  • Centenary of the Zuiderzee Act: a Masterpiece of Engineering
    NEWS Centenary of the Zuiderzee Act: a Masterpiece of Engineering The Dutch Zuiderzee Act came into force exactly 100 years ago today, on 14 June 1918. The Zuiderzee Act signalled the beginning of the works that continue to protect the heart of The Netherlands from the dangers and vagaries of the Zuiderzee, an inlet of the North Sea, to this day. This amazing feat of engineering and spatial planning was a key milestone in The Netherlands’ world-leading reputation for reclaiming land from the sea. Wim van Wegen, content manager at ‘GIM International’, was born, raised and still lives in the Noordoostpolder, one of the various polders that were constructed. He has written an article about the uniqueness of this area of reclaimed land. I was born at the bottom of the sea. Want to fact-check this? Just compare a pre-1940s map of the Netherlands to a more contemporary one. The old map shows an inlet of the North Sea, the Zuiderzee. The new one reveals large parts of the Zuiderzee having been turned into land, actually no longer part of the North Sea. In 1932, a 32km-long dam (the Afsluitdijk) was completed, separating the former Zuiderzee and the North Sea. This part of the sea was turned into a lake, the IJsselmeer (also known as Lake IJssel or Lake Yssel in English). Why 'polder' is a Dutch word The idea behind the construction of the Afsluitdijk was to defend areas against flooding, caused by the force of the open sea. The dam is part of the Zuiderzee Works, a man-made system of dams and dikes, land reclamation and water drainage works.

  • CHRISTOPHE VAN GERREWEY: ATTRACTING LIGHTNING LIKE a LIGHTNING ROD from ANTONY GORMLEY: EXPOSURE, the Municipality of Lelystad
    CHRISTOPHE VAN GERREWEY: ATTRACTING LIGHTNING LIKE A LIGHTNING ROD From ANTONY GORMLEY: EXPOSURE, The Municipality of Lelystad, The Netherlands, 2010 'The landscape disturbs my thought,' he said in a low voice. 'It makes my reflections sway like suspension bridges in a furious current.' - Franz Kafka [1] Yet another work of art graces the public space of the Netherlands - but maybe EXPOSURE by Antony Gormley is different to the rest? Its location certainly is a quintessential example of what we have come to understand as Dutch space: manmade, surrounded by water, flat, open, and with a horizon showing not even a hint of a wrinkle anywhere. EXPOSURE stands in a place that did not exist fifty years ago, a place that was unreachable then, at the bottom of the Zuiderzee, the former large sea inlet of the Netherlands. It stands at the end of a dam that stretches into the water, parallel to the coast of Lelystad, the capital of the newest province of the Netherlands: Flevoland. This province came into being in the middle of the twentieth century, as a result of a special form of territorial expansion: not war, annexation, trade or barter, but by the creation of the very ground, by reclaiming the land from the water. People have only been living in Lelystad since the late 1960s. In 1980 the settlement became a proper community and currently numbers 75,000 inhabitants. It is no coincidence that in a country where so much public space is created and designed by man, the events which are to take place in this said space are handled with similar efficiency, foresight and care.

  • 1 Typical Dutch Tutorial Afsluitdijk (Enclosuredam) the Afsluitdijk (Dutch Pronunciat
    Typical Dutch Tutorial http://matchthememory.com/ TypicalDutchNL2 Afsluitdijk (Enclosuredam) The Afsluitdijk (Dutch pronunciation: [ ˈɑf.slœyd. ˌdɛik], English: Enclosure Dam) is a major causeway in the Netherlands, constructed between 1927 and 1933 and running from Den Oever on Wieringen in North Holland province, to the village of Zurich in Friesland province, over a length of 32 kilometres (20 mi) and a width of 90 m, at an initial height of 7.25 m above sea-level. It is a fundamental part of the larger Zuiderzee Works, damming off the Zuiderzee, a salt water inlet of the North Sea, and turning it into the fresh water lake of the IJsselmeer. Beside the dike itself there was also the necessary construction of two complexes of shipping locks and discharge sluices at both ends of the dike. The complex at Den Oever includes the Stevin lock (named after Hendrik Stevin, a son of mathematician and engineer Simon Stevin) and three series of five sluices for discharging the IJsselmeer into the Wadden Sea; the other complex at Kornwerderzand is composed of the Lorentz locks (named after Hendrik Lorentz, the famous physicist, who personally did the calculations of the tides that were crucial to the construction of the Afsluitdijk) and two series of five sluices, making a total of 25 discharge sluices. It is necessary to routinely discharge water from the lake since it is continually fed by rivers and streams (most notably the IJssel river that gives its name to the lake) 1 and polders draining their water into the Ijsselmeer. Deltawerken (Delta works) For the past 2000 years, the inhabitants of the Netherlands have often had to cope with flood disasters.

These lecture notes may contain some mistakes. If you have any comments or suggestions that would improve a reprinted version, please send an email to [email protected]. When writing these notes, reference was made to the lecture notes ‘Polders’ by Prof. ir. J.L. Klein (1966) and ‘Polders and flood control’ by Prof. ir. R. Brouwer (1998), and to the books ‘Polders en Dijken’ by J. van de Kley and H.J. Zuidweg (1969), ‘Water management in Dutch polder areas’ by Prof. dr. ir. B.

Moreover, many figures, photos and tables collected over the years from different reports by various water boards have been included. For several of these it was impossible to track down the original sources. Therefore, the references for these figures are missing and we apologise for this. We hope that with these lecture notes we have succeeded in producing an orderly and accessible overview about the genesis and management of polders.

During the past months, I have found the particular niches of historical research that really suit my research interests. This thesis is neatly located in one of these niches. The courses, and particularly my internship at Rijkswaterstaat in the second half of 2019, aided me greatly in this process of academic self-exploration, and made this thesis possible.
