Netherlands Dam: Sea change make structure ineffective
HTML-код

- It was built nearly a century ago as one of the most innovative mega projects of its time.
The 32-kilometre Enclosure Dam in the Netherlands has served to protect the nation from the sea.
But now, rising water levels and increasing storms mean the government is having to enhance the structure.
Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports from the Affslow dyke Afsluitdijk (af-slow-dyke) in the Netherlands.

#NetherlandsDam
I once read a comment about an old Dutch joke that said that the Dutch take land away from the sea because it's easier to take land away from the sea than from the Germans.
Nice
its true the water is a pushover
Dont know where u heard that one. As a dutch person never heard that one... The common line is often; god may have created the world but the dutch created the Netherlands ;)
@@tim3440,
I like that one too.
@G V truth?
They are going to need to build the attack on titan walls in the future
they need titans to put in the wall for that
Weeb
You know the speaker is Dutch if that person uses the word *super* oftenly
Or a 2nd grade teacher.
I've now accommodated it into my English after living here for a while
Rather pronouncing Afsluitdijk correctly is the giveaway. Saying super a lot of times is more American than Dutch.
Ag ja super jonge.
"Sweet water lake" is another give-away.
A "super super super storm" sounds terrifying.
Should I do it?

Proud to be Dutch! 🇳🇱
Dutch heritage from South Africa here . We come from Texel .
@@Ravishrex1 Hi there fellow countryman!
@@Ravishrex1 If you love the Netherlands than why did your family leave?
A german person would never be able to say that
The comments section when someone posts a video about the Netherlands:
G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Ik dank u haha!
Ik dank u eveneens voor deze komische uitspraak!
Sounds racist
Don't mind me, I'm just reading comments of dutch people bragging about themselves.
Who? Moi? ha..never LOL
And we should we did amazing things in our war against the ocean
The change in the sea mannerism should also initiate change of structure of the dam incorporating furure change in the ocean.
The Dutch plan to wall off the north sea and English channel would be amazing. It probably take a hundred years for all that salt water to turn into fresh water.
Not 'the Dutch' some engineers proposing a possible solution to a worst case scenario if sea levels keep rising. Closing the North Sea /channel would be a economic disaster but not as bad as letting countries get flooded.
How will a North Sea wall turn salt water into fresh water?
@@MargaritaMagdalena Same way the Zuiderzee became the IJsselmeer.
@@MargaritaMagdalena Because fresh water constantly flows in the ocean from the continent, so if you cut the North Sea from the rest of the ocean, then it will become fresh water (after a very long time)
That idea would be absurd. It would affect the ocean currents that flows through the artic down the north sea to the baltics. The consequences of it would be unpredictable
_"It has taken our country forward."_
Quite literally if you are facing north.
Very strong sense of community, makes you more resilient.
How true!❤️👍
It ain't much if it ain't dutch
Dutch engineering is unique to none. 👏👏👏
Indeed it is
Unique ( means one of a kind) or second to none! Unique to none makes no sense! 😉
They engineering so unique they left today Jakarta (Batavia) sinking 🤣
@@Beraksekebon21 thats not us. Too many people and unstable grounds and rising water lvls
@@TheSuperhoden who do u think made batavia now Jakarta as the center of governing capital city ? who brought the people all over the world ? the flood happens in collonial dutch too they just leave it and do nothing about it, when they leave for good Jakarta is Netherland legacy to Indonesia
I never knew about this, that's freaking amazing!
Crazy to think it is suspected to only last 30 years before needing to be upgraded
Sea level is rising due to global warming.
That's a prediction.... It could last 80 more years
@G V how dare you!
Its been there since 1933, it wasn't just build.
30 years is the worst case scenario btw
goed gedaan
i cant stop loving this country
Go live there
@@jassimaltoki3580 i live there
@01.58 zuid zee 🤣😂 ps : let them hate us cuz they know how good we are with the zee🤣
@@kadirushirazu1276 sheesh. Good for you then. I lived there for 4 years, couldn’t wait to leave 😅
@@oranjeboven6363 ❤️
You mean re claim “ new Amsterdam “. Now that’s a very good idea
I like peanuts.
I love buildings.
I love the sea
I love you
Smile every day
I like turtles
Fun fact: We (the dutch) also build the walls from Attack on Titan
did u watch attack on titans? cuz i watched like 2 seasons and im pretty sure the titans made the walls or smth i should really watch the other seasons
@@Maussiegamer r/wooooshh
@@BLACKLIGHT_NL or r/badjoke
NETHERLANDS PROVE THAT WALLS DO WORK!!!
CHINA - Do you even remember our great wall??
Cool
The endless struggle with the sea
Meanwhile North Jakarta is under water.
that's cause you kicked out the Dutch🙄
@@pepin8277 broooo
Not really, they also has started to build structure like these.
Of course pathetic trolls like you would care less 😂😂😂.
