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. 606 $aBelgium$2bicssc 606 $aFlemish$2bicssc 606 $ac 1000 CE to c 1500$2bicssc 606 $ac 1500 to c 1600$2bicssc 606 $aFor emergent readers (adult)$2bicssc 606 $aEuropean history$2bicssc 606 $aEarly history: c 500 to c 1450/1500$2bicssc 606 $aMaritime history$2bicssc 615 7$aBelgium 615 7$aFlemish 615 7$ac 1000 CE to c 1500 615 7$ac 1500 to c 1600 615 7$aFor emergent readers (adult) 615 7$aEuropean history 615 7$aEarly history: c 500 to c 1450/1500 615 7$aMaritime history 700 $aSoens$b Tim$01223059 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910563158203321 996 $aDe spade in de dijk$92837106 997 $aUNINA
