Dutch hydraulic engineering through the eyes of a Swiss journalist

News - 04 March 2018 - Webmaster Hydraulic Engineering

Mid-January, in the middle of high water in the rivers and a one in twenty year storm event from the North Sea, the Swiss journalist Mathias Plüss visited The Netherlands for a one-week tour along Dutch highlights of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Management. As part of that, he also visited Delft University. His trip resulted in an article, well worth reading, with lots of personal observations on how The Netherlands deal with water. 

Unfortunately the article is only available in German. However, for translating complete documents google translate may offer a good solution.

The article appeared in the swiss magazine "Das Magazin' and can be found here
