The Deltaworks, ever lasting battle against the sea

1998
This site presents the Deltaworks--a system involving locks, sluices, channels, and other control methods to prevent flooding. Many people in the Netherlands believe it is the eighth wonder of the world. The site provides a great deal of information on the background of this project and explains how it was started because of a catastrophic flood on January 31, 1953. The information is presented in English and Dutch.
