Proceedings of the IRMA SPONGE Final Working Conference

Many important developments are currently taking place in the area of flood risk management in Europe. The IRMA-SPONGE Umbrella Program aims to contribute to these developments by co-ordinating and integrating 13 research projects, dealing with many aspects of flood risk management along the rivers Rhine and Meuse, in such a way that the output is maximised and shared. Over 30 organisations (both scientific and flood-management oriented) in all 6 Rhine / Meuse countries work together in IRMA-SPONGE, which thus also contributes to an improved cohesion in European flood risk management efforts in the future.Irma-Spong
