What did it mean to organise a society sustainably in watery environments? And what happened when sustainable practices failed? How did societies cope with fickle waters? The history of water in the lowlands around the North Sea offers a case in point to think historically about resilience alongside sustainability. In this roundtable, four scholars reflect on the possibilities and limits of resilience as a concept through which to read the interactions of humans and the rest of the natural world.
