Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract |
This damage calculation is used as an essential element in the risk calculations. This risk level is calculated by means of an equation which contains the summation of the frequency of the observed inundation multiplied by the value of the damage caused by that inundation. In other words, the supplementary value caused by a flood with a specific return period is calculated by comparing it with the value of the damage caused by a flood with a smaller return period. The use for society of the risk model is that an objective comparison of the impression of security can be made by means of a mathematical method that can be used in the different hydrographical catchments. Another advantage is the possibility to calculate the risk in the present situation and compare it with future scenarios when the morphology and the bathymetry of the fluvial system (due to dredging, heightening of dikes…) or the land use of the inundated land are changed. |
