Abstract: This study includes some aspects of the shift in the Dutch attitude in relation to water during the past millennia from defense to attack to keeping the balance ("co-evolution"). It has a special focus on the freshwater tidal part, which embraces the largest seaport of the world: Rotterdam, as well as the largest national park of the Netherlands. It reports especially about a young mans endeavor in half a century real time monitoring of some land(scape) units with simple means.
