Probabilistic versus deterministic approach

Deterministic a design water level, a design wind speed and wind direction Probabilistic Infinite number of combinations of water levels, wind speed and wind direction

What are Hydra-models?

A method to weigh possible physical events (water levels and waves)

Hydra user Rijkswaterstaat

Geographical information

Statistics Physical models

water levels and waves

Data bases

water levels and waves

Hydra

Dike information

Hydraulic load

(water level or runup level at legal return period)

Flood retention on the Rhine

1000 m3/s flood retention is a drop of 30 -35 cm on the Waal in design water levels Probabilisticly this is only 20 – 25 cm

Dikes have been built in all sizes, forms and heights Rhine Branches 600 km dike, 6000 cross sections Meuse 200 km dike, 2000 cross sections

All dikes are modeled as:

a 1 in 3 outer slope the actual outer crest level the dike perpendicular line from GIS, filtered for 100 m sections
