For a safe and efficient dimensioning of the Eider Evacuation Sluices it was necessary to know the magnitude and probability of the occurring wave forces. To determine those data a model investigation has been carried out in one of the wind flumes of the Delft Hydraulics Laboratory in charge of and in co-operation with the Bundesanstalt fur...

Dit rapport handelt alleen over de bepaling van het aantal doden. Er worden empirische relaties afgeleid op basis van waarnemingscijfers. Deze waarnemingscijfers zijn vooral afkomstig van de stormramp van 1 februari 1953 in Zuid-West Nederland. Daarnaast zijn ook gegevens gebruikt van inundaties elders (Nederland, Duitsland, Frankrijk, Spanje,...

Hekal, N. (author)
From the very earliest times, man has sought to reduce the damaging impact of floods. However, despite a growing understanding of flood hydrology, plus the application of an increasingly complex technology and the injection of progressively larger capital sums, flood losses continue to rise. The concentration was principally placed on the...

A chain is never stronger than its weakest link. This insight is the basis for the calculation method to determine the f lood probabilities of dike ring areas in the Netherlands. The TAW can already formulate first recommendations on research and policy making. This does not imply that the research on 'Flood risks: a study on probabilities and...

De TAW heeft een methode ontwikkeld voor het bepalen van overstromingskansen en met succes de bruikbaarheid getoetst op vier dijkringgebieden. Op basis hiervan adviseert de TAW u om in een periode van twee jaar de overstromingskans van alle 53 dijkringgebieden te laten berekenen en de meest urgente kunstwerken aan een nadere inspectie te laten...

In the first part the focus point is the river landscape in general. This involves some physical characteristics, an overview of relevant policy documents for the river landscape in the Netherlands is given and a number of aspects in which the interrelations between the different rehabilitation measures come to light. The second part, consisting...

BIO-SAFE is a policy and legislation based model for the assessment of impacts of flood prevention measures on biodiversity in river basins. Within the framework of IRMA-SPONGE, a transnational version of the model BIO-SAFE (Spreadsheet Application For Evaluation of BIOdiversity) for the rivers Rhine and Meuse was developed. The model was...

After the floods of 1993 and 1995 in the Rhine basin, the ICPR Action Plan on Flood Defence (ICPR, 1998) was drawn up, after which the environmental affairs ministers of the Rhine riparian states agreed on several meas-ures on the subject of improvement of flood forecasting and warning systems in the Rhine basin. One of the targets of this...

Traditionally, the design of sea and river dikes in Vietnam is primarily based on a water level with a particular frequency of being exceeded. The frequencies of exceedence of design levels and governing discharge are widely regarded as constituting a standard for the safety of the region protected by the dikes and are interpreted in terms of...

Flood risk (defined as a result of flood probability and potential damage) along Rhine and Meuse rivers is expected to increase in two ways: A. Climate change will cause a significant increase in the probability of extreme floods (according to a majority of climate change scenarios). B. The potential damage of floods (the level of investments in...
