Water managers in the Netherlands are facing a huge challenge to reinforce the dikes to keep the country safe under climate change with increasing floods, droughts and decreasing biodiversity. The FutureDikes project aims to develop knowledge and tools to realize species rich dike covers, which make dikes stronger and ecologically sustainable. The key question in FutureDikes that is tackled together with the project partners, is how to realize species-rich, biodiverse dike covers and to what extent such dike covers increase dike strength?
