The lowest point in the Netherlands, the Alexander polder near Rotterdam, lies 20 feet below the sea. If you draw a straight line across the Netherlands from Hoek van Holland towards the German border, you will only find yourself above sea-level 40 miles inland. This fact has caused major problems in the past, one of the worst being the 1953 disaster, when during a severe storm the dikes broke and 1835 people drowned.
After this tragedy, various projects were started in bid to keep out the water. The largest and most impressive are the Delta Works, also referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World. The Delta Works consist of several movable barriers, locks and dams connecting the province of South Holland and the Zeeland islands. For an interesting insight into the project and the engineering work involved visit the website: www.deltawerken.com
