Coastal flood managers seek to anticipate future flood risk and as a result consider the adaptation of flood defences. Instead of crest heightening, dikes can be adapted to include hydrodynamic reducing vegetated foreshores to form a nature-based hybrid flood defence, for instance; at managed realignments. …

Seminar at Lille University, 2 February 2023 The main objectives of the living lab Hedwige-Prosperpolder are: - Build capacity to cope with the adverse effects of climate change - Advance and share knowledge on the design and maintenance of levees - Advance and share knowledge and experiences in flood …

This report bundles the annexes for the data report of the overflow tests executed on the Dutch part of the Hedwige-Propserpolder levees. Overflow tests on levees are designed to test the strength of levees and levee covers under the load of a continuously overflowing discharge of water. For this purpose, …

Report on testing of water overflow on Dutch levees. On the Dutch part of the levee in Hedwige-Prosperpolder, 11 overflow tests have been conducted. Overflow tests on levees are designed to test the strength of levees and levee covers under the load of a continuously overflowing discharge of water. …

This report bundles the annexes for the data report of the overflow tests executed on the Belgian part of the Hedwige-Propserpolder levees. Overflow tests on levees are designed to test the strength of levees and levee covers under the load of a continuously overflowing discharge of water. For this …

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, …

Infosheet. Within the context of animal burrows surveys that took place in the test season 2021-2022 in the living lab Hedwige-Prosperpolder, an experimental setup with smoke bombs was developed to verify whether detected burrows by small rodents are interconnected in the subsurface. By injecting colored …
