Commentary: Dike Relocation from an Environmental Policy Perspective

van Staveren M.F. In: Hartmann T., Slavíková L., McCarthy S. (eds) - 23/08/2019 - All-Risk
Het Elbe-Brandenburg bioreservaat is een gebied waar dijkverlegging veel toegepast is als een nature-based maatregelen. In dit commentaarstuk wordt het belang van het betrekken van lokale stakeholder onderstreept, door middel van door de overheid gefinancierde participatieprojecten.

Commentary: Dike Relocation from an Environmental Policy Perspective

van Staveren M.F. In: Hartmann T., Slavíková L., McCarthy S. (eds) - 23/08/2019 - All-Risk
The Elbe-Brandenburg biosphere reserve in Germany is a dike relocation project that became a nature-based solution. This commentary highlights the importance of a structured participation via a series of funded projects to keep relevant actors on board.

Contribution of Infragravity Waves to Run-up and Overwash in the Pertuis Breton Embayment (France)

Lashley, C. H., Bertin, X., Roelvink, D., and Arnaud, G. - 02/07/2019 - All-Risk
The analysis shows that gravity waves rapidly decrease across the embayment while infragravity (IG) waves are enhanced. These findings show that the contribution of IG waves to dune overwash along the bay is significant and highlight the need for any method or model to consider IG waves when applied to similar environments.

Do all dike instabilities cause flooding?

Van der Krogt, M.G., Schweckendiek, T. & Kok, M. - 26/05/2019 - All-Risk
The case example shows that the current practice of assuming that the probability of flooding is equal to the probability of instability is very conservative especially at relatively low water levels.
