WHAT IS THE DELTA PLAN PROJECT IN NETHERLANDS?
The project was initiated in 1953 after the February 1st 1953 disaster where floods killed about 1800 people and destroyed 152,000 ha of rich agricultural land. This was a project to reclaim the southwest of Holland which has deep broad estuaries reaching farther inland. The Delta plan was aimed at providing closure by means of massive dams of four broad, deep sea inlets through Haring Vliet, Bronwershavensche Gent, Gawtern Scheldt and Veersche Gat.
