Abstract： |
The beginning of human land reclamation can be traced to 13th century in the Netherlands, with one-fifth of its land obtained by reclamation. After the practice of reclamation for a long time, the land alteration has generated wide concern among the Dutch people over the ecological and landscape crises. To face this challenge, the Dutch government proposes to integrate water and land more effectively. This paper analyzes the policy shift in the Netherlands based on integrating water and land, and introduces its related efforts and measures, and then summarizes the successful experiences. The paper is expected to provide references for the
current development of land reclamation in China. |
