Spatial Ecological-Economic Analysis for Wetland Management

Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh A. Barendregt Alison J. Gilbert

This book was first published in 2004. Wetlands are very sensitive and valuable ecosystems that are subject to much stress from human activities. The study presented here has developed an innovative triple layer framework for analysis of wetland management. This approach provides support for spatial matching between physical planning, hydrological and ecological processes, and economic activities. The authors describe how integrated modelling at the regional scale can be achieved in practice. Following an introduction to wetlands, theoretical aspects of the contributing disciplines are discussed, as well as various aspects of integrated and spatial modelling. An applied integrated assessment of spatial wetland management for the Vecht area between Amsterdam and Utrecht is then presented. This assessment has resulted in a set of linked hydrological, ecological and economic models, formulated at the level of grids and polders, and various types of evaluations and rankings of scenarios. The results indicate the value of maintaining spatial detail for as long as possible.

The Vecht area: history, problems and policy

Cambridge University Press eBooks (2004)

Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh A. Barendregt Alison J. Gilbert

The Vecht area is a plain with wetlands, located between the river Vecht in the west (Fig. 5.1) and the sandy ice-pushed hill ridge ‘Het Gooi’ approximately 8km to the east. To the north, a former sea (‘Zuiderzee’), now reclaimed, bounds the area; 20km to the south near the city of Utrecht, the hill ridge and the river almost meet (Fig. 5.2). The area is a wetland region with many shallow lakes. Even where a solid soil is present, the groundwater table is close to the surface. The soil diversity is represented by the presence of three types of soil: close to the river and the former sea, there are deposits of clay soils; the centre of the plain is covered by a peat layer some metres in depth; and in the eastern direction this peat layer gets thinner until it reaches the sandy soil of the hill ridge. The area straddles two provinces (North-Holland and Utrecht) and includes 10 municipalities. The number of inhabitants in these areas is restricted. The centres with significant population sizes are mostly at the border of, or just outside, the area (see Table 5.1).

The spatial–ecological model: hydrology and ecology

Cambridge University Press eBooks (2004)

Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh A. Barendregt Alison J. Gilbert

This chapter describes the hydrological and ecological modelling that underlies the integrated modelling approach in this study. In addition, some general characteristics of the intermediate results are discussed. Aggregation of the latter will be pursued in later chapters. Modelling the interaction of hydrology and vegetation of a wetland has three main elements.

Evaluation of the scenarios

Cambridge University Press eBooks (2004)

Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh A. Barendregt Alison J. Gilbert

The performance indicators developed in Chapter 9 reflect three objectives (net present value (NPV), environmental quality and spatial equity), which will be used to evaluate the scenarios. This section presents the results of this evaluation. Its aim is to rank the scenarios, to identify where trade-offs among objectives may be needed, to identify spatial features within the ranking, and to identify elements within the scenarios that bear further consideration in regional planning. A distinction is made between point evaluation (the subject of Section 10.2) and spatial evaluation (the subject of Section 10.3). This distinction is illustrated below in Fig. 10.5.
