The main units of the analyzed landscape are the Meuse-terraces (sand landscape) and the Polder area. The focus in on the POLDER AREA and RIVERBANKS. The soils are mostly CLAY SOILS, while the LEVEE contains some SAND. The groundwater level in the POLDER area HIGH.

supra regional concept transportation, sluices reconstruction//modernization - in place, keeping the functions
The main navigation goes through the Zuid-WillemswaaTt (after its developement) and the MaasWaal canal. The river Meuse between Cuijk and Den Bosch is ‘unlocked’. The sluice and bridge in GRAVE will function as a bridge, the sluice replaced to CUIJK. The sluice in LITH is brought out of order. The construction used as social-communal or residential function.
replacement - new place with the same function, while the orig. construction with new function water system streams + waterways
unlocking - nature and recreational development, the orig. construction with new function

main problems, solutions open historical landscape CLIMATE CHANGE flooding//drought
retaining water increasing flood surface +groundwater fluctuation
FRAGMENTATION of natural areas//accessibility
expanding natural areas connecting by water
increasing absorption capacity equalize use by taking into new areas connecting by nature
UNSUITABLE USE OF RIVERBANK excessive recreational use//’unused’
The vision draws a future, where with estabilishing the structural elements given as a spinal core, the natural and human processes such as social, economic developments find their base. The focus areas where, at the same time a POI (point of interest), URBAN AREA and WATER SURFACE can be found or the establishment is awaited, based on the ongoing local processes (analysis). The main study area, the Lichtse Ham now a recreational area sorrounded by residental villages. With nature development the pressure of recreation can be balanced, while with new type of housing it can be flood-adaptive and more sustainable
