Dutch Discover Treasure
on Floor of Zyder Zee
Van Roycn Discusses
Reclamation
Gold at the bottom of the sea
h.as always attracted adventurous
men who have risked their lives
to reclaim some of the pieces of
eight which lie on the ocean floor,
but the Dutch government is re
claiming more wealth from the
ocean in the form of farm land
than divers ever got from old ships
and treasure chests, according to
Dr. William Van Royen, geog
raphy department professor, who
recently returned from a summer's
visit to his homeland and other
European countries.
Dr. Van Royen, who left Lincoln
last June, attended the 15lh Inter
national Geographic congress at
Amsterdam as the official repre
sentative of the state and the uni
versity. Besides being the only
Nebraskan to attend, he also had
the honor of reading two papers
based upon studies he completed
here at the university.
When the delegates were taken
on a tour of the important places
of interest, Dr. Van Royen was
most iinpressed with the reclama
tion of 550,000 acres of land from
the bottom of the famous Zuyder
Zee. T!Js project, which will cost
approximately 60 million dollars.
Is being undertaken solely because
the Dutch need more agricultural
land. Previous experiments have
proved that the sea bottom is pro
" tluelive.
Six Months to Pump.
An idea of how great the task
Is can be obtained only alter real
iv.ing that it required more than
six months to pump the water
from the first area of 50.000 acres,
Farming in this area of the seat
bottom will he carried on as far
as 23 feet below sea level. The
d.'pth varies from this maximum
to as little as H feet below sea
level near the coast.
The first step in the work is to
build a huge earthen dyke around
the area to be farmed. The dyke
is made of tough glacial clay
mined in certain parts of the
ocean. Next the sea water and the
rain water that will collect
throughout the year must be
pumped out. After the water is
pumped from the sea bottom and
held out by the dykes, the brine
must be removed from the soil. In
order to facilitate the work drain
age ditches were dug before pump
ing operations began.
"The entire undertaking is un
der the supervision of the govern
ment, but the actual work is being
done by several large, privately
owned engineering firms," ex
plained Dr Van Royen. He went
on to say, "The government ex
pects to get back its money
through the sale and revenue of
these newly created farms which
aie sold to the highest bidder."
The size of the farms vary from
50 to 175 acres.
The university geographer was
also impressed with the meetings
of the congress. Fortv-four differ
ent countries were represented and
more than 1.000 geographers from
every corner ot the globe were on
hand to take part in the discus
sions. Due to the unsettled condi
tions in Europe, no definite site
has been chosen for the next meet
ing of the congress which will be
held in four years.
