An increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather patterns will further increase this risk, contributing to flooding from rivers and from urban drainage systems with insufficient capacity.
These challenges call for implementation of adaptive measures in coastal zone management, river basin management, water supply, and storm- and wastewater management, to name just a few. Our experience in hydraulic modelling and risk assessment of flooding from the sea, rivers and drainage systems allows our customers to make informed decisions about future investments.
Environmentally and financially sustainable solutions rely on an evaluation of flood risk and costs for climate adaptation. Investments in climate-adapted buildings and infrastructure can not only help to safeguard standards of living but can also avoid undesirable human and material losses from extreme weather and flooding.
