Based on the unique archival evidence produced by local water boards (wateringen), large landowners and local and regional authorities, Tim Soens argues for the occurrence of profound changes in coastal water management in the later Middle Ages. Water management gradually became less inclusive, investments lowered, and flood risk increased. This evolution was triggered by the social transition from a peasant society of land-owning smallholders to a society of absentee landlords and large tenant farmers.BelgiumbicsscFlemishbicsscc 1000 CE to c 1500bicsscc 1500 to c 1600bicsscFor emergent readers (adult)bicsscEuropean historybicsscEarly history: c 500 to c 1450/1500bicsscMaritime historybicsscElectronic books.BelgiumFlemishc 1000 CE to c 1500c 1500 to c 1600For emergent readers (adult)European historyEarly history: c 500 to c 1450/1500Maritime historySoens Tim962742UkMaJRU9910137018003321De spade in de dijk2183001UNINA
