vulnerable people, animals andvital objects and networksrequire extra protection

Tools• to identify the assignments• to support planning & design

Many, many options:

Lots of measures can be taken

Soft solutionsHard solutions

flexible and cost-effectiveless flexible, extra investment

more space but multi-functionalless space required

Blue-green solutions preferred over grey ones

Discuss and co-design solutionswith experts and stakeholders

Adaptation Support Tool

Dashboard

Ranked list of 62 blue, green andgrey adaptation measures

Dashboard

Dashboard with KPI’sbased on key figures, e.g.:

• Retention [m3]• Peak flow reduction (Treturn [yr])• Seasonal storage [m3]• Cooling effect [oC]• Groundwater recharge [mm/yr]• Water quality improvement:

• Nutrients (%)• HMs, PAHs, min. oil (%)• Bacteriological quality

• Costs (implementation and maintenance)• Benefits and ‘co-benefits’

Recent developments

First applications of these tools:

in the NetherlandsUtrecht, Dordrecht, …

abroadLondon, Beira, Oaxaca, …
