The Oosterschelde basin and area are central in this project. Sea level rise due to climate change will have its impact on the safety of Oosterschelde area and the Oosterschelde storm surge barrier. In the long term the present system and management will not be able to guarantee the safety of the Oosterschelde area. On top of the safety issue, there are also changing societal demands and unforeseen effects of the Delta Works. Rijkswaterstaat is in need of new strategy to ensure the safety and take the ecological and economical demands into account. We will use a sea level rise scenario (e.g., 150 cm in 2100) that is beyond the capability of the storm surge barrier. After a problem analysis the students will design a future scenario that deals with (future) safety, ecology and economy requirements of the various stakeholders. Next, the students will use backcasting to design a roadmap that will lead the stakeholders to this desired future scenario.
