Climate change also means increased flooding. therefore strengthen dikes, dunes enormous importance. 

DELTA PLAN is a satellite system to keep an eye on the state of dikes and dunes. This system can record things like subsidence in ditches or holes in the dunes so through a combination of satellite images and geographic information, the system sends a signal is administrator that something is not right, for example dune x. 

You can see every day how the state of affairs around your coast.
