Deltas for the future: Lessons learned in a water innovation programme
2011
Van der Duin, P. | Bruggeman, W. | Sule, M.
Delta regions worldwide have to cope with increasing pressure on land use and the consequences of climate change and rising sea-levels. Usual methods and solutions are no longer satisfactory for future challenges of flood protection, sustainable energy, and freshwater supply. Consequently, truly innovative approaches and technologies have to be developed and implemented. Therefore, Rijkswaterstaat (NL) has executed a water innovation programme (WINN) in the period 2002 -2010, in cooperation with Deltares. Analysing a selection of the important and interesting results of the WINN programme by use of the Cyclic Innovation Model (CIM), this paper indicates key factors for successful innovation and makes recommendations for an effective organisation of a governmental water innovation programme.
