The timeline presented at the time still applies, and we are very much on schedule. This DP2014 contains We have to protect more people and more economic the draft proposals for the Delta Decisions and the value now than we did 60 years ago, when the 1953 promising strategies for all the relevant areas in the flood disaster took many casualties and caused Delta Programme. Next year, DP2015 will contain the considerable damage. The climate is also changing, final proposal for the five cohesive and structuring with sea levels rising and soil subsiding: that has been Delta Decisions and the preferential strategies for measured over a number of years now. We want to be flood risk management and freshwater supplies in the ready for the future in good time. While we know Netherlands. After four years of intensive work on the what direction things are going, we do not know at Delta Programme by a host of stakeholders, this will what rate. The (revised) Delta Scenarios point to (four) provide the basis and framework for working on the possible futures, for which the Delta Programme has delta in the future. This work will be carried out drawn up a response. The massive floods in Austria, immediately after the projects which are currently the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland in June of ongoing along the coast, rivers and lakes and which this year underline the importance of a safe delta. will be finalised in the next few years. This allows us to avoid wasting any time and to already anticipate In the past, water policy was often drawn up in future developments. That’s what is happening in response to a disaster. Now we want to avoid any the new Flood Protection Programme (Hoogwater­ disasters, and, given the uncertainties, that requires beschermings programma (HWBP) in Dutch), for an adaptive and flexible approach. This is precisely instance, which can be regarded as the first new the approach the Delta Programme has gone for, in implementation programme of the Delta Programme terms of both flood risk management and freshwater and whose initial programming is clear from this supplies. Doing nothing or too little or responding DP2014. It is an enormous task. The programme office too late is risky and not the preferred option. Doing of the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water too much is inefficient.

This approach provides new will be retained and continued, modified to suit the insights, creates widespread support for the decisions next phase. A proposal to this end is being developed and measures to be taken later, and presents and will be worked out for DP2015.

Deze uitgave, samengesteld uit twaalf delen, biedt de meer dan gemiddeld geïnteresseerde, verhelderende kaartjes, duidelijke teksten en foto’s van de historisch- geografische regio’s van Nederland. Zo geeft het een compleet beeld van Nederland anno toen, nu en de tijd die daar tussen zit. De hoofdstukken over de deelgebieden/regio’s schetsen in het kort een karakteristiek per gebied. De cultuurhistorische blikvangers worden gepresenteerd. Voor de fijnproevers volgt hierna een nadere uiteenzetting. De ontwikkeling van het landschap, de bodem en het reliëf, en de bewoningsgeschiedenis worden in beeld gebracht. Het gaat over de ligging van dorpen en steden, de verkavelingsvormen in het agrarisch land, de loop van wegen, kanalen en spoorlijnen, dijkenpatronen, waterlopen, defensielinies met fortificaties.

  • The Quandary of Allied Logistics from D-Day to the Rhine
    THE QUANDARY OF ALLIED LOGISTICS FROM D-DAY TO THE RHINE By Parker Andrew Roberson November, 2018 Director: Dr. Wade G. Dudley Program in American History, Department of History This thesis analyzes the Allied campaign in Europe from the D-Day landings to the crossing of the Rhine to argue that, had American and British forces given the port of Antwerp priority over Operation Market Garden, the war may have ended sooner. This study analyzes the logistical system and the strategic decisions of the Allied forces in order to explore the possibility of a shortened European campaign. Three overall ideas are covered: logistics and the broad-front strategy, the importance of ports to military campaigns, and the consequences of the decisions of the Allied commanders at Antwerp. The analysis of these points will enforce the theory that, had Antwerp been given priority, the war in Europe may have ended sooner.

  • Introduction Day To
    The Groningen Highlands - 6 dagen DUTCH BIKETOURS - EMAIL: [email protected] - TELEPHONE +31 (0)24 3244712 - WWW.DUTCH-BIKETOURS.COM The Groningen Highlands 6 days, € 445 Introduction Groningen, the far north with endless views over swaying grain fields and fat clay forced into tight rows of potatoes, interrupted here and there by a tree-lined farmhouse. You can see the seawall from afar as a straight line on the horizon. Stately shelters and tiny workers' houses give a glimpse into the near past. Stiff folk but you can rely on it. Of course we also visit Pieterburen and the seals, but it is even better to see them in real life on the boat, on the way to fantastic Schiermonnikoog. First, the enormous diversity of birds and nature in the Lauwersmeer and the Wadden Sea. Day to Day Day 1 Arrival Groningen The afternoon and evening are there to discover the cycling city of Groningen, to sit on a terrace at the Vismarkt or to climb the Martini Tower for a fantastic view of the city. Day 2 Groningen - Uithuizen 54 km Today the 'borgen' route is on the program. Shortly after you have left the city, the landscape opens up. Wide views are interrupted by places such as Ten Boer, Stedum and the now famous Loppersum. Rusthoven is the first Borg but is not open due to earthquake damage, unlike Borg Ekenstein just before Appingedam. Then on towards the sea dyke, Roodeschool and the beautiful blue and white tower of Uithuizermeeden. In the last kilometers 2 beautiful Borgen, the Rensumaborg and the Menkemaborg with a nice terrace.
