Op weg naar verbeterde keringen: Vijf jaar All-Risk-onderzoek naar nieuwe veiligheidsnormen

Het beperken van overstromingsrisico’s is een grote maatschappelijke uitdaging, met name voor landen waar de dreiging van het water altijd dichtbij is. De groei van de economische activiteiten en het aantal inwoners van Nederland hebben aan de basis gestaan van het vaststellen van nieuwe overstromingsnormen. De ambitie is aan deze nieuwe...

Spatial adaptation in coastal environments: New possible synergies between flood protection infrastructure and urban landscape design

The current flood risk-related challenges induced by climate change<br/>place pressure on designing urban areas where natural and man-made<br/>conditions can be imbalanced. Today, flood risk is mostly managed to<br/>reduce the probability of flood events. However, the engineered probability<br/>approach to flood risk management might not always...

Towards Improved Flood Defences: Five Years of All-Risk Research into the New Safety Standards

Without our dikes and dunes, 60% of the Netherlands would flood on a regular basis. This area is home to 9 million people. The latest<br/>report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, February 2022) underlines the importance of reinforcing water safety. Sea levels are rising and extreme weather is becoming increasingly common....
