Diversification of flood risk management in the Netherlands: Implications for boundary judgement practices

To reduce residual risks, they increasingly need to incorporate spatial and other measures. This has implications for the boundary judgements made by water authorities, that is, the implicit and explicit decisions about who and what is relevant to include and consider.
