1990s/2000s: evolution from Flood Prevention to Flood Accomodation, and to multi-layer flood safety
• Prevention
Limit the risk of a flood disaster
(dikes, dunes and barriers)
• Sustainable spatial planning
Limiting flood effects, making communities and infra more valuable and resilient
• Crisis management
Reducing the consequences of a flood

Ecosytem Services Valuation (Earth Economics)
Provisioning services: produce food, water, oxygen, buildings, fuel, clothing, medicine, etc. Everything in our economy is
made from natural capital such as minerals, liquids, gases and living things.
Regulating services
create and maintain healthy environmental conditions. Examples are gas, and climate stability, flood
and storm protection, water quality, soil erosion control, and disease and pest control. These
contribute to ecosystem functions and economic resilience.
Supporting services
maintain conditions for life including habitat, nutrient cycling, soil formation, and pollination. These naturalprocesses are vital. Provided to us free of charge, they are often left out of economic analysis.
Cultural services
provide meaningful human interactions with ecosystems. Cultural services include spiritual, recreational,
scientific, aesthetic and educational value.
