Abstract

The reclamation of the Markerwaard polder will cause piezometric and phreatic drawdowns in the province of North Holland. The spatial pattern of the ultimate drawdown and ultimate changes by the reclamation in the ground water balance of the study area was calculated using numerical ground water models.
