  6. Netherlands (Holland) – A true Human-Environment story • Land Reclamation - growing population - need for land, 40% of the land was underwater • Polders - land reclaimed from the sea - created by dikes and dams - windmills were used to drain the land

  7. Zuider Zee • Part of the North Sea - dike system, turned a salt water body of water into a fresh water lake - massive project • created polders around the lake - more land reclaimed - system of channels direct water flows to the lake

  8. Venice: Queen of the Adriatic • Comprised of 120 islands and part of the mainland - 2 main islands – San Marco and Rialto, both separated by a large canal (Grand Canal) - about 150 total canals connect the islands • In the U.S., we use cars, in Venice, they use boats

  9. Venice starts as a swamp • Originally colonized by individuals fleeing an invasion - Germanic and Hun invaders • Islands were more like a lagoon - swamp areas - access to Adriatic Sea

  10. Venice: Current Problems Construction Issues Other Problems • Deforestation - use of trees to create pilings to build structures on (like a pier) • Degradation of wood materials • City is sinking - ground water pumped out - soft ground • Water Pollution - sewage, trash • Erosion of structures and pilings • Rising sea levels - heavy flooding • Agricultural Runoff - create algae blooms - cause fish kills

  11. European Problem: Deforestation • Continual problem throughout history - used for fuel - ship building and homes • Industrialization - used for steel furnaces prior to use of coal - demand for wood increased

  12. Acid Rain: Black Forest • Industry brought factories - increased pollution - sulfur in the air creates acid rain - destroyed forests in Germany • Affects felt in Scandinavia - climate change

  13. Pollution related problems: Similarities and differences

  14. TOTD: Human-Environment Interaction Which has had a greater impact, humans on the environment or the environment upon humans? Use what you have learned from Chapter 12, section 3 to explain your answer. Learning Scale Rating: Identify your level of understanding regarding today’s objectives on the 0-4 scale.
