A plan to prevent flooding and ensure safety in the delta region in southwestern Netherlands. On the night of February 1, 1953, a storm caused the Rhine, Maas (Meuse) and Scheldt delta regions to burst their dikes, causing a major flood, resulting in extensive damage including 150,000 hectares of flooded land and 1,835 deaths. The Delta Commission, which was established immediately after the disaster, recommended that the islands in the delta region be closed off with dikes, leaving access to the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp. The Delta Act was passed in 1958, and the implementation of the plan and its budget were decided. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
オランダ南西部のデルタ地帯の洪水を防ぎ,安全を確保する計画。1953年2月1日夜の嵐で,ライン,マース(ムーズ),スヘルデ三大河のデルタ地帯は堤防の決壊による大洪水に襲われ,浸水地域15万ha,死者1835名など甚大な被害を受けた。被災直後設けられたデルタ委員会はロッテルダム,アントワープ両港への通路を残してデルタ地帯の島と島のあいだを堤防で締め切ることを勧告し,1958年デルタ法が可決され,計画の実施と予算が決定された。
