Abstract
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are computer programs that are able to
bring large amounts of data of both the physical and the social system together in one
comprehensive overview shown digitally. GIS occurred very rapidly on the Dutch policy
agenda. In this paper we analyze how the fast introduction process of GIS-based
instruments in water management and more specifically in river flood management can
be explained. By applying a range of classical models on agenda-setting, we show the
important contribution of GIS to the water and flood issue in current spatial planning and
policy development in the Netherlands
