	Lorentz and the Zuiderzee project
		This project consisted in the transformation of an open sea (the Zuiderzee) into a closed lake (to be called the IJsselmeer), by means of a 30 km long dike (the Afsluitdijk).
		The Afsluitdijk would protect the Zuiderzee area from the flooding that occured regularly.
		(The catastrophic floods of 1916 had convinced the Dutch Parliament of its necessity.) But by closing off the Zuiderzee, the tidal movement in the Waddenzee, to the North of the Zuiderzee, would intensify and this might severly increase the risk of floods in that area.

	Zuider Zee
		The Zuider Zee (Dutch: Zuiderzee) was a former shallow inlet of the North Sea in the northwest of the Netherlands, extending about 100 km inland and at most 50 km wide, with an overall depth of about 4 to 5 meters and a coastline of about 300 km.
		In the 20th century the majority of the Zuiderzee was closed off from the North Sea (leaving the mouth of the inlet to become part of the Wadden Sea) and the salt water inlet changed into a fresh water lake called the IJsselmeer (IJssel-lake) after the river that drains into it.
		Contained within the Zuiderzee were four small islands, the remains of what were once larger islands or peninsulas connected to the mainland.

	Flevoland
		Located in the centre of the country, at the location of the former Zuiderzee, the province was established on January 1, 1986; the twelfth province of the country, with Lelystad as its capital.
		After a flood in 1916, it was decided that the Zuiderzee, an inland sea within the Netherlands, would be closed and reclaimed.
		Zeewolde became a municipality at the same time as Almere on January 1, 1984, which in the case of Zeewolde meant that the municipality existed before the town itself, with only farms in the surrounding land to be governed until the town started to grow.

		The concept of making the Zuiderzee more docile had first originated in the 17th century, but the ambitious solutions sought then were not possible given the technology of the time.
		The second half of the 19th century saw the emergence of the first feasible plans, with the primary objectives being improved protection from the open sea and the prospect of valuable new agricultural land.
		Opposition came primarily from fishermen along the Zuiderzee who would lose their livelihood, but also from other people living in coastal areas along the more northerly Wadden Sea, fearing higher water levels as a result of the closure, as well as those who doubted whether it was financially possible in the first place.

	Zuider Zee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Zuider Zee (pronounced [ˈzaɪdə(r) zeɪ], Dutch: Zuiderzee, pronounced [ˈzœydərzeː]) was a shallow inlet of the North Sea in the northwest of the Netherlands, extending about 100 km inland and at most 50 km wide, with an overall depth of about 4 to 5 meters and a coastline of about 300 km.
		The construction in the early 20th century of a large enclosing dam (the Afsluitdijk) tamed the Zuiderzee.
		With the completion of the Afsluitdijk in 1932, the Zuiderzee became the IJsselmeer, and large areas of water could be reclaimed for farming and housing.

		Schokland is a special place: as a symbol of the struggle against the sea, it stands for the history and culture of the Netherlands.
		For centuries, Schokland was a densely populated island in the Zuiderzee.
		In 1942 a large part of the former Zuiderzee was reclaimed, wich meant that Schokalnd ceased being an island and could be reached from all sides via the former sea floor.

		The new dams that were to be built had brought opposition from fishermen along the Zuiderzee who would lose their livelihood and other people who feared that higher water levels would result.
		The decision was made, however to enclose the Zuiderzee and create new land for agriculture and in June 1918 the project got under way.
		After the dike had been built, the Zuiderzee was changed from a dangerous shallow inlet of the North Sea into the tame IJsselmeer and created 1650 square kilometers of new land.

	Martijn and Sonja: Day Trip
		Upon completion of the Afsluitdijk (english: Enclosure Dam) in 1932, the Zuiderzee was separated from the sea and transformed into a freshwater lake, which was renamed IJsselmeer.
		This enclosure of the Zuiderzee brought irreversible change to a culture of traditional costumes and centuries-old crafts and to the rugged life of the fishermen in their daily struggle with the elements.
		This long and rich regional history is preserved in the Zuiderzee Museum, with the main attraction being the open air museum which effectively reconstructs a traditional Zuiderzee village as you would have found in centuries past.

		Most striking is the difference between the close-knit landscape of the former Zuiderzee shores and the image of the new rational polders with their long straight lines.
		By intensifying the contrast and diversity of the shores the landscape quality of the Afsluitdijk is strengthened, generating a single close-knit shorescape.
		The islands, premised on the former flow patterns of the Zuiderzee, are shaped by various land forms and water, the rugged and the gentle.

		In Enkhuizen, the Zuiderzee Museum (built to resemble a Zuiderzee town) offers a historically accurate presentation of the life and work of Zuiderzee fishermen.

		The massive scale of the project and the central control of government marks an extremely important period in land development in the Netherlands.