PS: West Papua is part of Indonesia and there's nothing that trolls like you can do about it 😁😁😁
@@pepin8277 yeah we kicked them cause theyre the one make Jakarta (Batavia) Singking as today. 🤣
@@dianardiansyah7708 West Papua will be free one day. Sukarno with his populair PKI followers forces an unfair referendum on the people of West Papua. Keep trolling, the world will remember.
The Dutch seem to be leading the way as it seems that all of Continental Europe facing both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea will have to do this to some degree.
Well, some Dutch engineers once brought up the plan to dam the entire north and Baltic sea off. Basically creating a dam from Scotland to Norway and from England to France. But those kind of projects would have too high of a risk
Sana ay dito din sa Pilipinas ay gawin ang magandang proyekto na yan...
Wooooooow netherlands are the best
"Joe call us again and we maik it higher"
This is why we have chip shortage. We are adding chips to rocks too
there's a typo in the title, it's a dutch dam, netherlands is not a word.
possesion of the netherlands is netherlands dam
also netherlands is the literal name of the country and is in fact a word
We're really good in managing the ocean, yet the people consistently refuse to do anything on adapting to green energy.
We're far, far behind on climate action
🤣🤣🤣 Change is inevitable. Controlling nature, or the world is a dilusional mentality. The only thing YOU CAN do is, adapt to change. I don't think the dinosaur deaths was attributed to human climate change, but dinosaur deaths made it safer for humans to survive.
@@BelleLopez312 so what your plan is to just evolve our way out of it??? Tf kind of plan is that
@@BelleLopez312 Quiet down you ridiculous uneducated right wing fucknut.
@ 🤣🤣🤣 I agree with you that education is overated. Since my Mom insisted on paying for ALL Student Loans, I gladly take freebies with a diploma. How's the self hate, jealous leftie balls working for you? Do you get lucky with your hateful attitude? Do tell, I'm curious.
So this is why ford has a shortage of chips...
Hahahah that farmer love the accent did you ever watch in the past the dam was nothing look now
bangladesh desperately needs to learn from netherlands!
A corrupted nation!!! Shame!
I think about Bangladesh a lot and how India gave you a delta, a flood plain to make a nation. It's true Bangladesh needs to learn from the Dutch by inviting them to teach them how to build flood resistant barriers
@Brown English
It's the technology and expertise I am talking about, that kind of help, not politics .Mangroves alone would not help, though it would offer some help
@Brown English no they aren’t, or not in any direct way. Slavery is three centuries ago and the Netherlands claimed land from the sea before then. IF you want to link slavery to a current instance, look no further the the soccer stadia being build in Qatar.
@@ivarbrouwer197 you are well informed
Incorrect title
That barrier doesn't protect from Kaiju. Don't get your hopes up.
Making more Lake than sea
“Sweet water”, really? 🤦🏼♂️
Jup
Ja, zoetwater letterlijk vertaald
Yes, we Dutch ad sugar to the oceans to make is fresh.
Time to call Hans Brinker and his trusted finger again
Subtitles please?
"sweet water lake" "giJantic" hahahah her english is so nederlandsy lmao
Chance climate
Unfortunately Dutch people forgot make the Afsluitdijk in Batavia make now Modern Jakarta Struggle against Flooding every single year and now Jakarta is sinking 😤😤😤😤😤
The ocean will not rise indefinitely. At some point it will recede again. Life goes on.
Yes, you are right. The sea will rise up to 60 meters and stay at that level for about 300-350 years before receding again. No problemo, marine life goes on.
Die Netherlands! ( my hateful comment of the day)
🤔 Oh Okay
It's german for "The Netherlands"
P.S. The Netherlands in German is actually Die Niederlande.
So it has to be replaced after 100 years? What a disaster!
Atleast better then having yearly deathtoll of 2000/5000....
But the sea level is not rising, check Australia Sydney harbour water level water marker, but, the land does rise and fall.
Yes it is. Islands have been overrun already. Youre on RUclips. Use it and educate yourself
Both are happening now. The sea is rising 1. because the oceans are warming and expanding as a result, 2. the ice is melting rapidly in Greenland, Antarctica and the Hymalaja. This melting process will cause land under Greenland and Antarctica to rise due to the loss of the weight of the land ice.
"It was a JaIjAnTiC project"
0:50 a dzjidzjantic prodzject 🤣😂🤣😂
Why use more word when less word do job?
Its not gijantic its gigantic
click bait
Inacurate title
If we would flood Netherlands would we stop the sea rise ?
the land is sinking. sea rise the same as the last 5 hundred years. the sinking land has nothing to do with "climate change".
@@craigmbackel8145 No.
Going to watch Shark Tales and eat popcorn
What a nonsense report
Steenkolen engels
Imagine the backfill could safely be made of garbage, especially plastic.
Humble yourself and beg some other country for land or just buy land in another country. You can't win against mother nature you're about to learn.
lol did u even listen to what was said in the video?
@@JanDirk2020 obviously not
What did you smoke?
