Water management in the low-lying delta of the Netherlands is a precarious planning issue that continuously needs adjustment because of the ever-changing conditions of the water system and the society that inhabits this risk-prone area. The recent concern for climate change has given rise to additional challenges for the sustainability of current water management strategies. These are related to the anticipated rise in sea level, the increase in river discharge and changes in the local precipitation patterns.
