Abstract
In the spring of 2008, Delft University of Technology wrote a report for the Second Delta Committee, a body set up to advise the Dutch government and parliament on the Netherlands’ long-term flood risk policy. The Delft report included a colourful drawing of a solution for Rotterdam and the Drecht Cities, and the Delta Committee used this image to illustrate their ‘closable-but-open’ recommendation for the Rhine-Meuse estuary and explicitly recommended further research.
