I believe it started with Terpen (plural of Terp), which are houses on hills, in case the land floods. It was kinda annoying for the farmers to get the animals onto the Terp every time it started to storm, so they build walls around their land so that the water wouldn't flood the land. And if you can do it with land that only temporarily floods... why not with land that's permanently flooded? Also building walls between Terpen makes for a path to reach your neighbours when they might be in need during a flood.

We are on a 70 year winning streak, the ocean is not a worthy opponent. We need to look elsewhere. Also the projected sea level increases is only what? Like 1 meter this century? That's nothing, we would not even have to change anything. We started to prepare for the 1 in 10.000 year storm, what else could we do. The ocean has to increase its game

Tenochtitlan es como Venecia, comenzó con Islas y se canalizó y rellenó pero era un solo cuerpo de agua con espacio finíto. No es lo mismo que se habla acá, al drenar el lago de Texcoco ya "se pudo concretar el proyecto" (énfasis en las comillas); el mar y los vientos de Holanda son una cosa constante que lleva mas de 500 años bajo control a punta de ingeniería hídrica de la mas alta complejidad.El mar nunca va a parar de erosionar o tratar de reclamar esta tierra.

I’m here in Amsterdam and looking up on KZread and one of my favourite KZreadrs has done this film thanks Johnny Harris now I get what’s going on here

Such informative work 👏

6:50 actually only a relative small part of our coast looks like that. Most is beaches with dunes, some dunes do get extra sand to build them up or foundations. But our coast is mostly soft and partially hard coast.

A few years ago I was in Zeeland with my school. There is a village where they have a glass cylinder filled with water that is directly connected to the ocean. So you're standing in the middle of the village and you can actually see how low under the water level you are.

In my neighbourhood thereused to be multiple playground with water pumps where me and my friend would just build dams and dijks to try to keep the water away and it was one of my favorite childhood memories. It also shows how deeply its integrated in our culture

I learned stuff, and you keep helping me learn more Mr. Johnny. Thank you 😊

You should've absolutely talked about the delta works, they're almost as impressive as Flevoland. And if you make a follow-up video, be sure to include 1953 as a big part of it. It really sparked the modernization of water management.

Thank You so much for the great videos. Love your channel.

Nice! Good information!! Love the Netherlands!!

3:45 that background music is "Good Morning" by Laxcity .. listened to it on my headphones while I was in The British Museum in London. Magical.

I`m Dutch and I really love this video. I`ve been intrigued bij the Deltaworks for a while and even though we've learned about this in school, it`s never looked as appealing as it does now. Really want to go to a museum about this stuff right now and learn more. Great video

dude, amazing video! I linked it after my last one when I visited Amsterdam.

Very good video. Thank you for sharing.

im going to amsterdam soon and I'm so excited to make a travel vlog inspired by your style! As a solo female traveler its a little harder to film but I'm still learning, your videos give me so many ideas!

I have been to Amsterdam and those canals are just at another level. Now i know how they came about, plus the whole bike culture. Great video!

Just as a heads up.. The shot with "amstel" and "Amsterdam" That is the "het ij" and separates the Northside from the rest of the city.. The actual "Amstel" is the body of water that runs troughout the city.. Ending up in "het ij" eventually

0:40 it's truly a wonder you're still together

Greetings from The Hague! I love your videos!

As a Dutch living abroad for many years, this is one of the things that I’m proud of for my birth country. The Dutch are hired to reclaim land from the sea everywhere in the world, Singapore, Dubai and many more. Very nice video but indeed, just scratching the surface.

6:47 Fun little fact. The shore you see over here is the start of the duinendijk in Den Helder. The dijk are the hills along the entire western coast of the netherland (and I mean all of it) that keep the north of the country from drowning by 4 meter high seawater. You will undoubtedly see it if you were to travel to Texel, as the only form of public transportation to Texel is throught Den Helder, and the dijk ends at the port of the TESO 1, the ferry that brings you there. I live in Den Helder, so I recognized the place immediatly. Anyway, fun video!

Mike O'Keeffe We know, but humans have added so much that the balance is disturbed, causing the climate to change much faster than it ever did. Species (and the human culture as a whole) need time to adapt to changing environments, and that time is what we’re taking away. Never did any researcher say that climate change is bad. The climate change we now experience (and that we are by far the main contributor of) is dangerous because it isn’t natural and is much much faster than natural climate change

Amazing video man! I was constantly thinking that you should mention the Delta Works, until your disclaimer. A fun other little thing is that we do not only have provinces and municipalities in the Netherlands, but also ‘Water boards’ that are state bodies with their own elections and representatives and who are devoted entirely to the management of water. So that means: defence from water, the cleaning of water, transportation over/through water. I love it.

please do release those 2 hours. honestly! loved it.

Your videos are incredibly interesting and so well edited, you make me want to get into journalism
