Bakenhof, dijkteruglegging Malburgse dam
Objective
of this project is to remove the bottleneck which the Malburgse dam
forms in the Nederrijn river. The current dike does not longer
fulfil its demands with respect to maintenance and control.
Significant alterations were required. However, it was found that
relocation of the dike was more sustainable and effective. Hence,
the pre-1977 situation will be largely re-instated. |

Rosandepolder
The
objective of the project is to remove a hydraulic bottleneck in the
Nederrijn river. In the existing situation a railway track founded
on a dike crosses the Nederrijn. At times of high water this dike
blocks the flow through the flood plains and causes an increase in
water level upstream from it. With the investigative study a
solution is sought in which the flow capacity may be
improved.

Waterschap Groot Salland
Emmertochtsloot
Within
the plan-area, the objective is to increase ground water level or
rather, avoid droughts. This is done via a new regime of water level
control in the streams in the area. Regulated outflow of the area to
the river then gives a reduction of discharge and hence, a decrease
in water level. The canalised streams are all brought back to their
natural meandering form. One of the consequences of the increase of
ground water level is that the various uses of land need to be
reconsidered. |

Creation
of a retention area in the Province of Overijssel. The course of the
Polbeek and the downstream section of the Overijsselse Vecht have
experienced a number of water management problems. Discharge peaks
in recent years have become higher as a result of the
intensification of the drainage system and the land consolidation.
Project aims: prevent unnecessary inundation, enhancement of the
natural environment and the natural re-routing of the water course,
to serve as a case model. |

Stuweiland Driel
The
project concerns the implementation of a measure of which the
preparations have already been completed. The function of the
existing weir island is to preserve navigability on the Rhine. In
such, it forms a hydraulic bottleneck during periods of high water.
A balanced integral solution was found. The ground level of the
island will be mostly lowered, a fish passage is incorporated and a
new nature and recreational function is assigned to the
area. |

plains in Cluster Lower Rhine as presented by the Dutch National
Advisory Group. The increase in water level upstream may be greatly
reduced and hence contributes to the long term objectives of the
International Rhine Commission of an overall reduction of 150-200
mm. The purpose of this project is to contribute to high water
management by creating more room for the river in the Lower Rhine
and Lek stretch. This project must be seen in conjunction with
another project: creating a passage through the ferry roads (the
access road to the ferry of Lexkesveer). |

The
objectives of this project follow up on an original project of 1996
to sustain the area's structure by assuring flood-prevention. The
task objectives are to make room for the river by directly
connecting the polders to the Merwede river and by improving on the
environment by development of creeks, hollows and higher areas for
scenic landscaping. In effect, the project supports the goals of the
original project of 1996 that was in connection with the Brabantse

Integraal Waterbeheer De Vliert
The
Brabant catchment faces the problem that the majority of the area
drains via the side-rivers Dommel, Aa, Beerze and Reusel which all
converge into the Meuse at the city of 's-Hertogenbosch. The project
involves de-coupling of roofs and quiet residential streets from the
sewerage system in De Vliert (part of 's-Hertogenbosch). The
rainwater which as a result no longer reaches the sewerage system
will be used, infiltrated or discharged/buffered to nearby surface
waters. This project also plays part of a series of project
proposals which come under the approach of high water problems in
Noord-Brabant, Belgium, Limburg and Antwerp. |

The
project concerns enlarging the flow cross section at Zaltbommel.
Changes in spatial functions require an intensive co-operation
between the involved local authorities. For dike improvement further
downstream (Deltaplan Grote Rivieren), the Breemwaard was an
important source for clay. The preparatory phase is already
completed; the construction phase has begun and will be finished end

Oosterbeek (preparation)
The
major downstream bed of the Lower Rhine is becoming increasingly
narrow while limiting the possibilities of work in the major bed.
The hydraulic bottlenecks are therefore given high emphasis so that
possibilities are created for the widening and deepening of the
major bed. The purpose of the Oosterbeek-railway bridge project is
first to contribute to this cluster-management along with work on
the Rosandepolder by creating more room for the river in both the
Lower Rhine and Lek stretch.

