Pandemic: Rising Tide, You and Your Fellow Players Are Dutch Civil Officials Trying to Keep the Ever- Encroaching Waters at Bay A game by Matt Leacock and Jeroen Doumen TM A cooperative game for 2–5 players, ages 8 and up. 45-60 minutes. Flooding from North Sea storms and overflowing rivers constantly endanger the Netherlands. With one quarter of its land reclaimed from the sea—or below sea level—the Dutch have long depended on dikes and wind-powered pumps (windmills) to keep them safe. Now, as their population expands with the dawn of the Industrial Age, it is up to you to build the needed canals, dams, and delta works to protect them from the rising tide. OVERVIEW In Pandemic: Rising Tide, you and your fellow players are Dutch civil officials trying to keep the ever- encroaching waters at bay. Can you control the water flow long enough to build the modern hydraulic structures that will help you defend against the flood? Pandemic: Rising Tide is a cooperative game. The players all win or lose together. The goal is to construct 4 modern hydraulic structures to defend against floods. The players lose if: • not enough water cubes are left when needed (the flooding is too widespread), or, • not enough Player cards are left when needed (your team runs out of time). Each player has a specific role with special abilities to improve your team’s chances. Once you are familiar with the game, alternative objectives are included for greater variety and challenge.

These are seas. Water cubes are used to determine how much water flows into the regions (land spaces) of the board, and the number of water cubes in the seas increases as the sea level rises. Place the indicated number of water cubes into the following regions (all bordering the Zuiderzee): • 1 cube in Wieringermeer • 2 cubes in Markerwaard • 2 cubes in Flevoland • 2 cubes in Noordoostpolder Note: These regions have 1 or 2 below their names as setup reminders. 3 DEGRADE REGIONS Shuffle the Dike Failure cards. Flip over 3 of them. For each card, degrade the matching region 3 times. To degrade a region, remove a dike from it. Dikes bordering two regions belong to both of those regions. If there are multiple dikes in the region, collectively decide which 1 to remove. If there is no dike in the region, add 1 water cube instead, to a maximum of 3 water cubes in a region. During setup only, attempting to place more than 3 water cubes in a region has no effect. Example: Bianca draws 3 cards and degrades each card’s region 3 times.

  • 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.

  • 1 the DUTCH DELTA MODEL for POLICY ANALYSIS on FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT in the NETHERLANDS R.M. Slomp1, J.P. De Waal2, E.F.W. Ruijg
    THE DUTCH DELTA MODEL FOR POLICY ANALYSIS ON FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE NETHERLANDS R.M. Slomp1, J.P. de Waal2, E.F.W. Ruijgh2, T. Kroon1, E. Snippen2, J.S.L.J. van Alphen3 1. Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment / Rijkswaterstaat 2. Deltares 3. Staff Delta Programme Commissioner ABSTRACT The Netherlands is located in a delta where the rivers Rhine, Meuse, Scheldt and Eems drain into the North Sea. Over the centuries floods have been caused by high river discharges, storms, and ice dams. In view of the changing climate the probability of flooding is expected to increase. Moreover, as the socio- economic developments in the Netherlands lead to further growth of private and public property, the possible damage as a result of flooding is likely to increase even more. The increasing flood risk has led the government to act, even though the Netherlands has not had a major flood since 1953. An integrated policy analysis study has been launched by the government called the Dutch Delta Programme. The Delta model is the integrated and consistent set of models to support long-term analyses of the various decisions in the Delta Programme. The programme covers the Netherlands, and includes flood risk analysis and water supply studies. This means the Delta model includes models for flood risk management as well as fresh water supply. In this paper we will discuss the models for flood risk management. The issues tackled were: consistent climate change scenarios for all water systems, consistent measures over the water systems, choice of the same proxies to evaluate flood probabilities and the reduction of computation and analysis time.

  • Kromme Rijn Area Fact Sheet
    Fact sheet: Kromme Rijn area ABOUT THE AREA The Kromme Rijn region is located in Central Netherlands. The Kromme Rijn area (219 km2, 86.090 inhabitants) is a dynamic area that is characterized by a cultural landscape with differences in scale, openness and relief. The name of the area refers to a 28 km long river that flows through the area, which is a former branch of the river Rhine. The fluvial deposits of the river have strongly influenced the current land use pattern, as fruit orchards are established on the sandy and clay levee deposits of the former riverbed. Fruit cultivation (e.g. apples, pears and cherry) is a financially important sector, which is currently expanding. Fruit cultivation takes place in both high-stem and modern orchards and the sector currently consists of 109 farms (1200 ha). A second important agricultural sector is dairy farming, which mainly takes place on lower lying grassland areas (reclaimed back swamps). The area has 234 dairy farms (7496 ha), with an unknown area of grassland also used for feeds. Arable land plays a minor role, with cereals (27 ha) and vegeta- bles (1 ha). There is only limited forestry in the area, but the ash-coppice and willow-coppice forests are characteristic for the area. These types of forests were established for wood production during the Middle Ages. RECREATION IN THE AREA* RECREATIONISTS’ PROFILE** Average age 1.766.895 55 years That is how many (short-term) recreationists Visit: anually visit the Kromme Rijn area according Length of stay: 2-3 hours (36%), entire day (27%); to recent calculations.

