Abstract
    Estuarine regions have always been important for human settlements and economic activities due to abundant resources. Throughout history, mankind has been altering estuarine systems by dredging and wetlands reclamation, among other things, with little understanding of the eects on tidal hydrodynamics. This MSc thesis focuses on the Scheldt estuary and investigates the main processes that drive changes in tidal hydrodynamics after wetland restoration. For this purpose, data analysis of field measurements in the Scheldt and a numerical 1D model study were performed. The data analysis of pre- and post-restoration of the Hedwige-Prosperpolder showed no observable changes in tidal hydrodynamics. A numerical model was used to provide a more mechanistic insight into the impacts of wetland restoration on tidal hydrodynamics.
