Abstract

The Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt Delta is a low-lying delta in the Netherlands and Belgium. Its three major rivers, which drain a significant part of Northwest Europe, come together in a complex system of islands and channels. The delta is densely populated and of major economic interest to these countries. As most of it lies below mean sea level, it is heavily protected by major flood defence works. These strongly interfere, however, with the natural system, leading to a variety of undesired responses. The same goes for the numerous other human interventions with the system. Innovative methods are developed to mitigate or compensate these effects.
