“…This study describes an enhanced methodology to assess the safety of a coastal flood defence using flooding probabilities. Calculated flooding probabilities can be very useful for coastal managers (Giardino et al, 2014). Flood risks are obtained by multiplying the flooding probabilities with the consequences of an inundation of the area considered, which depend for example on inundation depth, economic value, population density and possibilities for evacuation.…”

This paper describes a fully probabilistic safety assessment of the Dutch North Sea coast, in which stochastic properties of both hydraulic loads and strength of the flood defences have been taken into account. The study has led to an overview of failure probabilities along the coast with high spatial resolution. Both dikes and dunes have been considered. Failure probabilities at individual locations have been combined to flooding probabilities per dike ring area. The vast majority of the Dutch coastal defences is quite secure in terms of flooding. This study demonstrates that generally, the Dutch dunes provide a higher degree of safety than the sea dikes. When incorporating the consequences of flooding to the analysis, the calculated flooding probabilities can be used to determine flood risks. The probabilistic method, presented in this paper, enables accurate balancing between avoided flood risks and investments to reinforce the flood defences.

“…An example of a series of JarKus profile measurements at a single location is given in Figure 3. The authors of [31] defined suitable coastal indicators to assess the morphological development of the Holland coastline due to natural and anthropogenic pressure factors. In particular, the following indicators were used for setting up BERM-N:…”

This paper presents an application of the Bayesian belief network for coastal erosion management at the regional scale. A “Bayesian ERosion Management Network” (BERM-N) is developed and trained based on yearly cross-shore profile data available along the Holland coast. Profiles collected for over 50 years and at 604 locations were combined with information on different sand nourishment types (i.e., beach, dune, and shoreface) and volumes implemented during the analyzed time period. The network was used to assess the effectiveness of nourishments in mitigating coastal erosion. The effectiveness of nourishments was verified using two coastal state indicators, namely the momentary coastline position and the dune foot position. The network shows how the current nourishment policy is effective in mitigating the past erosive trends. While the effect of beach nourishment was immediately visible after implementation, the effect of shoreface nourishment reached its maximum only 5–10 years after implementation of the nourishments. The network can also be used as a predictive tool to estimate the required nourishment volume in order to achieve a predefined coastal erosion management objective. The network is interactive and flexible and can be trained with any data type derived from measurements as well as numerical models.

“…Those techniques set boundary conditions for development of innovative methods for coastal protection. In the Netherlands, for example, with the JARKUS monitoring programme, yearly measurements from the first dune row to approximately the À8 m contour has become available with an alongshore resolution equal to 250 m (Giardino, Santinelli, and Vuik, 2014). This on-going programme was started in 1963 by Rijkswaterstaat (Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment).…”
