Planning of Nourishments based on Reference Coastine (BKL in dutch)

  • Compensate erosion, preserve “sandy” system
  • Yearly: Measure, Asses, Plan Nourishm ents
  • Reference Coastline:

– Preserve existing coastal functions (protection against flooding, structures on the dunes, dune habitat, recreation, fresh water extraction… .)

  • 1. Do nothing

Costs

  • Yearly budget, approx.

55Meuro/ 40 M GBP

  • Down from 70 Meuro in

2009

  • Efficiency: 4 year plan

vs annual plan

Sequential tendering

  • Friday contract 1
  • Tuesday notify all contractors who put in a bid
  • Friday contract 2
  • Tuesday notify all contractors who put in a bid
  • Friday contract 3
  • Tuesday notify all contractors who put in a bid
  • Finalize the contacts.

  • Safety standards
  • A flood defence should be

able to with stand the fixed standard Current standards

  • 1/ 10.000 central Holland
  • 1/ 4.000 rest of the coast
  • 1/ 2000 and 1/ 1250 inland

Safety standards

  • All dutch levees have to meet a fixed “safety

standard”

  • In other words: the accepted probability of

breaching of a levee is set by the Water Act (the standards are given in next slide)

  • When insufficient Levee’s are reinforced

Seaward dune extension of about 42 meter Water defense (dike and sand) is positioned seaward of boulevard (boulevard area becomes protected) Space for new developments on the boulevard (economic impulse)

Towards new safety standards

  • Current safety standards (embedded in Water Act) are derived

from ‘expired’ risk- and cba analysis (late 1950’s)

  • Hence: current safety standards lead to suboptimal investments

in flood risk reduction (now and in the future)

  • S

ince 1990, ongoing work to gain insight to update the standards

  • 2014 first “draft” of new standards have been set
  • 2017 finalize within the legal framework

Policy objectives (2050)

Letter to parliament (April 2013):

  • 1. Provide a solidary baseline for personal safety

Associated Risk metric: Local I ndividual Risk 1 0 -5 per year

  • 2. Prevent large numbers of fatalities and large

economic damage as much as possible

Associated Risk metric: Societal risk / Econom ic risk ( CBA)

  • 3. Prevent the loss or failure of vital / vulnerable

national assets as much as possible

Associated Risk metric: Econom ic risk ( CBA)

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Rijkswaterstaat 29

Level of standard: towards tolerability

Local individual risk

10-4? -> CBA will overrule 10-5? -> tolerable? 10-6? -> too strict with respect to floods as non man-made disaster

.

CBA

Optimizing economic risk reduction vs costs

Economic risk investment

Total cost

‘take the strictest’

Governance, key aspects

  • Water Act

– Compensate structural erosion (Tool: reference coastline, helps with transparency and measure performance) – Safety levels for flood defences

  • Federal funding

– Nourishments – Reinforcem ents flood defences (50% )

  • Local funding

– Maintenance of flood defences – Reinforcem ents flood defences (50% ) – Improvements to local infrastructure (f.i. beachfront)