  • Tussen Rijn En Lek 1981 3
    Tussen Rijn en Lek 1981 3. - Dl.15 3 - 3 - In waterstaatkundig opzicht had hij geen enkel belang noch bij hetbestaan noch bij het verdwijnen van de dam en het is de vraag of ookde graaf van Gelre zoveel baat zou hebben gehad bij een eventuele ver-wijdering, laat staan de graaf van Kleef. Het is niet onmogelijk, dat degraaf van Holland de graven van Gelre en Kleef er bij betrokken heeftom het geschil bewust te laten eskaleren. De enige, die er belang bijhad, dat de dam bij Wijk in stand bleef, was de bisschop van Utrecht.De graaf van Holland hoopte ongetwijfeld dat de bisschop toegeeflij-ker zou worden ten aanzien van het bestaan van de Zwammerdam,wanneer hij zelf het risico zou lopen, dat de afdamming van de Krom-me Rijn ongedaan zou moeten worden gemaakt op grond van dezelfdeargumenten als die, welke hij aanvoerde tegen de Zwammerdam.Te stellen dat de bisschop belang had bij de dam in de Kromme Rijn iseen voorbarig antwoord op de vraag naar het waarom van de afdam-ming. Een antwoord, dat overigens al door de oorkonde van 1165wordt gesuggereerd, waar als reden wordt opgegeven: bevrijding vanwateroverlast. Omdat dit antwoord gemakkelijker te preciseren valt alswij over meer gegevens van chronologische aard beschikken, is hetdienstig het leggen van de dam eerst wat nader in de tijd te situeren. Hetenige chronologische gegeven, dat de oorkonde van 1165 biedt, is datde dam antiquitus facta est. Hij lag er in 1165 vanouds, sinds mensen-heugenis; de toen levende generatie wist niet anders. Voorlopig kunnenwij het leggen van de dam dus dateren ten laatste in het eerste kwart vande 12e eeuw.

  • Silt in the Markermeer/Ijmeer
    Silt in the Markermeer/IJmeer A study on the effectivity and efficiency of proposed approaches concerning the deterioration of the lake and its surroundings Student: Iris van Gogh (3220052) Environmental biology Ecology and Natural Resources Management Supervisor: Dr. J.N.M. Dekker Energy and Resources Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University December, 2012 Preface Since I was born in Lelystad, the capital of the county Flevoland in the Middle of the Netherlands, I lived near the Markermeer for about 18 years of my life. I still remember the time being on an airplane and my dad showing me the Markermeer and IJsselmeer below us. The difference in color (blue for the IJsselmeer, while green/brown for the Markermeer) was enormous, and I know now, this is mainly caused by the high amount of silt in the Markermeer. A couple of years later I was, again due to my father, at an information day about water, distributing ‘dropjes’, a typical Dutch candy, wearing a suit looking like a water drop, named ‘Droppie Water’. I think it were those two moments that raised my interest for water and even though I was not aware of it at that time, I never got rid of it. Thanks to the Master track ‘Ecology and Natural Resources Management’ which I started in 2011, my interest for water was raised once, or actually thrice, again. After my first internship, which was about seed dispersal via lowland streams and arranging my second internship about heavily modified water bodies in Sweden (which I planned for the period between half of December 2012 and the end of July 2013) I wanted to specialize this master track in the direction of water.

  • Medieval Castles in the Dutch Central River Area: Towers of Power?
    Medieval castles in the Dutch central river Area: Towers of power? by JAN VAN DOESBURG, Amersfoort Introduction Castles were amongst the most dominating features of the European medieval landscape, especially in those parts which are relatively flat such as the Netherlands, where they were visible from many miles away. In the Middle Ages the Dutch landscape was dotted with castles of different shapes and sizes. A rough estimate indicates that there must have been least 2500 medieval castles, of which about a quarter still exist today. Castles were however not evenly distributed. There were regional differences in the number of castles. The provinces of Noord Brabant, Friesland and Guelders had in the Middle Ages for example hundreds of castles.1 On the other hand the number of castles in the provinces of Drenthe and Noord Holland were fairly limited. The same goes for the distribution of certain types of castles, such as mottes. In some areas, such as the provinces Friesland, Zeeland, Limburg and parts of South Holland, they are abundant while in others like Utrecht, Noord Brabant and Drenthe they are relatively scarce (figure 1). In some areas large-scale reclamations coincide with the construction of numerous castles. This is especially the case in areas in the province of Utrecht. This leads one to consider if there is a possible connection between the two. It is also unclear why so many castles were built in reclamation areas in Utrecht whereas this was not the case in other similar areas in the rest of the Netherlands? 1 H. L.

  • Living with Rivers Netherland Plain Polder Farmers' Migration to and Through the River Flatlands of the States of New York and New Jersey Part I
    Living with Rivers Netherland Plain Polder Farmers' Migration to and through the River Flatlands of the states of New York and New Jersey Part I 1 Foreword Esopus, Kinderhook, Mahwah, the summer of 2013 showed my wife and me US farms linked to 1700s. The key? The founding dates of the Dutch Reformed Churches. We followed the trail of the descendants of the farmers from the Netherlands plain. An exci- ting entrance into a world of historic heritage with a distinct Dutch flavor followed, not mentioned in the tourist brochures. Could I replicate this experience in the Netherlands by setting out an itinerary along the family names mentioned in the early documents in New Netherlands? This particular key opened a door to the iconic world of rectangular plots cultivated a thousand year ago. The trail led to the first stone farms laid out in ribbons along canals and dikes, as they started to be built around the turn of the 15th to the 16th century. The old villages mostly on higher grounds, on cross roads, the oldest churches. As a sideline in a bit of fieldwork around the émigré villages, family names literally fell into place like Koeymans and van de Water in Schoonrewoerd or Cool in Vianen, or ten Eyck in Huinen. Some place names also fell into place, like Bern or Kortgericht, not Swiss, not Belgian, but Dutch situated in the Netherlands plain. The plain part of a centuries old network, as landscaped in the historic bishopric of Utrecht, where Gelder Valley polder villages like Huinen, Hell, Voorthuizen and Wekerom were part of.

  • 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.
