When the Council of Europe asked member countries to nominate eminent geographers for the purpose of exchanging information and arriving at a better understanding of national images, which to some extend had become formalised in the various textbooks, a torrent of correspondence was received, which the above. Centre dealt with as best it could. The correspondence revealed a need for a brief summary of the geography of the Netherlands. Geography is taught differently in different countries and more periods are devoted to gedgraphy in one country than in another. For this reason, it seemed best to use a typically Dutch method and let readers make their own selection. So great was the demand for the booklet that a reprint was necessary after only two years. The opportunity was taken to rearrange the book and bring the statistical data up to date. It is still possible, of course, that, in view of differing international needs, the material may appear to some to be too copious, to others inadequate. The booklet is also intended to be used in conjunction with the school map of the Netherlands and is meant for geography students, secondary school teachers and teachers in the upper classes of primary schools. Further information, documentation and bibliographical references are obtainable from the Information and Documentation Centre for theGeography of the Netherlands, State University, Heidelberg laan 2, Utrecht, or from the Netherlands Embassy in your country. Writers of textbooks abroad may reproduce the maps, etc. in the booklet, provided that the source is acknowledged. Application for photographs to illustrate such books can be made to the Information and Documentation Centre or to the Netherlands Embassy, where a selection may be made from a modest collection of contact prints. Finally, the compilers of the booklet wish to express their thanks to the staff of the Central Statistical Office in The Hague for their generous assistance in the production of the present revised edition.

  • 100 Jaar Zuiderzeewet
    100 jaar Zuiderzeewet In 2018 wordt in het IJsselmeergebied met tal van activiteiten het feit herdacht dat honderd jaar geleden de Zuiderzeewet werd afgekondigd. In die evenementen staan niet alleen de totstandkoming van die wet centraal, maar ook de uitvoering ervan - bekend onder de naam Zuiderzeeproject - en de toekomstige ontwikkelingen inzake de Afsluitdijk, de IJsselmeerpolders, het IJsselmeer en het Markermeer. Ook Genootschap Flevo, in 1938 opgericht om wetenschappelijk onderzoek in het nieuw gewonnen land te ondersteunen, maar thans vooral een platform voor debat over actuele vraagstukken, draagt met zijn jaarprogramma bij aan de 'viering' van het eeuwfeest van de Zuiderzeewet. Met een twaalfdelige reeks artikelen op de website www.genootschapflevo.nl worden uiteenlopende aspecten van het Zuiderzeeproject in de schijnwerpers geplaatst. Daarmee onderstreept Genootschap Flevo dat de leden kennisdeling en kritische beschouwing hoog in het vaandel hebben staan. De bijdragen, die iedere maand rond de vijftiende gepubliceerd zullen worden onder de knop ‘Nieuws / Nieuwsberichten’, zijn geschreven door André Geurts, secretaris van Genootschap Flevo, historicus van professie en conservator bij Batavialand in Lelystad. De bijdragen worden in dit groeidocument verzameld. De januari-bijdrage (pp. 4-6): Niet drie-, maar viermaal is scheepsrecht Dit artikel is gewijd aan de wetsontwerpen die aan de afkondiging van de Zuiderzeewet van 1918 vooraf zijn gegaan. De februari-bijdrage (pp. 7-9): Het Plan-Lely Dit artikel is gewijd aan het plan dat ir. Cornelis Lely omstreeks 1890 in opdracht van de Zuiderzeevereeniging maakte voor de afsluiting en gedeeltelijke inpoldering van de Zuiderzee. Dit plan vormde de basis van de Zuiderzeewet van 1918.

  • 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.

