Info

Before human interference in the Delta of the 1300th-West Netherlands. the hydro-ecal0gioal relations +n the watexs of this Delta were taken very much far granted. As a result rzf the man-made changes, thbe natural relations disappeared. The constmction df the Delta Works completely altered the face of the Delta. Thie was not the first occasion on which the relations between the waters of the Delta had been affected. Take for example the construction of the Sloe Dam and Kreekrak I)rug in the latter half of the 19th ceatury, which resulted in the loss of the coneection between the Eastern aad Wsatern Scheldt. Nevertheless, the Delta ia its present fow ig largely the brainchild of hydraulic agineerr; of the lattez half of the present centuq. The origtnal Delta Project treated the Delta as a single entity, but purely from the point of view of safety and water control. At that time the integral approach of eool6giaal Interests had yet to be developadd Although ecological considerations have gained in impoltanoe over the years, the present compameutalizatlon ef the Delta is still to s great extent the product of the original Delta Project. The completion of the water management infrastmcrure of the Delta marks, for the tfm being at least, the end of an ere of major hydradie projects in the Delta. But while these works were being carried ant, a new era had already begun; one which centred on careful supervision apd ~esponsib-le managwent of the newly-created systems.
This approach will put to use what has been leaned about the hbaviour of compartmentallzed systems. If we respand to changes by making informed use of the scope for control and regulation presented by the Delta Works, we can develop these new systems to their full patential.
