16 Series of dams and barriers Rotterdam Antwerp
17 Arguments for Delta plan Full protection: Storm surge may not happen again Dams & barriers shorten the coastline : raising 1000 km of dikes is more expensive Create fresh water reservoirs & protection against salt intrusion Fresh water as potential for recreation 17

50 Risk When to invest? Acceptable level of risk Time
51 Original costs in 1970: 1,5 Billion Euro s (2007) Option 1. Replacement of doors for 60cm = 100 Million Euro Option 2: replace whole barrier = 1 Billion Euro s
52 Lifetime barrier = 100 years Design criteria in 1970 = 20cm sea level rise in 100 years Barrier is 50 years old: only10cm sea level rise to go With a SLR of 60cm/100years, the barrier would not fit design criteria in ~2025 In 2025 invest 100 Million Euro to replace doors (replacement whole barrier in )
53 However: If SLR is 150cm then replacement of whole barrier would be much earlier, and hence, replacing only doors in short term is not an option
54 Conclusions Barrier concept works, but adjustments needed: Environmental aspects Shipping Working with nature Beach nourishment River widening Architecture / building codes Climate change poses new challenge How to design measures such they are flexible to accommodate different future scenario s 54
