The Delta works in the Dutch-Flemish Delta of the Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt are among the most iconic monuments of our country, in part because of the strong, defining image of the dams dan dikes. Striking, in particular, is the Eastern Scheldt Barrier, a wonder of the world, born from the desire to make the Delta safe after the North Sea flood of 1953. 

The New Delta presents an overview of a dozen programs with more than one hundred and fifty projects strewn across the area between land and water along the Dutch-Flemish Delta. What happened in the Delta of the Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt after the completion of the Delta works? Which trajectories, new developments and constants are there to be discovered amongst this generation of projects realied between the end of the first Delta program and the start of the second? These key questions answers Biane de Vlieger upon the invitaion of the Delft University of Technology end the HZ University of Applied Sciences, in cooperation with Rijkswaterstaat (Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management), Staatsbosbeheer (Forestry Commision) and the WWF (Wereld Natuur Fonds).
