| 摘要： | The Maasroute project, in the South-Eastern part of the Netherlands, is one of the largest inland waterway projects in the Netherlands of the last decades. Over 200 kilometres of waterway will be upgraded within the next years, to certify the important role of the River Maas as a hinterland connection for the Deltaports as Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Antwerp. The real challenge in this project however is the fact that it is only one of three projects regarding River Maas. At the same time and place two other projects, Zandmaas and Grensmaas, will take place. Their objectives are the development of flood protection and ecological structures. The three projects have been brought together within one project organization, being the largest hydraulic engineering project in the Netherlands since the Delta Works. When three projects are combined in one area, integrated management seems the only way to achieve success, especially when projects are politically and socially loaded as in this case. The inland waterway project, Maasroute, a waterway with a total length of over 200 kilometres, first came to the surface in the early nineties. Its main objective is to increase the vessel dimensions that can travel on the River Maas and its canals from lengths of 135 metres up to 190 metres and draughts from 3,0 to 3,5 metres. Interactions with Grensmaas and Zandmaas take place in the form of transport interactions, due to the large amounts of sand and gravel being transported over the Maasroute, during the upgrading works. An important problem of the Zandmaas project were the necessary water level raisings. Due to interaction with the Maasroute, changing the intended works from lengthening a lock to the reconstruction and deepening of an old, but larger lock, resulted in lower water level raisings and higher public support for the projects. However, integrated management has both pros and cons. All projects should be handeled on a same level of interest, and one should never forget that absolute integrated management is never possible in a highcrowded country like the Netherlands. Although in this case several project goals were integrated, others like recreation, professional fishing, safety and living, where of much less interest during the project planning, thus making it not a real integrated project. However is was difficult enough to integrate the project goals that were dealt with. |
