  13. Policy integration and preparation Safety, Nature and Economic growth for Flanders • Updated Sigmaplan dd. 2005, necessity: • Endangered Aquatic and marine fauna and flora (natura 2000 – habitat directive) • Reassessment of flood risk (climate change – spatial planning) • Economic value of the river Scheldt

  14. Policy integration and preparation Safety, Nature and Economic growth for Flanders project areas of the Sigma Plan • 1976 (start) – 2005 (actualisation) – 2030 (completion) • 500+ kilometers riverdykes • 5,000 hectares flood control andnatureareas

Policy integration and preparationmore sustainable approach Deeperinsight in the estuary’smanyfunctions Integral water management Respect the variousfunctions of the water system; Avoidnegativeconsequencesfor the environment; Seekaddedvalueandsynergies ROOM FOR THE RIVER APPROACH Movingdykeslandward (de-poldering) More complex ‘controlledreducestides’ (GGG) New riverareas (new alignment of the embankment)

  33. Policy integration and preparation Safety, Nature and Economic growth for Flanders • PAST • Decisionsbased on high water levels; • Basic rule: water canbesuppressed; • taller, strongerdykes • flood control areas • 2005 • Decisionsbased on potentialdamage (costs –benefits); • ‘Floods are also part of the Scheldt’; • Safety vision: Betterprotectionbygiving the river more room tobreathe
