The implementation of the EU Floods
Directive in Denmark
Danish Ministry of the Environment, Danish
Coastal Authority
The project was part of the implementation
of EU Floods Directive (Directive 2007/60/EC) in Denmark. In Denmark, it is the
responsibility of the government to identify areas of potential significant
flood risk and to map the flood hazard and flood risk in these areas. The
purpose of the project has been to properly represent the flood challenges in
the 14 areas of significant risk in Denmark, of both current small flood events
and possible future extreme flood events. In this way, the models are forced with
extreme conditions that must still result in realist flood scenarios used for
flood risk planning in the municipalities. The flood hazard maps are based on
dynamic hydraulic flood modelling in each area of risk, using the
high-resolution Danish terrain model, adjustments by the municipalities,
measurements of rivers, embankments etc. The flood maps are determined for
several scenarios in each area, ranging from current high probability events to
future very low probability events, and in some fiord areas, also combined
events, with flooding for the river and sea happening at the same time. Alexandra
Georgiana Ioan has been responsible for 3 of the 14 significant risk areas in
Denmark: Holstebro, Vejle and RandersFjord.

InterReg project FAIR
Danish Ministry of the Environment, Danish
Coastal Authority
The overall objective is to reduce flood
risk across the North Sea Region (NSR) by demonstrating climate change
adaptation solutions to improve the performance of flood protection
infrastructure. The flood protection infrastructure needs renovation, adaptation,
and maintenance all across NSR. Ribe is the oldest city in Denmark and is
located on the Danish North Sea coast approximately 7 km inland. The city has a
considerable challenge in regards to lack of maintenance of flood
infrastructure. Many dikes have to be rebuilt or renovated to uphold the
required security of the hinterland. Alexandra Georgiana Ioan has been
responsible for to properly represent the flood challenges in Ribe (24898ha),
Denmark; to prepare and carry out the needed modelling work - Ribe Å and Knogeå
rivers (27km) and 41 km of coastline; and to provide the hazard and risk
mapping.

Strength assessment of the Danish dikes
Danish Ministry of the Environment, Danish
Coastal Authority
The overall objective is the
implementation of a national dike strength assessment, which the Danish
government adopted in 2017. The project includes a national strength assessment
of all Danish coastal dikes. The risk assessment must form the basis for a
forward-looking management of these risks in the coastal zone and will allow
for planning in the coastal zone taking into account the consequences of
climate change. The assessment included 460 km of dike length. The national
risk assessment includes an assessment of the safety of all sea dikes that
protect the population and their values, as well as the infrastructure in the
coastal hinterland against flooding. The assessment includes the identification
of geometrical and hydrodynamic parameters. Alexandra Georgiana Ioan has been responsible
for the detailed geographical mapping of all dikes; for the extraction of all
dikes geometric profiles; for developing GIS-based methods for calculating the
dike strength; for developing data quality management tools in GIS –
contributes to an efficient process in the national risk assessment.

Ringsted Kommune, Denmark
Benløse City Park is an under-utilised, low
lying green area, densely surrounded with housing, institutions, business and
trade. To thoroughly appreciate the challenges and ‘uplifting’ climate adaptation
opportunities for the park, Rambøll was engaged to undertake a comprehensive
flood investigation and envision a holistic, multi-functional climate adaptation
proposal. The first phase included the
hydrological and hydraulic modelling and flood calculations of the area’s
floodplains and drainage system were undertaken to determine the site’s
vulnerably. After that, under different climatic scenarios, meteorological
forecasts, and community engagement workshops, a finalized range of flexible,
environmentally sensitive and cost-effective proposals to mitigate and
potentially remove the risk of extreme weather events were developed.
