Morphological development of Perkpolder tidal basin

Huidige versie van 7 jun 2016 om 13:43

Since the termination of the ferry service between Perkpolder (Zeeuws Vlaanderen) and Kruiningen in 2003 the area needed a new destination. In close cooperation with stakeholders a new plan was developed which combines, housing, recreation and the development of a salt march (www.perkpolder.nl). For the development of this salt march a freshwater agricultural area is now connected to the Western Scheldt, since July 2015.

The salt water from the Western Scheldt will flow through an opening in the dyke. The morphological dynamics of this inlet (or breach in the dyke) will depend on the flow velocity, size of the salt march area, tidal range and the present type of material (sand and clay). In this study you will monitor the development of the inlet, which will give Rijkswaterstaat important information concerning the stability of the dyke. Furthermore you will investigate the morphological development (height levels) of the Perkpolder basin, based on field measurements of sediment thickness, and sediment concentrations in the water column.
