Delta-studio: Dutch Delta Programme
In cooperation with the 'Delta-studio', Posad is
working on the strategies for all the nine Delta programmes of the
Netherlands. The aim is to connect all Delta programmes and to determine
the focal points; dike improvements, water level changes, building
adaptively and completely new rivers.The
Netherlands is the best protected delta in the world. But how can we
ensure that we remain protected from high water – now and in the future –
and that our supply of freshwater is secure? And, in addition, how
can we ensure that the Netherlands remains an attractive country in
which to live, work and invest? The measures that are necessary to this
end are prepared and elaborated in the Delta Programme. The Delta
Programme is a national programme in which the Dutch government,
provinces, municipalities and water authorities work together in
collaboration with civil society organisations, the business community
and knowledge institutions under the direction of the government
commissioner for the Delta Programme.Being safe and staying safeThat
we are able to live in our delta is never simply a matter of course. It
demands constant efforts to ensure that we are safe, and stay so. The
work is never finished. Measurements show that the sea level is rising
and subsidence is occurring. We are expecting more extreme weather with
more wet periods. Rainwater must be discharged via the rivers. The
prevailing safety standards date from the 1960s and were set after the
disastrous flood in the south-western Netherlands in 1953. Today,
we have more to protect than we did 50 years ago. Away from the coast
and behind our river dikes lies a densely-populated area with people,
animals and goods that are vulnerable if flooding occurs. Almost 60% of
our country is vulnerable to flooding, including our economic heart.
Flooding results in unimaginable suffering and damage. Protection from
floods – caused by the sea as well as by our large rivers – is therefore
of vital importance.Research by designThe
Delta-studio is the workshop for research by design within the Delta
Programme. The Delta-studio has as its motto 'verbinden door verbeelden'
and is the label for all spatial design activities within the Delta
Programme. The Delta-studio makes clear where opportunities for synergy
between water and space and strengthens the integrated approach of the
Delta Programme.The Delta-studio contributes to the development
of strategies, both as part of sub-programmes as for coherent strategies
at a higher level. The Delta-studio is responsible for the quality and
consistency of the research by design within the sub-programmes. Through
research by desig and word and (map) images the Delta-studio
contributes to the deepening of the issues of the Delta Programme and
the exploration of possible solution strategies. The Delta-studio is
therefore always looking for solutions that work because they resolve
the water issue and also add social value. Solutions that contribute to
opportunities for the city and opportunities for agriculture,
opportunities for ecology and opportunities for the environment of man.Results since 2012:Maps of generic sub-programmes in the Delta Programme 2013Design
