    Wij kunnen alleen maar heel erg trotz zijn op de Nederlanders die dit mogelijk gemaakt hebben. Heel veel werk,sweet en tranen hangen er aan wat ik van mensen hoorde die er des tijds gewerkt hebben. Respect !

      Zeker een mooi stukje werk, op het hijsschip de Ostrea heb ik zelf mogen werken, die elektrische kabels waren een ander formaat kabels dan in de telefooncentrales die ik gewend was, ik heb nog mooie foto's van bovenop een van de twee hijstorens, leuke ervaring
      Certainly a nice piece of work, I was able to work on the hoisting vessel the Ostrea myself, those elektric cables were a different size of cables than in the telephone exchanges I was used to, I still have nice photos from on top of one of the two hoisting towers, nice experience

    Extremely minor niggle is that the N.O. polder is the North-East polder (Noord-Oost polder (dubble o's are pronounced "Oh" for if you ever want to risk your vocal cords pronouncing Dutch)).
    Full points for explaining the difference between the North East-polder and the Flevopolder. Well done.

      @@ON-YT Smart, we wouldn't want people without training, specialized equipment and medical personnel on standby try to pronounce Dutch, that could lead to catastrophic trauma to the poor victim's throat and vocal cords. 😜
      Most of us accept direct translations in English, we often do that ourselves for fun. The more literal the translation the better, especially if it pushes the term slightly out of context.

    Thank you for the informative video! It's great to see such a massive project explained in such a clear and easy to follow way. One thing I have to mention however is that with the current sea level rise of less than 10 mm per year (Per iccp projections, NOT measured) the Netherlands will be save for the coming 130 years due to the extreme overbuilding and "future proofing" the engineers did in the past. No one in the Netherlands is concerned about flooding, and they should know, right??

    There are four e-s in "Wieringermeer", and it was the second polder of the project. The first was the "Proefpolder Andijk", which was literally called "Proefpolder" - 'trial polder' - because this was the trial of the system.

    NO Polder, Noord Oost polder ( North - East ). The land not near water anymore dried out, giving problems. That's why the following polders had some water left between main land and polder.

    The Netherlands was lucky to have the income from coal mining in Limburg back in the 50's and 60's to fund Polderization and then the many Billions of guilders revenue from the Slochteren Gas Field to realize the Delta Project. One fact that few outside the Netherlands are aware of is that massive Pumps of the Zuider Zee type need to be kept running 24/24 to stop water seepage and eventual flooding.

      It was invested to protect our country, and we will do it again and again, but we're not so lucky anymore, still managing pretty well. Per capita we perform way better than the bigger countries in the world, without Gas Fields and Coal mining. A Frenchman once said: "God created the world, the Dutch created The Netherlands".
