8 Deltares vision for Rijkswaterstaat
• More modelling flexibility
• Reduction number of models
• Reduction number of calculation engines
• More efficiency coupling different model systems
• Open soure, benefit from developments elsewhere
• Increase interaction water management organisations
• Efficiency in development costs and maintenance costs

10 Implementation D-HYDRO Suite
• Planning:
– Second half 2015, plan of approach
– First half 2016, execution of the plan
– Second half 2016, start building first model
– Rough estimation, whole proces takes 5 years
• Workshops:
– First workshop, model builders and developers
– Second workshop, Rijkswaterstaat users and consultants
– Third and fourth workshop, focus on special area’s
• Overall vision om Models for Rijkswaterstaat:
– Build one model for the Netherlands
– Divided into manageable models
