Congratulations to our first winner of the night @RHDHV_UK on winning Innovation in Project Initiation! #NCE100 #NCE100Awards

Not bad to be told by jury chair / Heathrow Expansion Director that we blew everyone out of the water. Bacton is indeed a great story of project initiation through innovation and partnership. @RHDHV_UK

Good to see Emma Howard Boyd present Environment Agency’s #FCRMStrategy2100 for which I peer reviewed the evidence. Increase Funding & Prepare to Adapt: also my 2 key messages in Feb'14 to Channel 4 News Jon Snow standing in flood water with leaky wellies. bit.ly/2DSz687 @RHDHV

Copy-paste doesn't work - it's all about inspiration, and about translating tried&tested innovations. NL has to & does invest a lot in water innovations; UK can benefit. It works: Bacton, Stolford, Wisbech, Nereda @RHDHV

Thank you, it was great to make the Stolford scheme happen! Yes, different societal context, shaped also by history. I blame Napoleon...

Here's my colleague Jaap Flikweert commenting on the Lincolnshire embankment failure after 2 months of rain in 48 hours: geplus.co.uk/news/raf-deals… @RHDHV Environment Agency #Flood #FloodAware #Wainfleet #Lincolnshire

Our Stolford scheme shown on BBC News (UK) at Six as the example of how UK is preparing to adapt to climate change! Inspired by NL. @RHDHV @hillblock Environment AgencySW @johncurtinEA Netherlands Embassy 🇬🇧 Be quick, it's only on iPlayer till 6 tonight! bbc.in/2XCfzVf, 20mins in.

New #coastal management work has begun to protect local communities and 30% of the UK’s gas supply in Bacton, Norfolk. #Sandscaping is a sustainable Dutch approach which we’re pioneering for the first time in the UK with North Norfolk District Council. #BactonWalcottCMS

Our very own Jaap Flikweert joined North Norfolk District Council, the media and other visitors today to see how the UK #sandscaping first in Norfolk will protect 200 local homes from the force of the North Sea and #flooding. #BactonWalcottCMS

Sandscaping, adding new sediment to the coast, underway at Bacton in Norfolk UK as seen by Copernicus EU #Sentinel-2. The sand will be moved by waves and tides and will protect vital infrastructure.
