The Netherlands is extremely successful at an international level when it comes to flood protection. The country has a large number of specialists available in every conceivable area: from the design and construction of dikes, forecasting systems, and decision-supporting systems, through to crisis management, measurement systems and evacuation.
Flood protection can be better: twice as effective, twice as fast. That is our ambition. Sensors that register dike conditions 24/7. Flood mapping per satellite and real-time information about the weather and water levels. As well as improved forecasting systems, decision-supporting systems and high-tech training centres. That is Flood Control 2015. We make flood protection smarter.
