Abstract

Historically, socio-economic activities in the Netherlands have been mainly concentrated in the estuaries of the Rhine and Meuse rivers. The urban sprawl resulting from this activity is currently the home to a large share of the Dutch economic productivity, not to mention its population. In an area so close to the North Sea and with such socio-economic importance, coastal protection is a prime requirement. For centuries, the general principle of coastal protection in the Netherlands was building embankments to protect areas in danger of flooding from the sea.
