Aerial Noordwaard high tide 2020
Earlier i posted this drone shot (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/42514739985/in/photol...) from the Noordwaard. The Noordwaard is an area that has been reconstructed a few years ago as part of a large project in the Netherlands that is called Room for the River (www.ruimtevoorderivier.nl/english/). All large rivers and their floodplains have been excavated in order to store more water when there is a risk of over-flooding the cities that lie adjacent to the rivers. In case of the Noordwaard the waters get lower with 30 cm's.
Was the earlier picture taken in a very dry season, this is the result (for the first time in 5 years) with high waters. The system works perfect. I took the picture in almost the same position, only the sun was straight in the lens, and I admit I prefer the earlier shot. But it is nice to show both the two.
