Fig. 2From: Institute of hydraulic engineering and water resources management (RWTH Aachen University): an overview of research focus and trainingConstruction work on a physical model of Havel polder. A base frame with a length of 34 m and width of 11 m is set up with concrete building blocks to form a basin; afterwards, a model dike with a breach will be constructed inside. Flooding this structure will give insight into the filling characteristics, so that constructional measures for an intended filling of the polder can be concludedBack to article page
