Nature-based strategies, such as wave attenuation by tidal marshes, are increasingly proposed as a complement to mitigate the risks of failure of engineered flood defense structures such as levees. However, recent analysis of historic coastal storms revealed smaller dike breach dimensions if there were …

Groene, infiltrerende verharding is een maatregel die genomen wordt om de negatieve effecten van klimaatverandering tegen te gaan. Het doorbreekt de betonnen laag van de stad met groen waardoor het helpt tegen zowel piekbuien, droogte als hittestress. Dit onderzoek is uitgevoerd om een beter inzicht …

Managed realignment is the landward relocation of flood infrastructure to re-establish tidal exchange on formerly reclaimed land. Managed realignment can be seen as a nature-based flood defence system that combines flood protection by the realigned dike (artificial) and restored saltmarshes (nature-based). …

Although in 2019 the local government of Tegal city Indonesia had constructed a retention basin at drainage system of Siwatu, Tegal Barat, Tegal city with a catchment area of 226 ha, the areas around the system still experienced flood and inundation. This study belonged to a descriptive qualitative research …

Poster. Polder2C’s is an Interreg-funded project that aims at flood resilience building through fieldwork in the Living Lab Hedwige-Prosperpolder (LLHPP). LLHPP consisted of a 3 Km-long levee where various large-scale surveys, superstorm simulations and emergency response exercises took place in the …

Animal burrows create discontinuities on the body of earthen levees that under certain circumstances can threaten their structural integrity through hydraulic alteration and surface erosion. Although it is a virtually established fact that discontinuities can undermine the structural integrity of levees, …

The purpose of this paper is to propose a research by design strategy, focusing on the generation of innovative climate adaptation solutions by utilizing the Design Thinking Process. The proposed strategy has been developed and tested in a research and design studio, which took place in 2020 at a Master …

Flooding has become more common in many developing nations as a result of increasing urbanization and climate change. As a result, community people are constantly confronted with the harmful impacts of floods. Flooding is a recurring issue in Nigeria, causing huge economic losses as a result of damage …

A dike has been punctured to allow limited tidal waterflows into an agricultural landscape near the village of De Heen in the west of Brabant Province. A transition towards a brackish agriculture will be supported by a saline visitor center that is embedded in the water flows surrounded by new crops, …
