Kool, J.J. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)This study introduces a method for assessing the annual failure rate of levees based on information from historical floods, while also considering the return period of these past events. Also, an approach has been developed to quantify the influence of deviating conditions on failure rates. The presence of deviating conditions at failed and...journal article 2022

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....book 2022

Recubenis Sanchis, I. (author), van der Meulen, G.J.M. (author)Highlighted by the recent 2021 flood events in Europe, this research takes the<br/>momentum to underline the necessity for radical solutions that embrace uncertain and extreme discharges at the core of planning and design frameworks. Building upon existing Adaptive Management practices in the Netherlands, this research takes the experience of...journal article 2022

Karami, Mozhgan (author), Behzadian, Kourosh (author), Ardeshir, Abdollah (author), Hosseinzadeh, Azadeh (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)This paper presents a multi-criteria risk-based approach for managing urban flood hazards by using a combination of conventional measures and contemporary Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). A multi-objective optimisation model coupled with a simulation model of UDS in the SWMM software is developed with the three objectives of minimising...journal article 2022

Klerk, W.J. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Kok, M. (author), Bronsveld, J. (author), Wolfert, A.R.M. (author)Prioritisation of flood defence maintenance is typically based on visual inspection. However, literature shows that the Probability of Detection (PoD) of visual inspection can vary significantly. Here we investigate the PoD for visual inspections of flood defence structures, the consistency of damage classification, and the influence of...journal article 2021

Abebe, Y.A. (author)The negative impacts of floods are attributed to the extent and magnitude of a flood hazard, and the vulnerability and exposure of natural and human elements. In flood risk management (FRM) studies, it is crucial to model the interaction between human and flood subsystems across multiple spatial, temporal and organizational scales. Models should...doctoral thesis 2020

Juan, Andrew (author), Gori, Avantika (author), Sebastian, Antonia (author)In this study, we compare the ability of two riverine flood control approaches: channelization and stream preservation/setbacks, to alleviate the adverse impacts of rapid urbanization. To study the effects of structural intervention and urban development on the evolution of the floodplain, we have chosen two neighboring urban watersheds in...journal article 2020

Ciullo, A. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), De Bruijn, Karin M. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Klijn, F. (author)Flood risk management decisions in many countries are based on decision-support frameworks which rely on cost-benefit analyses. Such frameworks are seldom informative about the geographical distribution of risk, raising questions on the fairness of the proposed policies. In the present work, we propose a new decision criterion that accounts...journal article 2020

van der Meulen, Geert (author)Sea levels are rising globally and the melting Antarctic ice sheet is attributed to be the primary contributor. Due to the deep uncertainty of the causal representative carbon pathways, the plausible range of sea levels rise varies between 0,26 - 2,43 m for 2100 and 0,50 - 15,52 m for 2300. To address deep uncertainty, decision making methods...master thesis 2018

CIGAS is a practice developed specifically for contested environments, which strives to enhance participant’s insight by means of game structuring and system modeling techniques. Within this practice participants are understood to have different interests and values. The purpose is...report 2014

Tsimopoulou, V. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Kok, M. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Stijnen, J.W. (author)Recent experience of large-scale water disasters such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and Tsunami in 2011 has reminded mankind that disasters cannot be ruledout. Unprecedented low-probability events can happen even in the most well monitored areas, causing major social-economic disruption. Failing to prepare...conference paper 2013

Gersonius, B. (author)This dissertation presents a potential way forward for adaptation to climate change, termed the resilience approach. This approach takes a dynamic perspective on adaptive processes and the effects of these processes at/across different spatio-temporal scales. Experience is provided with four methods that can be used to apply the resilience...doctoral thesis 2012

Rijcken, T. (author), Stijnen, J. (author), Slootjes, N. (author)The Dutch Delta Program is currently developing new government policies for flood protection and fresh water supply. Decision support instruments have to address the program’s technical and political complexity. The water system functions are highly interwoven and would benefit from an integrated approach on a national level, with decisions...journal article 2012

Klijn, F. (author), Kok, M. (author), De Moel, H. (author)Especially in low-lying deltaic areas, a sound adaptation policy is urgently needed, because relying on a global mitigation policy for climate change is way too risky. Both the Netherlands policy response and our research therefore focus on adaptation. In the Netherlands, climate change is given due attention for about two decades already,...report 2012

Rongwinriyaphanich, S. (author)This paper presents the application of a proposed analytical framework that takes cultural dimensions as main parameters to explain territorial development processes. It is illustrated through the analysis of flood risk management in two case study areas in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. It aims to help planners and policy makers to better...conference paper 2011

Veerbeek, W. (author), Ashley, R.M. (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Rijke, J.S. (author), Gersonius, B. (author)Few, if any urban areas are nowadays built in isolation from existing developments. Therefore, urban expansion and making existing urban areas more sustainable is a contemporary goal. There are major opportunities to do this through the ‘normal’ renewal of urban infrastructure and building stocks both now and in the future. However, significant...conference paper 2010
