    Before there were 2 drawbridges with a lock between them. The road was a dam between 2 lakes. The lakes were at a different waterlevel, but with a small difference of 5 to 10 cm. They leveled both lakes to the same hight, created the aquaduct and removed the drawbridges and the lock, creating 1 connected big lake. The old road was very busy 1+1 lanes, the new one is 2+2 lanes. A big improvement for road and water traffic, water animals have the whole lake now, and there are some islands created for birds near the aquaduct as part of the project.

    I live quite close to this aquaduct, but I've never passed it. I use a road north of it to get into the Flevopolder.
    Harderwijk is very difficult for you to pronounce. I understand. In English it would be:
    Har- like in 'are' with an H,
    -der- like 'her' with a D and
    -wijk like 'wine' with a K at the end.

    This is just one of the many dutch Aqueducts. Just like Ecoducts, an expensive animal crossing

  • @ue4770
    @ue4770 3 роки тому +4

    An aspect behind the aqueduct is that the traffic along this waterway between the land and the Flevopolder is separated into boats with lower draft but no height restriction, that can pass over the aqueduct, and boats with higher draft but restricted height that pass underneath the bridge just half a kilometer to the northwest. Because of this, this solution avoids traffic interruptions as would be the case with a draw bridge, and is probably a lot more economic than having a high bridge that would allow sailboats to pass underneath.

      All infrastructure works are inspected regularly, and if needed maintenance will be performed.
      The Veluwemeer (Veluwe Lake) is water level controlled, and stays stable, if it rains we switch the pumps on.

    If the Netherlands wants to save its land then the Dutch government should plant as many native trees in their country as possible. The trees take water from the land and hold the land firmly by their roots. There is no better natural way than mangroves to save the land lost in the sea, and the Netherlands will have to import sand from Arab countries. At least one thousand tons of sand should be imported to the Netherlands every year in large ships and coconut trees should be planted on the shores of the Netherlands.
    (Suggestion from Pakistan)

    • @redditstories2750

      Palm trees wont work.
      Also. Im quite certain that there is not a single 'original' tree in the entirety of our country left. It is all planted haha.
      God created the earth, the Dutch the Netherlands :).
      Also, about that sand. You know those sand-structures in Dubai? The palm tree (haha) and stuff? And the famous Rio de Janeiro beach? (and so many other things)
      Guess who build those? ;)

    • @collectioneur
      @collectioneur 2 роки тому

      You're talking about trees that take water from the land and tons of sand, so you obviously don't understand that the ground has to stay wet to stay firm, or you'll get just that: loose sand

    • @ronaldv_tm
      @ronaldv_tm 4 місяці тому

      With major parts of our country consisting of peat, we need our soil to be wet, or it will rot away, lowering the fields even more. And don't worry, we're world leading when it comes to managing water. ☺

      I wonder what would happen in cases like that, I know that just a river by my place has its water height change drastically depending the year etc. So I just was curious how it works here. There was one year where an entire area was like dried up and desert and a different year it flooded so badly. I can only imagine how drastic a change from the ocean 😅
