  • "Climate change is threatening the Dutch people, their land, and their busy seaports. With half its land mass below sea level, the Netherlands is especially vulnerable to storm surges from the North Sea and flooding rivers. In the past, Dutch engineers have been very successful in reclaiming land and protecting lives. Can they prevail against rising water levels brought about by global warming?"
  • "Climate change is driving the North Sea to record levels and pushing rivers over their banks. Can the Dutch masters of the water engineer their way out?"
  • ""Watch as engineers reveal the inner-workings of a stunningly sophisticated series of barriers designed to keep the Dutch safe--and dry. Most of Holland is below sea level, and after centuries of devastating floods, the country has fought back against nature by building giant, computer-controlled dams to protect its people"--Container."
