| Abstract: | In anticipation of climate change and increasing demand for water Waterschap Rijn and IJssel has set the objective to retain 100 millimeter extra water. Several measures are selected and their effects on the entire management area have been modelled. To come to concrete adaptations of the water system these effects were analyzed on a regional basis. The goal of this research is to find measures that contribute to saving 100 millimeter water in the Liemers Bevermeer region. The study area consists of a mix of sandy and clay soils. These could impact the effectivity of the measures. One supporting research question is ‘Do different measures have to be taken between sandy and clay soils?’ This question is answered via a literature review. The primary research question is ‘Which measures are most effective to retain 100 millimeter extra water in the Liemers Bevermeer?’. This question is answered with data analysis and expert interviews. The model data only shows the rise or decline of the groundwater level. Expert interviewsare used to answer the other supporting question ‘What are the secondary effects of the considered measures?’. |
