#ResearchStrange story from my home country:
the deliberate flooding of a Dutch 'Polder' (famous Dutch land below sealevel)"The Dutch polder dilemma"
by Flavia Cosoveanu for Next Bluehttps://www.next.blue/the-dutch-polder-dilemma
Quotes:
"Depoldering of the Hedwige polder is a unique case. The Hedwige polder is in the south of The Netherlands at the border with Belgium. ..//.. Hedwige was depoldered or ‘given back to the sea’ in 2018 as a nature compensation measure because of the deepening of the Westerschelde channel for navigation and the expected accelerated sea level rise by 2100.""For researchers like me, Hedwige raises a lot of questions on the implications of depoldering: How will depoldering affect the multi-functionality of the larger polder landscape in future? How will climate change affect this changed polder landscape?"
