What are the water management challenges facing (international) river basins and what can they do to meet them? What can (international) river basins do to prepare and adapt to future changes? 

Organised and moderated by the International Commission for the Protection of the Rhine, the oldest international environmental river commission in the world, and accompanied by other river basin organisations from all over Europe this session address the issue of preparing (international) river basins for the effects of socio-economic and climatic changes, with consequences on discharge (floods, low water & droughts), the use of the water and water availability. To answer these challenges a strong cooperation within river basins is fundamental. Collaboration between river basins themselves could be also highly beneficial. The session goes beyond solely managing flood risks.

After an introductory presentation by the ICPR on the new integrated Rhine 2040 programme and the work related to CC and (quantitative) water resources management, the participating basin organisations and international institutions will share their experiences on future challenges and ongoing programmes/projects in the form of a round table discussion and Q&A. Possibilities for further (international) interbasin exchange and cooperation will be explored. 

In addition, the public will have the opportunity to ask questions to the various organisations present and to participate in the debates. Questions submitted beforehand by the public will be addressed within the session. Additionally questions from the audience can be asked via chat during the session.

Across Europe, the countries need to take measures – part of the EU Water Framework Directive – to protect the hinterland from flooding, such as dike reinforcement projects. At some locations, this appears to be difficult, partially due to the perceived challenges and hurdles around the Natura2000 legislation. Different approaches are followed both within and between countries. It is worth the effort to enhance the learning on these approaches in an attempt to safeguard both the threatened species and habitats as well as the inhabitants from flooding.

Transitions between levees (earthen flood embankments) and other hard structures are areas of weakness within an overall system of flood defences and can be found at any location, on or within a flood defence where there is a change in flood defence structure or of protection revetment (slope or crest, road, etc.), in an internal cross section and in the construction or foundation materials. The transition typically promotes the processes of internal and external erosion. If these processes are undetected, or left unchecked, they can ultimately lead to flood defence failure and breach. This special session outlines the results of UK research on the inspection, performance assessment and management of transitions. There will be plenty of time for discussion to explore experiences of attendees related to transitions, to compare different approaches in Europe and elsewhere to their assessment and management and to identify future research needs.

There is much discussion around the involvement citizens and communities in the delivery of flood resilience. This interactive session draws on recent review work from England looking at the role of citizens and communities in flood and coastal erosion risk management activities, specifically in terms of managing uncertainty and future risks through adaptation and transformation (proactive resilience) to examine what the future of communities’ and citizen’s involvement might look like, the challenges and opportunities. The session will consist of:

  1. Current and possible futures for communities and citizens (Dr. Clare Twigger-Ross, CEP)
  2. Discussion in small groups: futures, challenges, opportunities (All)
  3. Challenge Panel and discussion on   Communities’ and citizens’ involvement challenges and Opportunities – Where next? – Key experts from different perspectives in FCERM including Prof Lindsay McEwen
  4. Round up and final points

Led by: Karin de Bruijn, Heather Murdock, Shristi Vadya and Dr. Evalyna Bogdan

Urban areas are very vulnerable to floods and risk management in such areas is complex. In the event of a flood people and businesses in the urban environment often depend on the ability of the city and higher levels of government to cope. There are, however, many actors that need to be involved including not only water specialists and emergency managers but also urban planners, critical infrastructure operators, and the local community as a whole. This session will explore how damage and disruption can be reduced in a workshop format with consideration of the role of critical infrastructure and network effects using the Circle tool. This will include:

  • Presentation on urban flood resilience  (Dr. Karin de Bruijn)
  • Workshop session using the CIrcle tool (Heather Murdock & Shristi Vadya)
  • Debrief session (Dr. Evalyna Bogdan)

We invite anyone interested in enhancing urban flood resilience to join this participatory session.
