Boerema A, Van der Biest K, Vrebos D and Meire P - University of Antwerp, Belgium; Taal M - Deltares, the Netherlands; van Holland G - IMDC, Belgium; Mestdagh S and Ysebaert T - NIOZ, the Netherlands; Roose F - Department of Mobility and Public Works, Belgium
Summary: This paper will discuss a GIS tool which allows managers to investigate and demonstrate the additional environmental and societal benefits of smart sediment management strategies. It will also show how the tool was used for a series of innovative sediment management strategies in the transboundary Scheldt-estuary.
Demo Smartsediment tool
