In the 80's he stood as one of the founding fathers at the cradle of the storm surge barrier Measlandkering.
Maeslandkering: defending Holland from the sea Tuesdy 16 September, 14:40 - 15:25, Mees AuditoriumThe struggle against the water is tightly woven into the history and culture of the Netherlands. Planning for measures to protect the Dutch against the flooding requires insight into the strengths and weaknesses of polders and embankments and a the continuous evaluation of impact and costs of possible events. We are never done. The Maesland Kering is the latest major project finished to protect the southern parts of the Netherlands against storm surges. In this session, Jos Kuijpers of Rijkswaterstaat will talk about how sustainability in water management is pursued.