  • 'Die Groote Leegte' 150 Jaar Toekomst Van Het Markermeer
    ‘Die groote leegte’ 150 jaar toekomst van het Markermeer Over de inhoud van een nieuwe expositie Wie de kaart van Nederland bekijkt, ontdekt nauwelijks plaatsen die niet op een of andere manier door mensen in beslag worden genomen. Met een bevolking van ruim 16 miljoen en een landoppervlak van 35.000 vierkante kilometer is een intensief ruimtegebruik niet zo vreemd. Elke verandering in dat gebruik heeft grote gevolgen voor onze leefomgeving. Alleen daar waar grootschalige wateroppervlakten te vinden zijn, lijken zich nog ontplooiingsmogelijkheden voor te doen. Het Markermeer, dat bij Nieuw Land Erfgoedcentrum voor de deur ligt, is één van de weinige ‘lege’ gebieden dat nog nieuwe kansen biedt voor de bouw van woningen en wegen, de aanleg van recreatiegebieden, de stimulering van natuurontwikkeling, het creëren van landbouwgronden, de opslag van overtollig water of de berging van vervuild slib. Het is echter ook één van de weinige territoria in Nederland waar de grootschalige openheid mogelijkheden biedt aan bepaalde vormen van waterrecreatie en visserij. Evenzeer kan er ruimte worden gereserveerd voor bestemmingen die op dit moment nog niet actueel zijn. Het denken over de mogelijkheden die het Markermeer biedt, is niet nieuw. Al ruim anderhalve eeuw wordt er over de ruimtelijke invulling van dit grote water gediscussieerd. Honderden plannen, De Zuiderzee in 1866 onderzoeksverslagen, foto’s en ander documentatiemateriaal getuigen daarvan. Voor- en tegenstanders van polderaanleg in het Markermeer hebben regelmatig en soms heftig van zich laten horen. Een polder is er niet gekomen, maar tot op de dag van vandaag duurt het debat over de meest wenselijke functie(s) en inrichting van het gebied voort.

  • Governance & Building with Nature
    Governance & Building with Nature A MIPA- and governance study about the Marker Wadden project Folkert Volbeda MSC thesis Wur Governance & Building with Nature A MIPA- and governance study about the Marker Wadden project F. (Folkert) Volbeda MSc Climate Studies MSc Forest and Nature Conservation Registration code: 911013901070 Under the supervision of Prof.dr.ir. J.P.M. (Jan) van Tatenhove Environment Policy Group Wageningen University The Netherlands Summary Over the years a new approach for developing water-related infrastructure projects emerged in the Netherland called the Building with Nature (BwN) programme. Both economic factors as well as ecological and societal factors are stressed within this approach through the adoption and integration of insights from civil engineering, natural and social sciences. However, this new and innovative approach is associated with several uncertainties, one of which is the governance context. Although the concept of governance is often promoted as deliberative tool, due to its ambiguous character can also be referred to as an hierarchical and technocratic approach. A project in which this governance context is important to consider is the Marker Wadden. Here, a plurality of public and private actors engaged in the development of an archipelago of islands in the Dutch lake the Markermeer. By adopting a theoretical framework based on a MIPA approach and governance theory, this thesis set out to investigate how the governance perspective of the BwN approach enabled or constrained deliberative project development in the Marker Wadden. The thesis adopted a single case study design in which data was collected and analysed through document analysis, semi-structured expert based interviews and a visit to the project site.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Hoes Professor N.C. van de Giesen Delft University of Technology Artikelnummer 06917300084 These lecture notes are part of the course entitled ‘Polders’ given in the academic year 2014-2015 by the Water Resources Section of the faculty of Civil Engineering, Delft University of Technology. 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.

Louis Tardy, Honorary Director of the Caisse nationale de Crédit agricole, Paris. 116 pages 2/6 S 0.6e An enquiry into the organisation and working of the principal credit and savings establishments which have relations with agriculture; and the agricultural 'insurance and co-operative organisations was used as a basis for M. Tardy’s Report, which is accompanied by a number of brief monographs relating to the working of agricultural credit in about forty countries. In the conclusions to his report M.

Not merely a work of reference but also a document in which even experts can learn what is being done in other countries than their own. Written in a style which is readily comprehensible to the ordinary man or woman, this study is of interest not only to those directly con­ cerned with the problem of nutrition but to the general public of the various countries covered.
