Project context and goals
The ACER project aims at identifying how long term developments such as climate change, socio economic developments, spatial planning and policy developments influence water management in the Rhine basin. The project develops an integrated Rhine model that enables quantifying the effects of term trends on the frequency and magnitude of floods and droughts in the Rhine. An important issue will be to assess changes in future flood and drought probabilities.
...
The strategies will be evaluated as to how they mitigate extreme events and lower risk (probability * damage) in especially the NiederRhein area at the border of Germany and the Netherlands.
The ACER project is funded by the Climate Changes Spatial Planning programma (BSIK - KvR): http://www.climateresearchnetherlands.nl/.
Period: 2005 - 2010
The PhD 'future flood risk in the Rhine basin' (working title), by Aline te Linde is funed through the ACER project
