Haringvliet Dam
The Haringvliet Dam is a significant dam located in the Netherlands, part of the Delta Works project designed to protect the country from flooding. Completed in 1971, it spans the Haringvliet estuary, connecting the islands of Goeree-Overflakkee and Voorne-Putten. The dam plays a crucial role in regulating water levels and improving navigation in the region.
In addition to its flood protection function, the Haringvliet Dam also contributes to ecological management. It helps maintain the balance of freshwater and saltwater in the surrounding areas, supporting local wildlife and habitats. The dam is a vital infrastructure element for both safety and environmental sustainability.
