these coastal defence services by mangroves is dependent on their capacity to adapt to projected rates of sea level rise. This report explores the capacity of mangrove soil surfaces to increase in elevation...

Storm surges occur when high winds and low atmospheric pressure raise water levels at the coast, causing sea water to surge onto the land. They are a major threat to low-lying coastal areas and their inhabitants. The largest storm surges are caused by tropical cyclones (also called hurricanes and typhoons in different regions); peak water levels...

Coastal populations are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of extreme events such as storms and hurricanes, and these pressures may be exacerbated through the influence of climate change and sea level rise. Coastal ecosystems such as mangrove forests are increasingly being promoted and used as a tool in coastal defence strategies. There...

Coastal rock structures are widely used in coastal engineering for a variety of purposes, including controlling the morphological development of beaches and providing protection against coastal erosion or flooding by wave overtopping. Strict adherence to existing design guidance has resulted in many of these structures being built using multiple...

This document outlines the Cabinet's position on water management policy in the 21st century. Immediately fuelling this is my concern about increasing water levels in the rivers, flooding, and the accelerated rise in sea level. In a country like the Netherlands, the geography of which is dominated by the sea and the mouths of four great rivers,...

The study into the feasibility o f the construction of islands off the coast of Israel is being conducted jointly between teams from Israel and The Netherlands as part of agreements for collaboration dating from 1996 and 1997. From early 1997, work began on defining the details of the project plan for the feasibility study. Since late 1997 and...

Present strategies for coastal defence in the Dutch coast are mainly focused on conventional solutions such as revetments, dunes, dikes, groynes as well as on beach nourishment. No attention has so far been paid to the implementation of Offshore Breakwaters. An offshore breakwater is a shore parallel structure which is constructed seperately...

The description of the transformation of shore in larger scales, i.e. the far-field effects, is summarized in Chapter 2 while the near-field mechanisms, encompassing different overall and local failure modes, stability and performance are dealt with in Chapter 3. Both are foliowed by Chapters 4 and 5 with design computations and examples,...

Mangroves are productive ecosystems, that sustain important fisheries, provide a variety of forest products and harbour millions of resident and migratory birds as well as endangered mammals and reptiles. Reclamation for aquaculture and agriculture is currently considered the main way to achieve development of mangrove areas. These types of...

A mathematical theory about phenomena that occur if on a coastal area groynes are constructed. The theory is a simplification: it just deals with one aspect. The starting point in the coastal equation of Pelnard-Considère and a linearisation between the transport along the groyne and the size of the 'step' in the coastline at the groyne. The...
