| Abstract |
The concept of combining Flood Control Areas (FCA) and areas with a Controlled Reduced Tide (CRT) to give “Space to the River” is an original idea that has been developed in Belgium. In order to perform knowledge transfer of the FCA-CRT method to other European partners, an idealized modelling approach is proposed as a tool for assessing the applicability for other European estuaries. This study investigated the different topo-bathymetry schematization methods and their impacts to the tidal propagation. Then an idealized model with the implementation of an FCA-CRT is used to explore the influences of its location on the estuarine hydrodynamics and tidal range reduction. |
