Contributor Zitman, T.J. Van der Spek, A.J.F. Stive, M.J.F. Corporate name TU Delft Date 1949-01-01 Abstract The present paper, Eb- en vloedschaarsystemen in de Nederlandse getijwateren (Ebb- and floodchannel systems in the Dutch tidal waters), which was published in 1950, should be considered as Van Veens most important publication since his thesis. It summarizes the results of 20 years of intensive study of estuarine and tidal-basin morphodynamics in The Netherlands. The paper is testimony to Van Veens keen observational and artistic skills. His approach is nearly "Da Vincian" in the sense that he is not only a fascinated but also sharp observer of nature and tries to capture the essentials of the dynamic behavior of complex coastal systems in apparently simple sketches. Many of the natural systems that Van Veen studied have been regulated since; thus, this paper contains a set of irreplaceable, highquality observations on the natural dynamics of tidal systems. Along with Robinsons (1960) paper on ebb-flood channel systems, it forms an excellent introduction to the study of channel dynamics in estuaries, tidal inlets, and tidal basins.
