Flood risk reduction by parallel flood defences

Marijnissen, R., Kok, M., Kroeze, C., & van Loon-Steensma, J. - 01/08/2021 - All-Risk

Double dikes should be assessed using the transmitted loads of parallel defences rather than the failure of individual defences. The case study of this parallel defence consists of a low dike landward of a tall dike at the coast that, although designed with multi-functional purpose via a culvert, has a negligible improvement in flood protection.

Multidecadal Analysis of an Engineered River System Reveals Challenges for Model-Based Design of Human Interventions

Berends KD, Gensen MRA, Warmink JJ, Hulscher SJMH - 14/07/2021 - RiverCare

Models predict water level decrease, but measurements are too uncertain for now. This reveals a challenge for validation model predictions of human intervention

Anthropogenic Effects on the Contemporary Sediment Budget of the Lower Rhine‐Meuse Delta Channel Network

01/07/2021 - Rivers2Morrow

In this research, we construct sediment budgets which quantify annual changes for the urbanized Rhine‐Meuse Delta of the Netherlands, a typical urban delta experiences changing fluvial and coastal fluxes of sediment, engineering works and dredging and dumping activities. The delta shows a negative sediment budget (more outgoing than incoming sediment) since the 1980s, due to anthropogenic intervention.

Anthropogenic effects on the Contemporary Sediment Budget of the Lower Rhine-Meuse Delta Channel Network

J.R. Cox, Y. Huismans, S.M. Knaake, J.R.F.W. Leuven, N.E. Vellinga, M. van der Vegt, A.J.F Hoitink, M.G. Kleinhans - 10/06/2021 - All-Risk

The Rhine-Meuse Delta has a negative budget: Its entire network of channels is losing sediment annually. The reason for this negative budget is the high amounts of sand and mud removed for navigation to inland ports and from harbors which are periodically dredged. A strategy is required to deal with channel degradation and find ways to maintain sediment in the system.
