The method is able to reproduce the modelled recovery caused by climatic equilibration under
climate protection scenarios which provides confidence in the approach.
A weakening of more than 25 % is found to be very unlikely under
a climate protection scenario (RCP2.6), but likely for unmitigated climate change.

To evaluate whether the country's flood
protection strategy is capable of coping with future
climate conditions, an assessment of low - probability / high - impact
scenarios is conducted, focusing mainly on sea level rise.
[2011 paper 157 cites] Exploring high - end
scenarios for local sea level rise to develop flood
protection strategies for a low - lying delta — the Netherlands as an example Sea level rise, especially combined with possible changes in storm surges and increased river discharge resulting from
climate change, poses a major threat in low - lying river deltas.
Each flow peak of the future streamflow
scenario exceeding the local flood
protection levels is assigned an impact (PA and ED) through linear interpolation among the return periods estimated for the current
climate.
