Contributor Schiereck, G.J. (mentor) Van Roode, F.C. (mentor) Beaufort, G.A. (mentor) D' Angremond, K. (mentor) Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Hydraulic Engineering Date 1999-09-01 Abstract In 1944 because of the allied bombing of the island of Walcheren a number of dikes had breached and the island was flooded. The four breaches (Westkappelle, Nolle, Veere and Rammekens) were closed in 1944 and 1945 with a lot of improvisation. Also some caissons (phoenix caissons from the Mulberry harbours from the Normandy landings) were applied. The closing works were described in a novel by A. den Doolaard (het verjaagde water). With the computer program Duflow the closing is recalculated and in this study it has been investigated if the selected closing strategy was indeed the best one.
