Chosing ‘a 2-D depth average numerical model using the software package Delft3D’ R. Vila Santamaria made a computersimulation of the streams of Bangladesh so that dry fall of off-takes and thus problematic droughts can be foreseen and prevented.

Being both river people, it so seems
the Dutch would share a lot with Bangladeshians
but while our rivers flow in tepid fashions
they have much wilder, untamed, fickle streams.
The Ganges and the Bramaputra flow
in ways that vary very, very much.
Compared to what we’re used to see, as Dutch
it is hard to understand and timely know
just when and where an offtake may fall dry
and how to halt a likely lethal drought.
Mere facts quickly grow obsolete, that’s why
computer simulations must help out.
So now potential lack we can foresee
because of 2-D depth in Delft3D.

Bauke Steenhuisen (universiteit docent bij de faculteit TBM) en Jeroen Manders (zanger, acteur, tekstschrijver, componist en voormalig IO student) verdichtten tussen december 2014 en maart 2017 42 keer een Delftse afstudeerscriptie of proefschrift tot een sonnet. Illustraties waren van Ella Nitters.
