[en] The Meuse river basin is shared by five countries. Climate change in the future decades could either lead to a dryer or a wetter situation. In order to build an adaptation strategy that would cope with both scenarios and that is agreed at the international level, water experts have set-up the AMICE project. Quantifying the flood damages is an important part of this project. It required much negotiation at every intermediary step, from the definition of climate scenarios, to the hydraulic modeling and the agreement on damage functions.
