When longshore sediment transport is interrupted by a construction along a coast, e.g harbour moles or a dredged approach channel, the equilibrium of the coastline may be disturbed. When the disruption is caused by breakwaters, the longshore transport that is held back will cause accretion updrift of the breakwaters and erosion downdrift of them...

Man-made islands in the Mackenzie river (Canada) for oil exploitation may obstruct the free flow of ice during spring break up. These ice dams may cause considerable rise of the water level in the rivers, resulting in floods. A numerical model is presented to simulate ice dam formation an river floods.

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...

The 1400 km Dutch coastline is affected by sea-level rise. At this moment a legal framework is made to guarantee safety of the dikes also in future. Also a national policy is developed for compensation of all coastal erosion. Both measures should make it possible for the Netherlands to survive an increased sea-level rise.

The set-up and results of a field experiment on sand-dike breach erosion are described, It is found that the breaching process for the 2.2 m high sand-dike is similar to that in Visser's (1988) laboratory experiments with a 0.6 m high sand-dike. Confrontation of Visser's (1988) breach erosion model with the field data shows reasonable agreement...

In the Netherlands today much attention is paid to the effect of coastal structures on the environment. In the past it was usual to quantify the effect of such a structure on its environment solely with the purpose of deciding whether that effect could imply any hazard to the structure itself (or to structures in the neighbourhood). Nowadays...

Overview of the Netherlands policy on coastal protection and coastal defence

Verhagen, H.J. (author)
The 350 km long Dutch coast along the North Sea is characterized by alternating coastal stretches of accretion and erosion resp. resulting in seaward and landward displacement retreats of the shoreline. Places of accretion and erosion also vary in time. Behind the dunes are low lying polders (very often with a ground level even below the low...

The government of The Netherlands has decided in the summer of 1990 to maintai.n the coastline at the position of 1990. This will be done mainly by artificial beach nourishment. The costs will be paid by the national government. The purpose of this coastal maintenance is to maintain a sufficient level of safety and to maintain the various...

In the Netherlands much land was captured from the sea. At the same time however along the coast severe losses of land occurred. The main reasons were sea level rise and effects of decreasing tidal volumes of estuaries. Besides there were the local effects of shifting tidal channels and periodical movements of the coastline. Building of groynes,...

Copying solutions from the western, industrial countries for application in developing countries is in general not the best solution for solving the problems of developing countries. The main reason for that is that the available resources in the developing world are different from the resources in western countries. In the industrialised...

The coast is a very important aspect of life in the Netherlands. 60 % of the Netherlands is below the sea level, everyone lives less than 200 km from a beach, and for most people the sea is less than 50 km away. But in the Netherlands there is officially no Agency for Coastal Zone Management, neither are there laws on Coastal Zone Management. On...

The Southern North Sea is bordered by Great-Britain, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. The North Sea basin and its adjacent shorelines are intensively used. Management of the basin and the coastal zone is therefore essential. Because of the small scale of the area, the dense population and the big scale of the interactions,...

Worldwide there is a need for training of engineers to work within the framework of Coastal Zone Management. This has effects on the education of engineers. Moreover, the requirements for an educational program for coastal engineers from developing countries are quite different from the requirements for the training of engineers from the...

In general the problem in education is that we teach nowadays students the knowledge from five years ago, to be applied in the next 5 to 15 years (I admit, the student of today will have reached his retirement when he will participate in the 50th ICCE, the title is exaggerating reality). When one analyses the developments in the profession, it...
