FRHYMAP: Flood Risk and HYdrological MAPping

The general objective of the FRHYMAP project was to integrate within a single mesoscale basin, the transboundary Alzette river basin, the various aspects concerning flooding events, reaching from the hydro-climatological analysis of field data to the risk assessment of socio-economic impacts, taking into account past and future climate and...

A different approach to water: Water management policy in the 21st century

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,...

Impact of Climatic Change on NW Mediterranean Deltas

Summary report of the MedDelt project. This project has studied the impact of climate change on the deltas in the northwestern Mediterranean sea.

Climate change impact on the deltas of Ebro, Po and Rhone: Conceptual models for coastal fringes’ response

All the Mediterranean Dehas are submitted to a physical regression of their coastal fringes and dominated by the wave action because of the decreased water and sediment discharges, if compared to previous stages of their histories. The decrease of the discharges is a consequence of water and solid retention and deviation in the continental...

Impact of climatic change on the Po Delta: Deltaic fringe modelling

With the present paper we aim at summarizing the work undertaken in the MEDDELT Project on the characterisation of the dynamical processes of the Po Delta Fringe and particulalry highlight the conceptual developments achieved about the integrated modelling. We assume to be in a region of the deltaic area where there is tipically a direct...

Vulnerability of Bangladesh to climate change and sea level rise

Concepts and tools for calculating risk in integrated coastal zone management. This summary document highlights the main analyses and findings of the technical and institutional components of the pilot study, which are reported in separate documents. In subsequent chapters attention will be paid to the problems addressed, the approach followed,...

Long term evolution of coastal morphology and global change

Long-term prediction of sediment transport and of morphological behaviour in the coastal zone, in response to human interference or to change in environmental conditions (collectively global change) is an increasingly important issue in coastal zone management, especially in relation to the needs for environmentally compatible development....

Das Eis auf den Niederländischen Flüssen und die Klimaänderung seit dem Jahre 1879

Study on the relation between climate change and ice cover in the Dutch rivers since 1879.
