Tettero, M. (author)The Netherlands is not well protected against flooding and limited budget it available for improvements. Therefore, this research investigates in what way the cost-effectiveness of Dutch flood protection can be improved with the use of multifunctional unbreachable dykes. The multifunctional unbreachable dyke, a dyke combined with additional user...report 2013

Kolen, B. (author), Hommes, S. (author), Huijskes, E. (author)We claim that, in The Netherlands, emergency management for flooding should be seen as an add on to existing emergency planning. Therefore, some specific preparation is required to minimize loss of life and maximize the use of available information, resources and infrastructure. This booklet discusses this preparation based on the experiences...report 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

Wijdeveld, A. (author)Flooding not only induces a risk which is related to direct loss of life for humans, animals and plants. During flooding, toxicants which are normally stored or otherwise unavailable might be released. The spreading of these pollutants during the flooding or, often more important, the persistent presence of toxicants in the soil or sediment...report 2009
