Where water flows, prosperity follows.<br/><br/>Many prosperous areas around the world are situated near large bodies of water such as oceans, seas, and rivers. These bodies of water play a vital role in enhancing the prosperity of societies through various means. They provide convenient access to transportation, food, recreation, and many other...

The geographical features in the Southern part of Limburg forces precipitation from upstream located areas to flow through a bottleneck, which is exactly located at the city centre of Valkenburg. This makes increasing the safety level more complicated than in other areas. The safety level of Valkenburg has a lower standard in comparison to the...

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....

Risk-informed decision-making needs methods for assessing flood risk, and often the flooding probability and the consequences of floods (such as economic damage and fatalities) play an important role in the risk assessment. Also, measures to reduce the flood risk need to be formulated, in order to make a risk-informed decision, whether to...

This paper presents and overview of advances in flood risk and levee reliability analysis in the Netherlands. It is described how new safety standards – in the form of a target failure probability – have been derived on the basis of nationwide flood risk assessments which taken into account both economic risk and risk to life. The process for...

A large part of the flood defences in The Netherlands does not meet the present safety standards. In 2014 the delta programme has proposed new safety standards, which are based on the flood risk approach. These new safety standards will for a lot of river dikes be stricter than the currently prevailing safety standards. A lot of work has to be...

Evers, G.A. (author)
A dike is designed for an extreme event which greatly exceed the situation under daily circumstances. The expected loading during such an event is, however, difficult to estimate. Inherent uncertainties in nature and epistemic uncertainties in models and statistical data impede a clear verdict about the exact loading on a dike. Consequently,...

The Dutch government is in the process of revising its flood safety policy. The current safety standards for flood defences in the Netherlands are largely based on the outcomes of cost-benefit analyses. Loss of life has not been considered separately in the choice for current standards. This article presents the results of a research project...

In CPB memorandum 195 is een voorstel gedaan voor een toetsnorm op basis van kostenbatenanalyse om na te gaan of dijkringen voldoende veilig zijn voor overstromingen. Naar aanleiding van ervaringen in de praktijk bevat dit memorandum het voorstel om de berekening van de toetsnorm voortaan uitsluitend te baseren op de eerstvolgende investering ...

De vraag is gerezen of de toetsnorm voor waterveiligheid goed wordt bepaald als er geen rekening wordt gehouden met de mogelijkheid dat de schade bij overstromen afhangt van de waterhoogte bij overstromen of de kans op die overstroming. Het achterliggend idee is: Hoe extremer de gebeurtenis, des te groter is de overstroming en de daaruit...

After the flood disaster in 1953 in the southwestern part of the Netherlands, Van Dantzig tried to solve the economic decision problem concerning the optimal height of dikes. His solution has a fixed probability of flooding after each investment (Econometrica, 1956). However, when there is economic growth, not the probability of flooding but the...

In de wet staan normen voor de bescherming van grote delen van Nederland tegen overstromingen. Deze normen zijn gebaseerd op omstandigheden en berekeningen uit de jaren zestig van de vorige eeuw. Sinds die tijd zijn de mogelijke gevolgen van een overstroming fors toegenomen: de economische waarde achter de dijken is gestegen en de bevolking is...

After the flood disaster in 1953 in the southwestern part of the Netherlands, Van Dantzig tried to solve the economic-decision problem concerning the optimal height of dikes. His formula with a fixed exceedance probability after each investment (Econometrica, 1956) is still in use today in cost benefit analysis of flood-protection measures....
