Ellen Tromp gave a presentation on levee management in the Netherlands, Europe, and worldwide. She discussed the over 15,000 km of levees in the Netherlands, the shift to flood risk management focusing on prevention, room for rivers, and building with nature. She also covered levee strength assessment, monitoring systems, and strategies for spatially integrating levees and land use planning to increase robustness for climate change. Tromp concluded that effective flood risk management requires preventing floods, reducing risks, and emergency response planning, while accounting for changing hydraulic and built environments over time.
