Economically efficient flood protection standards for the Netherlands

摘要: Within the context of Dutch Delta Programme,economically efficient flood protection standards for entire Netherlands were calculated using a recently developed methodology cost-benefit analysis and up-to-date insights into risk assessment. This results in economically different parts that significantly differ from current legal standards. The shows it is to raise especially along rivers Rhine Meuse, while many dike ring areas coastal region, existing seem relatively high. An additional Monte Carlo light uncertainties, these are also robust conclusions.The does not support general increase all flood-prone by (at least) factor 10, as was recommended (second) Committee 2008.
