Flood protection by an inflatable rubber dam: Balgstuw Ramspol

The IJssel delta was vulnerable to flooding. In the event of high water in the Ketelmeer and the rivers of the IJssel delta, combined with a storm from the north-west, there was a danger that water would flood over the dikes into the hinterland. An inflatable flexible membrane dam or 'rubber dam', the Balgstuw Ramspol, protects the hinterland of the IJssel delta against flooding.
