| Abstract |
The coastal lowlands of the Belgian region Flanders and of the Dutch region Zeeuws-Vlaanderen constitute a single cross-border flood unit. If a dike breaches in the Dutch part of this flood unit, the water might well flow into Belgium and vice versa. In order to achieve common approaches, a cross-border project, including some form of transnational co-operation with the responsible local authorities like the "Zeeuws-Vlaanderen Water Board", becomes necessary. Within the INTERREG IIIB project COMRISK and under the auspices of the North Sea Coastal Management Group, an international platform to implement such a cross-border pilot study has now been set up. |
