NOM info@nom.nl webmaster@nom.nl Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:00:00 +0200 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:00:00 +0200 News MMBase 1.9.6.2012-02-09T17:36 (r46257) http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss/ 120 http://www.ijkdijk.eu/articles/41319/Dashboard_LiveDijk_Eemshaven_ Innovation with respect to inspection of flood defenses is accelerating. At the IJkdijk facility breach tests in test embankments are carried out on a regular basis, leading to new knowledge. Now also the LiveDijk Eemshaven writes history by making the progress of innovation in and around flood defenses more tangible: online data of sensors in dikes are now available for real-time viewing online. Wed, 21 Apr 2010 12:00:00 +0200 http://www.ijkdijk.eu/articles/41234/Urban_Flood The IJkdijk focuses on the development, testing and validation of sensor systems in water defences. UrbanFlood investigates the use of this sensor network technology to support early warning systems and emergency management.

This monitoring system, based on geotextiles equipped with optical fibers, has already been used in Europe for a few years and was tested earlier in the IJkdijk.

A water barrier six metres high and a hundred metres long will collapse under an extremely high water level.
