The FloodResilienCity project has chosen to apply an integrated approach to sustainable flood risk management which has been developed and tested by the Scottish Government. This approach comprises four ‘A’s to be addressed in flood risk management plans and policies in the partner cities: Awareness, Avoidance, Alleviation and Assistance. The FRC strategy is to test and adapt the 4-A approach by applying it on the political, professional and public level (the 3 P-s) in the partner cities. The objectives of the FRC project are linked to this 4-A approach.

In order to give more ‘room for the river’ and avoid future flooding, in the Dutch city of Nijmegen the dike at Lent along the river Waal will be replaced 350 meters land inwards, leaving an island in the middle of the river.
 
 
 
 
By providing more space for water around Dutch rivers, flood risks will be reduced. That’s what the program Room for the River is about.
