總結:The main aims of the research presented in this thesis were two: to identify the impacts of extensive construction of flood-control infrastructure on the flood dynamics of the delta and to explore adaptation options to maximize livelihood sustainability and ecological sustainability on the delta. An available 1D-quasi2D hydrodynamic model was developed for the delta system as a whole to simulate flood discharges and river water levels, considering four dike construction scenarios. Using a sustainable livelihood perspective, alternative farming systems were explored using multi-criteria analysis and cost-benefit analysis on the local scale, relying on multiple interviews with stakeholders operating under different types of dikes and at different locations on the floodplains. The next step was to elaborate on costs and benefits while shifting the focus to the delta scale, also considering various future flood-control scenarios.
