| ==Three distinct implementations of Dikes==
| |
| | |
| ===River Flood Protection===
| |
| : Along some of the larger rivers in the world (Rhine, Mississippi) elaborate levee structures have been constructed to prevent the river and its delta from flooding the banks.
| |
| | |
| ===Coastal Flood Protection===
| |
| : Many coastal flatlands are protected by complex flood defenses, for example the sea wall at Vancouver BC (Canada). An extreme example is the Netherlands, where huge levee structures such as the Delta works protect against coastal inundations. Besides protecting the landmass, these huge dikes are also used in the Netherlands to claim more land that was originally below mean sea level.
| |
| | |
| ===Spur dykes or groynes===
| |
| : These man made constructions are implemented as erosion prevention. These dikes are usually constructed at an angle to the bank or coast, and can be found in inland rivers and canals, and at the sea coast. They are for instance deployed in the 'Room for the Rivers' project in the Netherlands to counter bank erosion.

| =How do Dikes relate to the Tygron Engine?=
| |
| Water management is an important factor of spatial planning. Dikes (or levees) are some of the most basic water management measures that can be implemented; just build a wall and keep the water out!
| |
| | |
| In the Tygron Engine these Dikes play a special part. As dedicated [[constructions]] they can affect [[Terrains#Safe Zone Terrain|safe zone terrains]] and [[Terrains#Flooding Terrain|floods]]. By constructing a Dike as an independent [[Actions|action]] or as part of a [[Predefined Measures|measure]], the safe zone terrain will be expanded, protecting more houses and industry when a flood occurs. This can all be visualized in the Tygron Engine and a dedicated [[Indicators|indicator]] can be set up to have the implementation of levees score on the [[stakeholder]] progression.

| =Different ways of deploying Dikes in the Tygron Engine= | | =Different ways of deploying levees in the {{software}}= |
| In the Tygron Engine are two ways present to implement Dikes in a project; drawn in manually during the session as action, or deployed as part of a (predefined) measure. | | In the {{software}} are two ways present to implement levees in a project; drawn in manually during the session as action, or deployed as part of a [[measure]] using [[LeveeSpatial]]s. |
|
| |
|
| Implementation as action allows for trying out new plans and ideas. This can for instance be convenient when the project is part of an outreach to non-planners, for example residents or business owners, to let them try their own plans and ideas without an engineer pre-planning the flood protection for them. This can give session participants a stronger sentiment of involvement with the project. | | Implementation as action allows for trying out new plans and ideas.

| ===Editing properties of a Dike as Action===
| |
| The following properties can be edited of a new or already existing Dike that is set up as an action:

| |
| : In the name field ion the right panel, the default name can be replaced by entering a more suitable name. This can be for instance a reference to the top and side functions (see below).
