FRM in focus: video

In the Netherlands large areas are at risk of being flooded. Sea-level rise and more extreme weather events, caused by climate change, calls for innovative water management to develop resilient landscapes for rivers and estuaries. The Future FRM Tech programme develops flood resilient landscapes for rivers and estuaries as well as technical solutions for water barriers. Watch the video to get to know more about the project
