    THE DUTCH DELTA MODEL FOR POLICY ANALYSIS ON FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE NETHERLANDS R.M. Slomp1, J.P. de Waal2, E.F.W. Ruijgh2, T. Kroon1, E. Snippen2, J.S.L.J. van Alphen3 1. Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment / Rijkswaterstaat 2. Deltares 3. Staff Delta Programme Commissioner ABSTRACT The Netherlands is located in a delta where the rivers Rhine, Meuse, Scheldt and Eems drain into the North Sea. Over the centuries floods have been caused by high river discharges, storms, and ice dams. In view of the changing climate the probability of flooding is expected to increase. Moreover, as the socio- economic developments in the Netherlands lead to further growth of private and public property, the possible damage as a result of flooding is likely to increase even more. The increasing flood risk has led the government to act, even though the Netherlands has not had a major flood since 1953. An integrated policy analysis study has been launched by the government called the Dutch Delta Programme. The Delta model is the integrated and consistent set of models to support long-term analyses of the various decisions in the Delta Programme. The programme covers the Netherlands, and includes flood risk analysis and water supply studies. This means the Delta model includes models for flood risk management as well as fresh water supply. In this paper we will discuss the models for flood risk management. The issues tackled were: consistent climate change scenarios for all water systems, consistent measures over the water systems, choice of the same proxies to evaluate flood probabilities and the reduction of computation and analysis time.

  • Tussen Rijn En Lek 1981 3
    Tussen Rijn en Lek 1981 3. - Dl.15 3 - 3 - In waterstaatkundig opzicht had hij geen enkel belang noch bij hetbestaan noch bij het verdwijnen van de dam en het is de vraag of ookde graaf van Gelre zoveel baat zou hebben gehad bij een eventuele ver-wijdering, laat staan de graaf van Kleef. Het is niet onmogelijk, dat degraaf van Holland de graven van Gelre en Kleef er bij betrokken heeftom het geschil bewust te laten eskaleren. De enige, die er belang bijhad, dat de dam bij Wijk in stand bleef, was de bisschop van Utrecht.De graaf van Holland hoopte ongetwijfeld dat de bisschop toegeeflij-ker zou worden ten aanzien van het bestaan van de Zwammerdam,wanneer hij zelf het risico zou lopen, dat de afdamming van de Krom-me Rijn ongedaan zou moeten worden gemaakt op grond van dezelfdeargumenten als die, welke hij aanvoerde tegen de Zwammerdam.Te stellen dat de bisschop belang had bij de dam in de Kromme Rijn iseen voorbarig antwoord op de vraag naar het waarom van de afdam-ming. Een antwoord, dat overigens al door de oorkonde van 1165wordt gesuggereerd, waar als reden wordt opgegeven: bevrijding vanwateroverlast. Omdat dit antwoord gemakkelijker te preciseren valt alswij over meer gegevens van chronologische aard beschikken, is hetdienstig het leggen van de dam eerst wat nader in de tijd te situeren. Hetenige chronologische gegeven, dat de oorkonde van 1165 biedt, is datde dam antiquitus facta est. Hij lag er in 1165 vanouds, sinds mensen-heugenis; de toen levende generatie wist niet anders. Voorlopig kunnenwij het leggen van de dam dus dateren ten laatste in het eerste kwart vande 12e eeuw.

