Probabilistic effect analysis – The Species Sensitivity Distribution
To assess the environmental impacts of human interventions, species indicators can be useful to evaluate the effects of different designs. The so-called Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) uses...
View ArticleRoughness module for sediment dynamic modelling
The bed roughness tool, a mathematical model, can be a useful instrument for hydraulic engineers to quickly set up a bathymetry with a variable roughness of the surface. Sediment dynamics in the...
View ArticleSpecies Response Curves for Seagrass
This tool explains in general terms how seagrass responds to environmental conditions, specifically to reduced light penetration, which is one of the most severe threats for seagrass ecosystems...
View ArticleStakeholder analysis
BwN projects operate on the boundary of several physical and social scales and sectors, because they are usually complex and of high exposure. A multitude of interests are therefore involved in the...
View ArticleValuation of risks and opportunities
This tool is a framework that helps to identify important risks and opportunities (e.g. for co-financing) and ways to integrate them in the cost-estimates of a project. Cost-effectiveness and...
View ArticleVisual thinking for creative designing
Visual thinking is the process of translating one’s thoughts to relatively simple images on paper. This process has proven to be very useful in assisting the development of concepts, identifying key...

Please note that this website is currently not running, but the principle and method can be applied to monitor other locations. The Wave Transformation Table is a look-up table to quickly obtain...
View ArticleSystem Analysis
The natural system is the starting-point of any Building with Nature project. In order to develop solutions, the general scope and structure of the system need to be defined. To understand the...
View ArticleMonitoring of coastal morphodynamics using satellite imagery
This tool aims to use observed morphodynamical changes of any coastal system during the last 30 years to predict future morphological effects to coastal interventions. This is done by the analysis of...
