Verhagen, H.J. (author)In this paper, protection options for a high-value, industrial area along the coast of West Bengal (India) are investigated. The options are designed to protect against cyclone surges with a probability of 1/100 per year. Two alternatives are compared, a classical solution of a dike with a revetment and a solution with a mangrove belt in...journal article 2019

Lemmens, D. (author), Bisschop, F. (author), Visser, P.J. (author), van Rhee, C. (author)Dikes constructed from sand generally have a sand core and clay layers on the slopes and the crest to protect the core against erosion. In extreme hydraulic conditions, several failure mechanisms can lead to destruction of the clay layers, exposing the sand core to water. When water overtops the dike and the protective cover of the land-side...journal article 2016

Schaafsma-Tilstra, M. (author)Dikes are part and parcel of the Netherlands. Down through the centuries they have played a role in every attempt to make this country inhabitable in the reclamation of peatland and marshland, as coastal embankments and to enclose polders and flank rivers. This means they are often cultural heritage features of the highest order as they have...report 2014

(author)This study is part of a global study on the costs of adaptation to the effects of climate change. It adds information from three specific case studies (the Netherland, New Orleans and Vietnam) to the global study. The case study areas are comparable by type of coast; all are low-lying deltaic coastal areas. This study investigates the unit cost...report 2010

Pilarczyk, K.W. (author)As a low-lying and highly developed country, the Netherlands is continuously facing potential flooding disasters. Thats why we need strong safe water-retaining structures like sea and river-dikes. Moreover half of the country lies below mean high water level. Without dikes more than half of the country would be endangered by flooding. About 60%...report 2003

This chapter...report 2003

Wondergem, P.J.M. (author), Visser, J. (author)The question is often raised as to how long the next generations can continue to live and work in low-Iying Dutch Delta. The system of dikes, combined with the limited space for rivers, should guarantee our safety against inundation for the next hundred years, at least. But what do we do thereafter, wh en the sea level continues to rise,...report 2001

Verhagen, H.J. (author)The 1400 km Dutch coastline is affected by sea level rise. At this moment a legal framework is made to guarantee the safety of dikes also in future. Also a national policy id developed for compensation of all coastal erosion. Both measures should make it possible for the Netherlands to survive an increased sea-level rise,report 1990

Van Veen, J. (author)Historical overview of hydraulic engineering in the Netherlands until 1960. The author wrote the main part of this book during the second world war. The author (1893-1959) advocated at that time strong improvement of the Dutch sea defences, but this was politically not accepted. For that he used the pseudonym "Dr. Cassandra". After 1953 he...report 1962
