Description
Four distinct future scenarios for the Netherlands in 2050, modeling the combined impact of climate change and socio-economic development on water management. The dataset contains modeled results per dike ring for population, dwellings, and living/working area. Results were produced by a consortium including Deltares, PBL, KNMI, and CPB using models like Space scanner, DRAM, Tigris XL, and PEARL.
Use Cases
Projecting regional population and housing demand based on socio-economic scenario variables.
Assessing land use changes for living and working areas under different climate futures.
Evaluating water management and flood risk infrastructure needs per dike ring.
Comparing outcomes of the Pressure, Steam, Warm, and Rest scenario narratives.
Strengths
Scenarios are based on modeling by a named consortium of authoritative Dutch research institutes.
Integrates two highly uncertain but impactful drivers: climate change and socio-economic development.
Results are provided at the granular dike ring level, a key unit for Dutch water management.
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale ML tasks.
Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
