    35 famous waterworks

    You can hardly imagine it now, but how do you calculate complex forces on large structures without a computer? In the past, people did this, among other things, by imitating reality. In the Waterloopbos in Noordoostpolder you will find the scale models of 35 famous waterworks. The Hydrodynamic laboratory carried out all kinds of tests here in the 1950s and 1960s. The Delta works have been tested here, as well as the ports of Rotterdam, Lagos, IJmuiden, Istanbul and Bangkok.

        The Waterloopbos in the Netherlands is an impressive forest area known for its historical importance as a model test site for hydraulic engineering. Today, nature has taken over here and Waterloopbos is now a national monument managed by Natuurmonumenten. A visit to the visitor center with a nice café is also worthwhile.
