Great video! Really interesting and engaging. I hope the Dutch come up with more solutions to rising sea levels, it would be devastating for the Netherlands and many economies connected to them if they where to permeate flood, and loose land they took from the sea.
I mean yah, since the Afsluitdijk/Flevoland was built, there hasn't been a single major flood. Which is pretty impressive, if you think about that this province was built out of a former sea, and is about 4/5 meter below sea level. They weren't kidding when they said the chance of it flooding was once in a few thousend/ten thousend years.
Right now the budget for operating, maintaining and improving is around 1 billion euro a year and will rise of course. Yet nobody is complaining about this as many know the personal and economic consequeses of a flood.

Rising sea levels mean rising river levels (so river dikes need to get higher) and also more salt water intrusion in the coastal ground water areas. More severe weather means increasing the drainage of everything. More periods of drought means lower river and groundwater levels, causing the peat to oxidate quicker, lowering the land even further. More and more severe storms mean the dunes get washed away and the dikes and other installations need to be stronger and higher.

there is already a plan but it is more a last resort type of plan it's called the northern european enclosure damm or NEED for short.
I realy like this sort of videos because I`m a duchman my self and I live in Hulst. I live at sea level so if one of the dijken flods I`m fucket.

How are the Netherlands affected by climate change?
To start they are mostly at or below sea level hence flooding and stormy conditions is a major concern for the Netherlands.
Rising sea levels mean rising river levels (so river dikes need to get higher) and also more salt water intrusion in the coastal ground water areas. More severe weather means increasing the drainage of everything. More periods of drought means lower river and groundwater levels, causing the peat to oxidate quicker, lowering the land even further. More and more severe storms mean the dunes get washed away and the dikes and other installations need to be stronger and higher.
Why on earth would you keep calling the Noeth East polder NO polder? That makes zero sense.
in dutch North East would be Noord Ooest NO comes from that and that is the name of it
@@ON-YT Amd not a single Dutch person would say that. It's a shorthand used on maps only.
