▪ Legal form: foundation under Dutch law
(no shareholders)
▪ Activities targeted at extending our
knowledge (Not4Profit)
▪ Doing applied research and specialized
consultancy
▪ Working (inter)nationally for public and
private sector
▪ Making use large in-house research
facilities and software
▪ Strong links with Academia
▪ Open source policy
Campus in Delft
8. If this would be true: life time of investments decreases:
we are running out of time

9. Within 50 years we might have to decide between these options
What do we need for that?

a world-wide flood problem

12. We need something clever to protect this kind of areas

14. Hard Structures, nature based solutions:
“Happy Mangrove planting”
• Hard structures on muddy beds expensive to keep stable:
• Mangrove replantation. Success rates of 5 – 10 %.
coast-protecting groins, Georgetown
However, after some time,
this is the picture
(90-95 % of the experiments)
16. This is the level of maturity of nature based
engineering(~19th century)
17. Nature based solutions:
Delta flume experiment with willows
Funding partly via crowd sourcing

18. Need for really large scale experiments….
but these are difficult to execute
Salt marsh works
in NL
Permeable dams mimic mangrove
Evolution in time
Permeable dams to reclaim the land
19. So in our view, for climate adaptation:
We need urgently tools that can simulate behaviour of Nature
Based Solutions simply…
… to avoid the most dangerous mistakes in decision making
