witnessed severe flood in 2006, when
sea level rose to 1.76 m above normal. The extreme rainfall events will bring pressures to the local
drainage system as well.
This project is aiming to build scenarios for adaptive flood management in the coming 20 years for
Horsens Fjord, based IPCC emission scenario A2. The climate situation is shown in Table 1. Two
