Energy Dike
An energy dike is a water barrier that guarantees water management and water safety and also combines this with sustainable energy production. Electricity can be generated on the dividing line between fresh and salt water using SGP (salinity gradient power). But energy can also be produced from the flow of the water. These sustainable techniques, known as tidal and blue energy, can also be applied to energy dikes in other delta areas around the world.
