✦ Synopsis

The government of the Netherlands has formulated an action programme to prepare the Dutch water systems for future changes like climate change, subsidence, and spatial developments, as these are expected to increase both frequency and damage of flood events. One of the commitments made was that all water agencies are obliged to test their regional surface water systems to new flood standards based on an acceptable probability of flooding. The question addressed in this paper is whether this type of flood standards is appropriate to ensure that cost-efficient measures are taken. A case study is used to illustrate that applying the proposed standards can lead to inefficient measures, and that a better objective is to minimize flood risk, within acceptable cost.
