Re: That land doesn't have to flood

Well, yes and no. The "watersnood ramp" was the result of a combination of factors. A lot of which have been tackled by the "delta plan". Flood defences aren't and will never be 100% fail safe but the Dutch system works pretty dang well. I also seem to recall the Brits where warned the Thames barrier was under-sized even in the design phase.
