Summary

[edit]
Description

Dutch/ English

Voor de inpoldering van de Biesbosch op het eiland van Dordrecht ten bate van landbouwgrond was het het leefgebied van de griendwerkers. Deze sneden wilgentenen, riet, biesen en hakten wilgenhout t.b.v. paaltjes e.d. Dit historische pandje ligt op een terp om het te beschermen tegen het getijde water. Een getijde verschil van 2 meter was geen uitzondering. Natte voeten dus! Het pandje is gelegen achter de Elshoeve, nu veilig achter de hoge Oostdijk langs de Nieuwe Merwede. Sedert de Deltawerken is er op de Nieuwe Merwede op deze hoogte,een getijde verschil, onder normale omstandigheden, van een halve meter. Wat hogerop waar de Dordtse Biesbosch, Sliedrechtse Biesbosch genoemd wordt. Het ligt wel op het eiland van Dordrecht maar ter hoogte van het dorp Sliedrecht, is het getijde verschil onder normale omstandigheden nog steeds één meter. Laat staan bij regenachtig weer. De stroming en onderstroming in de rivieren rond Dordrecht is dus door het niveau verschil best heftig te noemen. Zwemmen is daar dus een heel slecht idee.

For the reclamation of the Biesbosch on the island of Dordrecht for the benefit of agricultural land, it was the habitat of the osier workers. These cuts willow branches, reed, rushes and chopped willow wood for stakes and things like that. This historic building is on a mound to protect it against the tide water. A tide difference of 2 meters was no exception. Wet feet! The building is located behind the farm the Elshoeve, now safely behind the high Oostdike along the river the Nieuwe Merwede. Since the Delta works there is a tide difference on the Nieuwe Merwede at this location, of a half meter under normal circumstances. A little higher up the river where the Dordtse Biesbosch, Sliedrechtse Biesbosch is called. It is located on the island of Dordrecht but nearby the village of Sliedrecht, the tide difference is still one meter under normal circumstances. Think what happens on rainy days. The flow and underflow in the rivers around Dordrecht is therefore by the level difference quite violent. Swimming is therefore a very bad idea.
