In the coming decades, the layout of the Dutch river delta will require major changes. The increase in the normative discharge of the river Rhine from 15,000 m3/s to 16,000 m3/s (and in the future perhaps to 18,000 m3/s) is a reason for taking large-scale expanding measures. These measures can have an effect on the discharge distribution over the river junctions at the Pannerdensche Kop and the IJsselkop.

Svašek Hydraulics has built a numerical model of the river junctions with the 2D water-movement model WAQUA. With this model, the discharge distribution over the river branches at the junctions of the Pannerdensche Kop and the IJsselkop, at Mean High Water conditions, was investigated.

The effect of any relatively small-scale, quick-to-realise measures has been calculated. A number of these measures can be used in the future to manage the discharge distribution over the river branches at MHW.
