The influence of compartmentalisation on flooding in Central Holland

This report focuses on the hydraulic effect of compartmentalisation to reduce the consequences of a flood event. Compartmentalisation stands for the division of the dike-ring area into smaller units (compartments) by the construction of dikes. Only a few of these compartments are supposed to flood in case of a large flooding. The floodwater is retained within these compartments, preventing flooding in the rest of the area. Investigations are also made into the influence of canals in the area and the possibility to redirect floodwater to a target location rather than retaining it Central Holland is selected as a study area. It is the largest dike-ring area in the Rhine-Meuse Delta, hosts the most inhabitants and has the largest economic value of all dike-ring areas.
