Tools
How do you substantiate spatial adaptation? In recent years, several tools have been developed and fine-tuned under the Delta Plan on Spatial Adaptation. The tools are available for anyone, free of charge. The images below provide more information on these tools.
Several other parties have also developed tools; see the list below. Use the filter to search by issue (waterlogging, heat, drought, and urban flooding), and type of tool. There is also a filter for the ambitions of the Delta Plan on Spatial Adaptation. Some tools require external support, others are available free of charge. Find a tool missing? Please let us know.
