The objectives of this scoping mission by two Dutch and two Vietnamese experts, were (a) to identify opportunities for collaboration between the Netherlands and IFAD in the Mekong Delta, and (b) to acquaint IFAD with the added value of Dutch expertise. This took place in the context of Resolution 120/NQ-CP (2017) on “Sustainable and Climate-Resilie...

Coastal wetlands, beaches and dunes have always played a role in the protection of coastal lowlands. Using their capability to attenuate waves and prevent erosion has gained more momentum in recent years. Critical to their design is an understanding how different parts of the coastal system function as one coastal protection system, with sediment s...

Vegetated foreshores in front of existing dikes can contribute to the overall reduction of wave loads on the dike. In order to test this concept in large shallow lakes a field pilot was constructed along the Houtribdijk in Lake Markermeer (the Netherlands) in 2014 to gain experience with construction, stability, maintenance and governance aspects....

Some of the beaches along the coast of Oman are eroding due to interruption of sediment transport processes by port and harbour infrastructure, placing seafront property and natural habitat at risk of loss. Coastal erosion is also exacerbated by the trapping of sediment in upstream dams on wadis that would otherwise reach the coast and enter the li...

Dredging projects use large amounts of fuel, which leads to substantial carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Until now, reducing the carbon footprint of dredging projects has mainly involved investigating the possibilities of dredging schemes and vessels that are more fuel efficient. A reduction in the order of 10–20% may be within reach, most of it is...

Natural foreshores are shallow zones and beaches with a gradual slope and a (near-)natural vegetation that can be usedas an additional protection against flooding by reducing the wave attack on existing dikes, or can even completelyreplace an existing dike system. In order to test the applicability of this concept a 500 m long pilot section of a sa...

Het project ‘Toekomst Veenweide’ biedt inzicht in de mogelijkheden voor een klimaatadaptieve inrichting van veenweidegebieden. Het Inspiratieboek, wat nu voor u ligt, geeft kort en bondig oplossingen weer. De ontwikkelde methodiek dient als voorbeeld en inspiratie voor alle veenweidegebieden in West- en Noord-Nederland. Het Inspiratieboek is een ui...

Het Werkboek geeft een generiek stappenplan voor het identificeren van opgaven, maatregelen en strategieën voor polders. Er wordt hiertoe aanvullende informatie, een checklist en achtergronden aangereikt. Het project ‘Toekomst Veenweide’ is gericht op polders uit het Landschaps Ontwikkelingsperspectief (LOP) Midden-Delfland. De meeste polders hebbe...

Working in coastal planning is nearly always innovative, since no two coasts are the same. Even if they appear to be physically similar, local conditions and governance settings are usually different, thus requiring a different approach. Each project is unique, which makes coastal projects exciting and diverse.

In de perceptie van de burger is elke verandering in de omgeving een inbreuk in zijn of haar beeld daarvan. Elke gebiedsontwikkeling die we bestuderen staat of valt bij het betrekken van de burger bij die veranderingen, om duidelijk te maken waarom zo’n verandering nodig is en hoe die ook nuttig kan zijn voor de betrokkenen. Voor de natuur is een v...

In het Deltaprogramma staan de waterveiligheid en de watervoorziening van Nederland nu en voor de lange termijn centraal. In de aanpak wordt actief gezocht naar de koppeling met andere ambities van rijk, provincies, waterschappen, gemeenten, maar ook van maatschappelijke organisaties en bedrijven op andere beleidsterreinen, zoals economie, natuur e...

A unique integrated modelling system has been developed and applied for environmental assessment studies in connection with the Gabcikovo hydropower scheme along the Danube. The modelling system integrates model codes for describing the reservoir (2D flow, eutrophication, sediment transport), the river and river branches (1D flow including effects...

The dry summer of 1976 triggered a wholesale installation of sprinkler systems for agriculture. This dry summer also revealed areas in The Netherlands most susceptible to drought, namely sandy regions and the coastal fringe. This resulted in distribution of Rhine water to new areas, and in quantities hitherto unknown. The Second National Water Mana...

Mangroves cover extensive wetland areas in the tropics and have a very diverse appearance resulting from different environmental conditions. Long neglected as a valuable natural resources, mangrove development has now gained momentum and large tracts of mangroves have been reclaimed for agriculture, converted into aquacultural ponds and deforested...

Meteosat noon and midnight images of various dates in 1978, 1983 and 1985 have been used to study the dynamics of flooding in the Niger Delta and Chari/Lagone/Chad system. A new method, based on image histogram information, was developed and applied for atmospheric correction of the imagery. Noon visible and noon and midnight thermal infrared image...
