Abstract
The reclamation of the new Markerwaard polder may have detrimental effects on the eastern part of the province of North Holland due to changes in the groundwater regime. An integrated study was organized to examine possible countermeasures. One of the most important goals of the study was the development of a methodology to forecast the geohydrological changes in the area, their influence on magnitude and rate of settlement of the subsoil and the probable damage caused by these geohydrological and geotechnical changes to buildings, infrastructure, agriculture and ecological aspects of the area.
A method was furthermore developed to compute the lay-out and the scale of magnitude of artificial groundwater recharge works to compensate for land subsidence in those parts of North Holland most susceptible to detrimental effects.
Main results and conclusions of the study and some remarks about recent developments, after this study was ended, will be given.