Maaswerken: Grensmaas (Preparatory phase)
The
section of the river Meuse in which this project is located is known
as the ‘Border Meuse’. The Border Meuse (Grensmaas) stretches from
Maastricht to Roosteren (a lenght of approximately 45 km). There are
no flood barriers along this section of the Meuse. Because the Meuse
Valley is very low-lying here compared with the surrounding
landscape, the problem of flooding is restricted to the valley
itself. After the floods in 1993 and 1995 and the publication of the
Boertien Committee’s main report on the Meuse flooding, the Limburg
directorate of the Department of Public Works and Water Management
(RWS) launched the Sand Meuse project. The Boertien Committee
recommended deepening the river’s summer bed and putting up dikes in
high-risk areas. The Boertien Committee’s recommendations were
incorporated into the national Major Rivers Delta Plan. The Border
Meuse project, which had been started up some time before, also
acquired a further aim: to offer protection against flooding and to
encourage the development of a more natural Meuse. The aim is to
reduce the risk of flooding to less than 1/250 per year.

Maaswerken: Zandmaas (Preparatory phase)
The
unprotected section of the river Meuse in the Netherlands runs from
Eijsden to Boxmeer (km 0 to 148). There are no flood barriers along
this section of the Meuse. Because the Meuse Valley is very
low-lying here compared with the surrounding landscape, the problem
of flooding is restricted to the valley itself. After the floods in
1993 and 1995 and the publication of the Boertien Committee’s main
report on the Meuse flooding, the Limburg directorate of the
Department of Public Works and Water Management (RWS) launched the
Sand Meuse project. The Boertien Committee recommended deepening the
river’s summer bed and putting up dikes in high-risk areas. The
Boertien Committee’s recommendations were incorporated into the
national Major Rivers Delta Plan. The aim is to reduce the risk of
flooding to less than 1/250 per year.
The
Sand Meuse project will require preparatory work to be carried out
which, although it will have little or no effect on the water level,
is nevertheless vital if the river is to be enlarged. The purpose of
the pilot projects is to test the design process and the method of
implementation of the chosen river enlargement method in actual
practice, to obtain a clearer picture of the hydrological,
morphological and ecological effects, to facilitate the targeted
co-operation between the parties involved and to provide an example
of the way the Sand Meuse project should be tackled. The eroding
banks pilot project includes a site at which the consequences of
pilot 1 to 3 will be recorded.

Waterschap Velt en Vecht
Uitbreiding Hardenberg
The
project will be carried out within the scope of the urban expansion
of the town of Hardenberg. The area drains into the river Vecht and
within the framework of tackling the high water problems on the
Vecht, the Water Board has indicated that the discharge from the new
residential area and industrial estate is not permitted to exceed
the discharge from a similarly sized rural area. Apart from the
reduction of peak levels, the purpose of the project is to create
retention capacity in order to reduce the peak levels discharged
from this area and to increase the infiltration in the urban area.
The multi-sectoral approach, which concentrates on separating water
flows and reducing overflowing, will result in a clear reduction of
pollution in comparison with ’standard’ urban expansion plans. Also
the construction of retention basins will reduce the damage caused
by dehydration due to reduced infiltration capacity of the new urban
area. |

Marswetering
This
project is located close to the river Overijsselse Vecht. Until the
end of the fifties, this area had a natural discharge regime, which
allowed inundation to occur. During the sixties, large areas were
drained to benefit the agricultural development. Retention
possibilities became scarce, therefore it became almost impossible
for the water system to anticipate on high water levels on the
rivers IJssel and Vecht. The main objectives of this project are: to
restore the natural drainage regime; to create retention
possibilities; to prevent undesirable inundations; and to restore
the natural water course system. Activities are: automation and
modernisation of the downstream sluices and weirs, construction of
retention areas, re-meandering of the Marswetering (= water course),
construction of a pumping station, construction of small

The
municipality of Doesburg is situated along the river IJssel. A part
of the hardened area will be taken of the sewerage system by
infiltrating into the ground. This results in a reduction of water
flowing over the spillways into the IJssel and more retention in the
area. Objectives of the project are to set an example for
disconnecting hardened areas in an existing housing estate; to
decrease the volume of water flowing into the IJssel; to decrease
the volume of dirty water into the IJssel; to increase the retention
and to get back the natural level of the ground water and to get
more experience in disconnecting hardened areas by infiltration.
Reduction in drainage discharge for 1 ha disconnected urban area is
