Dutch Water Management annual cost: € 7 billion
30-60% of budgets spend on:
•Finding data
•Getting Access
•Validating quality
•Duplication of IT tools

11. “The recently launched “Digital Delta Initiative” is a step in the right direction. This innovative programme aims to harness and collate vast and currently dispersed datasets to support better management of flood control and water resources in the country (Box 4.12).”
Finalist in various awards:

14. 1. Show the potential for substantially lowering the cost for managing water in all its aspects
2. Facilitate reuse of data and services: Develop Once, Reuse Often
3. Data ownership and quality control stay at the source
4. Focus on Enabling Services, not Applications
5. No vendor lock-in and no lock-out
KEEP IT SIMPLE
Design principles

15. Findings research
1. Digital Delta has both technical and social and organization cultural challenges
2. Digital Delta needs critical mass
3. Move standards to the users
4. Business case driven implementation, not just open data for open data sake
5. Knowlegde sector can shorten development time by digital delta infrastructure
6. Infrastructure dilemma: Government initiative in startup-phase is needed

19. Imagine all the waterdata of The Netherlands is readily available for everybody ……….
•Geo-information: provides the necessary structure
•Automated survey networks: the data-fundament
•New sensors, internet of things: a lot of data
•Real time hydromodels : much more data
•Social media more & more & more unstructured data
DD & big data

20. Simulation
Data retrieval / coupling
Find available data & connect computing engine with online data
DD & Next generation hydro model

21. New sensors

22. Water safety & crisis response
•Citizens understand why to leave
•Decisions pinpointed at the right time and the right location
•Spatial planning
3Di: act data
100x quicker
100x more detail
Spatially realistic

23. When & how
Where & what
Risk awareness (instead of 100% safe)
Multi layer Safety approach

24. •Watermanagement is changing drastically
–Operations, local, regional, national, international.
•Citizens are new “sensors” & well informed
•Models need & create huge amounts of new data
•Exponential data growth in addition to traditional sources: new challenge for government:
–SMART government: integration, validation and analysis
Data Analytics
