I have trouble squaring that with all of the Netherlands measuring only 41,543 km2, with rivers making up only a tiny fraction of that.
Perhaps conversion from 1,200,000,000 m2 was off by a factor of 1000, and they mean 1,200 km2 ?
- lowtechmagazine 5y agoThanks for spotting the mistake. km2 should be m2. Source: https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:1ed44c19-ee2a-450d-bc3c-6e377cae54ef?collection=research https://repository.tudelft.nl/islandora/object/uuid:1ed44c19... page 17
