So why, you might ask, are they being mentioned together here? The link can be found in the principles of Integrated Coastal Policy through Building with Nature, developed by Mr. Ronald Waterman. Mr. Waterman’s expertise in the fields of land reclamation and maritime infrastructure development is well known, and he has travelled the world as an adviser to various governments. In recognition of his leadership and insights in the development of modern water policies, this issue of Terra et Aqua is entirely devoted to his work. Mr. Waterman’s concepts represent a revolutionary departure from conventional wisdom. As was pointed out at a recent conference in Amsterdam by Ms. Ineke Bakker, Netherlands Director-General for Spatial Policy, “…in the past there was often a ‘war against water’, whereas recent policy has taken a new approach: ‘Go with the Flow’.
