Dutch Flood Resilience Solutions
Florida and Texas know firsthand what it means to live with water. From hurricanes and storm surge to inland flooding and extreme rainfall, flood risk is a constant challenge that threatens communities, infrastructure, and economic continuity. As these risks grow more frequent and complex, businesses and governments need solutions that are practical, proven, and ready to deploy. The Dutch Flood Resilience Solutions partnership brings together the Netherlands’ world-leading flood expertise with U.S. local knowledge to deliver exactly that. Built as a public-private partnership of innovative companies, research institutions, and government agencies, the collaboration focuses on working side by side with U.S. partners to reduce risk, protect investments, and keep cities and businesses running, before, during, and after flood events.
Our partnership offers a comprehensive, one-stop approach to flood resilience, based on the Dutch principle of multi-layered safety. Solutions span the full timeline of flood risk: short-term emergency response, medium-term monitoring and early warning, and long-term planning, design, and adaptation. From predictive modeling and data-driven early warning systems to rapidly deployable flood barriers, pumping solutions, and resilient infrastructure design, every solution is tailored to local conditions and backed by globally recognized expertise, including TU Delft and Deltares. With a strong focus on collaboration, innovation, and scalability, we invite stakeholders to work together to build stronger, safer, and more flood-ready communities across the southern United States.

Showcases
Dutch Float Dike is a self-activating flood protection system that stays open at low water, preserving views and access, and automatically rises during high water—without manual or mechanical operation. Designed for urban environments, it provides reliable, HBWP-proof protection up to 4.5 meters, with low maintenance, easy testing, and a long lifespan of 50–100 years.
