Description
The Netherlands is the only country with a special service for water-state artography. This is due to the unique structure of the Dutch landscape. The fact that about half of our land is below sea level requires special management measures. The water state artography contributes to this with maps that provide an inventory of the water management infrastructure of the country.From around 1850 onwards, a systematic mapping of the Netherlands began.
The first edition of the Water Management Map of the Netherlands 1:50.000 was published from 1865 (Ormeling & Kraak, 1993, p. 229).
In principle, five editions of the water state map have been published. However, the number of editions varies considerably per map sheet. Of some chart sheets, only four editions have been published, from others six or even seven. In addition, there are already three editions of certain map sheets, while the second edition still had to be released from other map sheets.
The sheet layout has also been modified several times, based on the Topographic Service.
In the description of the five editions, the separate map sheet was the starting point.
This means that cards from the same year can appear in different editions.
