Four Dutch exchange students from the Agricultural University in Wageningen, the Netherlands, Hermke Helsper, Eja Praasterink, George Kievitsbosch, Gerard Schiphorst, studied the landscape of the IJsselmeerpolders in 1985 to begin the project. In 1986, the 2nd phase of the project, concentrating on the Columbia Basin Landscape Planning Project in Central Washington State, was undertaken in the U.S. by the four Dutch students in collaboration with two American students at WSU, Donna Hall and Charles Tucker. The four Dutch students reported the project in this report. Donna Hall also wrote a project report entitled Landscape planning in new agricultural areas: a comparative study of the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project (USA) and the IJsselmeerpolders (the Netherlands).
