The Future of Hydrological Forecasting: A Scenario of Analysis Read more about The Future of Hydrological Forecasting: A Scenario of Analysis This presentation shares how Deltares ensures that their tools and expertise remain “state-of-the-art” in hydrogological forecasting.
Yellow River – A Hydrological Basin Approach Read more about Yellow River – A Hydrological Basin Approach This presentation discusses the challenges of setting up a conceptual hydrological model for the Yellow River Basin and other rivers. It also provides an overview of the open-source platform Blue Earth tool and computational framework, which helps assess river basin scenarios and improve water management decisions.
Adaptive planning under deep uncertainty: Dynamic adaptive policy pathways and climate adaptation Read more about Adaptive planning under deep uncertainty: Dynamic adaptive policy pathways and climate adaptation This presentation discussed an overview of adaptive planning using Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways (DAPP), citing case studies using DAPP applications.
Eline Boelee Keywords Deltares water sector group Seminar Series water management integrated water management water resources management disease transmission through water systems water-health-ecosystems interlinkage vector-borne diseases waterborne pathogens Read more about Eline Boelee Dr. Eline Boelee, senior researcher and advisor for water-environment-health interlinkages at Deltares, discussed how an integrated approach contributes to the understanding of health risks in water systems. She focused mainly on freshwater systems, looking at drivers, pressures, state, impact, and responses. Boelee also provided examples of innovative monitoring and modeling used in forecasting and preventing health risks and spread of diseases.
Collaborating on innovative and sustainable solutions for integrated water management Read more about Collaborating on innovative and sustainable solutions for integrated water management This presentation discussed ‘The Climate Resilient City Toolbox’ (CRCT), which supports collaborative spatial planning of adaptation measures and/or explores alternatives for a resilient and attractive urban area. Participants learned how a well-balanced plan can best be co-created by multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders in the conceptual phase of planning. A customized CRCT used in an ADB pre-feasibility study of ecosystem-based adaptation measures for Xiangtan (People’s Republic of China) was also discussed.
The Future of Hydrological Forecasting Read more about The Future of Hydrological Forecasting Real-time flood forecasting is one of the most effective flood risk management measures. Many governments operate bespoke hydrological forecasting services that continuously monitor and forecast coastal and fluvial water levels.
Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways and Climate Adaptation Read more about Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways and Climate Adaptation Many investments and policy decisions in water management have significant and often long-term consequences. At the same, there are investments being made that influence adaptation requirements and long-term options to adapt. Therefore, making sound near-term decisions is critical—unfortunately, we live in an increasingly unpredictable dynamic world governed by competing and changing beliefs and preferences.
