Short summary
There is large uncertainty in the future development of flood patterns, e.g., due to climate change. We quantify relevant uncertainties and show how they can be used for flood protection planning. We find that one ought to include an estimate of uncertainty that cannot be quantified from available data (hidden uncertainty), since projections and data at hand often cover only a limited range of the uncertainty spectrum. Furthermore, dependencies between climate projections must be accounted for.
