Episode 73: Dutch wetlands: from Wadden Sea to garden pond (2)
Content
March 22 = world water day! It’s a day about water and climate change. And how the two are linked.
In a short series of several podcast episodes we’re talking about water. And this is part 2. Slighly off topic for Discutafel, since gardening is less prominent in this episode. Or is it?
- Dutch wetlands then and now
- lowland
- flood control
- creating new wetlands
And … a special appeal in response to the corona virus crisis.

Links
- world water day
- Extensive wetlands in The Netherlands (Statistics Netherlands)
- The flood of 1953
- Dutch water boards
- Marker Wadden project
Tip
Next episodes on wetlands & water will be online later in 2020. Stay tuned!
