Abstract

"To which extent can flood risk adaptation measures on the wastewater in foreign countries be implemented in the Netherlands? Climate change increases the flood vulnerability in the Netherlands. To decrease flood vulnerability, flood risk adaptation measures are used. With the use of a matrix based on barriers to climate change adaptation, flood risk adaptation measures on the wastewater system in different foreign cases are compared. Four cases of flooded wastewater systems and measures taken in response are analyzed, in Germany and the United States. Four groups of adaptation measures that are recommended for the Netherlands are defined; experiences from the past, cooperation, focus on te recovery phase and communication."
