Netherlands: best protected delta region word wide

The Netherlands 26% below sea level When no dikes/dunes: 66% frequently under water

The Netherlands 26% below sea level When no dikes/dunes: 66% frequently under water

The Netherlands 26% below sea level When no dikes/dunes: 66% frequently under water

Threats - North Sea - Inner Lake: Ysselmeer - Main Rivers: Rhine, Meuse

Risks - level country: to 6 m below sea level - dense population: 12 mln below sea level - high level of investments - insurance/evacuation impossible Solution: high level of protection = prevention against floods

Protection - rings of levees - dams: fixed or flexible

Level of protection - 1/1.250 - 1/10.000 - level probably insufficient

Organization of water management - Central government. - legal system Organization of water management - Central government - legal system - strategic policy - main system - Regional Water Authorities

Water Authorities in The Netherlands: 26

Lessons from history - often to late: disasters - clever response = reactive attitude - 1953: flood from North Sea - 1995: flood from River Rhine - challenges for response

Response - Protection Ysselmeer (1932) - Delta plan North Sea (1959) - Delta plan main rivers(1995) - Room for Rivers (2004) - New Delta Commission (2007)

Delta Commission - Pro active attitude - Vision until 2200 - Extraction of new measures - coast defense - threat from rivers - soil subsidence

Threat word wide - climate Threat word wide - climate? - sea level - soil subsidence in urbanized areas (delta’s/coasts) - density of population - New Orleans: wake up call
