Hydro-ecological relations in the Delta Waters
Hydro-ecological relations in the Delta Waters Hydro-ecological relations in the Delta Waters
Implementafion of the Delta Project has inLtiated a process of large scale changes in the tidal landscape. Generally these changos may be described in relation to the specific changes in tidal valme of the basins. The dimensions and rate of th. changes only partly have been foreseen the outset qf the Project. DetaiIed process studies over the last years have p~wvided =ore insight. &B a result of these studies adequate mam~ewatt wssures have been defined to stop erosion gf shoals and mudflats in the tideless baeins. A po1l.o~ plan incwrporating the developarents of tk ebb tldd deltas - the Voordelta - is fa preparation, The definitfon 0f adequate measuremeats to mwge developments of the tidal landscape fa the 0ooster- and Westers&d.de ie subject of study.
