Innovative Salt-Freshwater Separation System at the Krammer Locks, The Netherlands. Hydraulic Modelling to Balance Functional Requirements

Abstract This paper presents research on the impact of a plan to change the salt-fresh water separation system at the Krammer locks in the Netherlands. This lock complex forms the connection for inland navigation between the Eastern Scheldt estuary and the hinterland. The new salt-fresh system will include bubble screens at both lockheads and an additional flushing discharge through the lock chambers and a neighbouring flushing sluice. The interaction between water management, salt management, ecology requirements and navigational requirements has been accounted for with the aid of WANDA-Locks... Mehr ...
