SSB-Δ: Informed Decision-making for Storm Surge Barriers in a Liveable Delta
FunderNetherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO)
DurationFrom 01 Apr 2025
Funded underNWA L2 - Thema 2022 - Stormvloedkeringen in een Leefbare Delta Stormvloedkeringen in een Leefbare Delta

Description
Storm surge barriers are essential for the protection of the Netherlands against storm surges. However, due to sea level rise, aging of these impressive structures and changes in the environment, the question is how long they will remain effective and functional. In the short term, decisions will have to be made about maintenance, while in the long term, adjustment or replacement will have to be considered. In this project, we will therefore work together as knowledge institutions, Rijkswaterstaat, water boards and companies to investigate under what conditions the storm surge barriers can still keep the Netherlands safe and liveable.
