Flood control in the Netherlands - Alchetron, the free social encyclopedia

The Netherlands has 249 kilometers of flood defences, including dunes, dikes and dams, 93 lock complexes (with 153 locks), 17 pumping stations, 10 barrages and five storm surge barriers. These structures protect large areas of the Netherlands against flooding. The video I took is only one of the many defenses the Dutch created. Indeed a marvel of engineering and commitment to protect their country. Sana tularan ang kagalingan na yan at wag nakawin ng mga mandarambong ang budgets na nilaan. #Floo

The biggest flood control systems are the Delta Works in the Netherlands, a massive network of storm surge barriers, dams, and dikes protecting a large area from the sea, and the G-Cans Project (Metropolitan Area Outer Discharge Channel) in Tokyo, Japan, the world's largest underground facility for diverting and storing floodwaters. Other major structures include the Mississippi levees in the United States and the Thames Barrier in London. #reels #fypシ #reel #virals #everyone #trending #follower
