I wouldn't really consider "Ruimte voor de rivier" to be engineering nature in the way that's discussed in the article. Most of the projects were about removing human-made constraints on the rivers and giving it more land to flow freely.
- jacquesm 4y agoThat's literally what it means. "Space for the river". In the past NL tried to contain the rivers in smaller basins so there would be more land to build on, but this backfires when there is a lot of water at once (such as two years ago). It's engineering nature but this time in favor of nature, rather than in favor of the humans occupying the borders next to the rivers, which falls under 'watermanagement', which includes controlling the flow and the level of water throughout the country.
