Retrospective Research on the 1945 Wierevgermeer Flood 8th Iiilenmtional Symposium on Lowland Technolog)' September 11-13, 2012 in Bali, Indonesia ACT OF DESPAIR OR FULL-FLEDGED EXPERIMENT: RETROSPECTIVE RESEARCH ON THE 1945 WIEREVGERMEER FLOOD O.A.C. Hoes R.W. Hut' and M. Boomgaard^ ABSTRACT: The present state-of-the-art in flood risk assessment focuses on breach models, flood propagation models, and economic modelling of flood damage. However, models need to be validated with real data to avoid erroneous conclusions. This reference data can either be historic data, or can be obtained fi'om controlled experiments. The inundation of the Wieringermeer polder in the Netherlands in April 1945 is one of the few examples for which sufficient historical information is available. The objective ofthis article is to compare the flood simulation behaviour using flood data from 1945. The context, the breach gi'owth process and the flood propagation are explained. Key fmdings for current flood risk management addresses the importance of the drainage canal network during the inundation of a polder, and the uncertainty that follows from not knowing the breach gi'owth parameters. This case study shows that historical floods provide valuable data for the validation of models and reveals lessons that are applicable in current day flood risk management.

  • 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.

We zullen moeten leren omgaan met grotere hoeveelheden water (zeespiegelstijging, grotere rivierafvoeren, extremere hoeveelheden neerslag), maar ook met grotere perioden van droogte. De zomer van 2018 staat wat dat betref nog vers in het geheugen. Beschikbaar zoet water is schaars op wereldschaal. Het meeste water op aarde is zout, en veel van het zoete water zit in gletsjers, of in de ondergrond. Slechts een klein deel is beschikbaar in meren en rivieren. Het IJsselmeer – inclusief Markermeer en Randmeren – is een grote regenton met kost- baar zoet water van prima kwaliteit voor een groot deel van Nederland. Het watersysteem functioneert nog goed, maar loopt wel op tegen de grenzen vanwege klimaatverandering. Door innovatie wegen naar de toekomst verkennen Het is verstandig om ons op die verandering voor te bereiden. Rijkswaterstaat verkent daarom samen met partners nu al mogelijke oplossingsrichtingen die ons in de toekomst kunnen helpen. Dat doen we door te innoveren en te zoeken naar vernieuwende manieren om met het water om te gaan.

  • Pioneering Spatial Planning in the 1930S
    BLOG Pioneering Spatial Planning in the 1930s 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). 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. But it was not only about protecting the Dutch against the threats of the sea; creating new agricultural land was another driving force behind this masterpiece. A third goal was to improve water management by creating a freshwater lake. 'Polder' is a Dutch word and this is no coincidence. There is an English saying: "God created the world but the Dutch created Holland". In 1930, the Wieringermeer was the first polder of the Zuiderzee Works that was drained, even before the construction of the Afsluitdijk was completed. The Noordoostpolder (North-East Polder) followed in 1942 and then in 1957 Eastern Flevoland and in 1968 Southern Flevoland. I was born in Emmeloord, the administrative centre of the Noordoostpolder, and grew up near a small village named Bant.

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. Schulz (1992), and ‘Man-made Lowlands’ by G.P. van der Ven (2003). 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. These notes will not be discussed page by page during the lectures, but will form part of the examination.

Hoewel dit rapport een beeld geeft van de veiligheid van dijkring 12 dient het niet te worden verward met een toetsrapport in het kader van de Waterwet. De in VNK2 berekende overstromingskansen laten zich niet zondermeer vergelijken met de wettelijk vastgelegde overschrijdingskansen van de waterstanden die de primaire waterkeringen veilig moeten kunnen keren. Door het consortium Albicom (Arcadis, Lievense, RPS, IV-infra) zijn de overstromingsberekeningen uitgevoerd die ten grondslag liggen aan de berekende gevolgen van de overstromingsscenario’s. De beheerders hebben een essentiële bijdrage geleverd door gegevens ter beschikking te stellen en de plausibiliteit van de opgestelde (alternatieve) schematisaties te bespreken. De uitgevoerde analyses zijn zowel intern als extern getoetst. Ten slotte zijn de resultaten besproken met het Expertise Netwerk Waterveiligheid (ENW) en heeft het ENW de kwaliteit van de analyses en rapportages steekproefsgewijs gecontroleerd. Graag wil ik alle betrokkenen bedanken voor de constructieve bijdrage en de plezierige samenwerking.