  • Infographic Over Het Operationeel Watermanagement Op De Nederrijn En Lek
    Infographic over het Operationeel Watermanagement op de Nederrijn en Lek Inleiding Deze infographic omvat een kaart van de Nederrijn, de Lek en enkele omliggende wateren. Daarin zijn feiten over het operationeel watermanagement opgenomen op de betreffende locatie. Dit zijn schutsluizen, inlaten, spuisluizen, gemalen, keersluizen, stormvloedkeringen en vismigratievoorzieningen. Ook zijn de meetlocaties en de streefpeilen weergegeven. Daarnaast is een uitgebreide toelichting gegeven over het operationeel waterbeheer op de Nederrijn en de Lek. Het Watersysteem De Nederrijn en de Lek zijn samen één van de drie Rijntakken. Ze zijn van stuwen voorzien om zo de waterverdeling tussen Nederrijn-Lek en de IJssel te kunnen beïnvloeden, en de waterstanden op eerstgenoemde riviertak te reguleren. Door het stuwbeheer wordt gezorgd voor voldoende zoetwateraanvoer naar het IJsselmeer en naar de omliggende gebieden, de chloride terugdringing in het benedenrivierengebied en voldoende waterdiepte voor de scheepvaart. Bovenstrooms Driel De Duitse Rijn komt bij Lobith binnen en gaat over in de Nederlandse Boven- Rijn. In Lobith wordt de waterafvoer en waterstand gemeten welke belangrijk is voor het hanteren van het stuwplan. Tussen Tolkamer en Millingen is het Bijlandsch Kanaal aangelegd. Deze gaat bij de Pannerdensche kop, over in de Waal en het Pannerdensch Kanaal. Bij normale en hoge afvoeren stroomt ongeveer twee derde van het water naar de Waal en één derde naar het Pannerdensch Kanaal. Het Pannerdensch Kanaal gaat over in de Nederrijn, en bij de IJsselkop splitst de IJssel zich van de Nederrijn af. De verdeling van het water bij de IJsselkop is afhankelijk van de stand van de stuw in Driel. Van Driel tot aan Hagestein In de Nederrijn en de Lek liggen 3 stuwen die volgens een stuwplan bediend worden.

  • Half a Century of Morphological Change in the Haringvliet and Grevelingen Ebb-Tidal Deltas (SW Netherlands) - Impacts of Large-Scale Engineering 1964-2015
    Half a century of morphological change in the Haringvliet and Grevelingen ebb-tidal deltas (SW Netherlands) - Impacts of large-scale engineering 1964-2015 Ad J.F. van der Spek1,2; Edwin P.L. Elias3 1Deltares, P.O. Box 177, 2600 MH Delft, The Netherlands; [email protected] 2Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University, P.O. Box 80115, 3508 TC Utrecht 3Deltares USA, 8070 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20910, U.S.A.; [email protected] Abstract The estuaries in the SW Netherlands, a series of distributaries of the rivers Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt known as the Dutch Delta, have been engineered to a large extent. The complete or partial damming of these estuaries in the nineteensixties had an enormous impact on their ebb-tidal deltas. The strong reduction of the cross-shore tidal flow triggered a series of morphological changes that includes erosion of the ebb delta front, the building of a coast-parallel, linear intertidal sand bar at the seaward edge of the delta platform and infilling of the tidal channels. The continuous extension of the port of Rotterdam in the northern part of the Haringvliet ebb-tidal delta increasingly sheltered the latter from the impact of waves from the northwest and north. This led to breaching and erosion of the shore-parallel bar. Moreover, large-scale sedimentation diminished the average depth in this area. The Grevelingen ebb-tidal delta has a more exposed position and has not reached this stage of bar breaching yet. The observed development of the ebb-tidal deltas caused by restriction or even blocking of the tidal flow in the associated estuary or tidal inlet is summarized in a conceptual model.

  • The Age and Origin of the Gelderse Ijssel
    Netherlands Journal of Geosciences — Geologie en Mijnbouw | 87 - 4 | 323 - 337 | 2008 The age and origin of the Gelderse IJssel B. Makaske1*, G.J. Maas1 & D.G. van Smeerdijk2 1 Alterra, Wageningen University and Research Centre, P.O. Box 47, 6700 AA Wageningen, the Netherlands. 2 BIAX Consult, Hogendijk 134, 1506 AL Zaandam, the Netherlands. * Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Manuscript received: February 2008; accepted: September 2008 Abstract The Gelderse IJssel is the third major distributary of the Rhine in the Netherlands and diverts on average ~15% of the Rhine discharge northward. Historic trading cities are located on the Gelderse IJssel and flourished in the late Middle Ages. Little is known about this river in the early Middle Ages and before, and there is considerable debate on the age and origin of the Gelderse IJssel as a Rhine distributary. A small river draining the surrounding Pleistocene uplands must have been present in the IJssel valley during most of the Holocene, but very diverse opinions exist as to when this local river became connected to the Rhine system (and thereby to a vast hinterland), and whether this was human induced or a natural process. We collected new AMS radiocarbon evidence on the timing of beginning overbank sedimentation along the lower reach of the Gelderse IJssel. Our data indicate onset of overbank sedimentation at about 950 AD in this reach. We attribute this environmental change to the establishment of a connection between the precursor of the IJssel and the Rhine system by avulsion. Analysis of previous conventional radiocarbon dates from the upper IJssel floodplain yields that this avulsion may have started ~600 AD.
