At that time, reservoirs were constructed in the Biesbosch. The collected water went to the industry in the Botlek and to the Rotterdam drinking water company. The sand excavated in the Biesbosch was used for the construction of a new port and industrial area between Moerdijk and Klundert. Municipalities in the area wanted to create extra work for young people in the region. Port and industrial areas grew rapidly. More than half a century after the sand excavation, the Hollandsch Diep has a flourishing port of stature.
