title: Cooperation in flood risk management
creator: Van Schoot, F.H.E.
description: The effects of climate change can have diverse effects on water bodies. These effects makes areas vulnerable for flooding (Restemeyer et al., 2015). Therefore measures are taken, such as building water storage areas like ‘het Zuidelijk Westerkwartier’. In such projects many different stakeholders with different interests are included. Due to these different interests challenges might occur (Fleischhauer et al., 2012). This research makes use of a qualitative research method to figure out the challenges in ‘het Zuidelijk Westerkwartier’. Ten interviewees address current challenges in order to get an idea of how a transition in flood risk management can be made. Especially well-willingness to learn from each other and stimulating bottom-up processes seem the way towards good governance. Furthermore, the different actors should help improve increasing the flood risk awareness among citizens to make sure that water storage projects can be developed in the future as well.
