The city in the beginning is Venice,Italië. Every year there are floods. They put temporary walkways.
Maybe we could save Venice before it's gone, rising sealevel, or the many cruise ships that cause so much damage to the old city. We the Dutch could do waterworks to keep the sealevel stable, and the big cruisers out!
The Dutch offered Bush two (big) water pumps for New Orleans after Kathrina , he refused and said America could coop on it's own, two weeks in there was a call from the US goverment inquiring if the pump were still available. The Netherlands said yes, shall we send them over, No need sais the US, the military airplans to get them are allready on their way to get them. One of the pumps drained a whole neighbourhood on it's own.
A lesser known action was this in the UK; ruclips.net/video/awaumd-KgmY/видео.html&ab_channel=ArjenvanderHorst-foreigncorrespondent
ruclips.net/video/l_XorP_jQjE/видео.html&ab_channel=ArjenvanderHorst-foreigncorrespondent
And after that we helped setting them up the full system around New Orleans that was stress tested this year.
@@connectedeurope Indeed, it had to be paid for by the city but dutch companies deliver quality so nobody was ripped of.
@@corneliusantonius3108 yes it was paid help true.
Proud Dutchie here! 🇳🇱❤️🌷🌷
you like water coming out of your plumbing system... showering, drinking, cooking etc. you don,t hate that
you only hate it when there is a leak in your system and it floods the house..
the dutch system is pretty much the same attitude, we love the sea we love the water, we get everything from it, fish, fertile farmland , amusement etc etc
we just don,t want it in our livingrooms..
The oosterscheldekering is on the island I live at. It really it huge. Very big tourist attraction as well.
Me too, i drive over it a lot. It’s beautiful.
HET EILAND
My dad worked as an engineer on it, we lived in Nieuwerkerk on Schouwen. Spent way too much time at Neeltje Jans :D
The plants sown in the first stage of creation of the polders is used to bind salt. A few years these are removed from the land taking with it the salt. This way the lands is made suitable for agriculture.
That's what I meant earlier: don't fight nature, work with it.
No we don't hate the water, we love it!
@6:20 not really weve been poldering to some extend for 1000s of years in the netherlands, its just that post ww2 the level of technology became mucho different , I find it always a shame that noone ever mentions that on that afsuitdijk theres a prototype energy plant that works on the difference between salt and sweet water
11:42 "Why do you guys hate the water so much?" ... roll of the couche laughing out loud 🤣🇳🇱
nice content Simple thumbs up.
The Dutch knew the Delta Works weren't going to last forever,
However their estimations were that every year they worked on this they gained 2 years to think of how to improve it.
So if they just did a good job the first time,
They'd have long enough to prepare for the next iteration.
Current science confirms that the Dutch bought themselves up to potentially 200 years of time with regards to natural forces
But more significantly they gained a massive head start technologically,
With ideas like the plants to dry out land,
Filling the barrier with water to adjust it's height
And already starting to future proof their ideas using different kinds of simulations that have literal decades to be tested and perfected.
Fun fact: parts of the Delta Works are tested in a forest (Waterloopbos forest)
Someone reacted to Fact Boy?! My god-the boy with the blaze has made it!!
Each of the arms of the maeslantkering is the size of the Eiffel tower.
But useful.
Simple: the walkways are in Venice, an Italian city that’s usually mostly in the water, but this was an extreem case where they put walkways on the large square (usually dry).
You asked what happened in 2007:
There was a big storm on January the 18th.
Windforce 10 and heavy rainfall.
After Catrina, Dutch water engineers were asked to help out. Since that time they have build several levies that proved their worth during the last hurricane that hit the region.
And yes this kind of projects cost an enormous amount of money. But you have to compare those expenses with the money needed to rebuild a region after a disaster as Catherina. and you should also add the loss of lives and human suffering. These projects also provide good jobs and Rotterdam can keep functioning as one of the largest harbors in the world which is essential for Dutch economy. It was and is a large investment. However, the benefits exceed the costs.
3:16 - that's Venice in Italy. It's basically so low that any time a fish farts it floods, and they put up those temporary walkways so you don't have to slog through water.
2:43 that is the Italian city of Venice. They have regular flooding of the streets at springtide. Thus these walkways on stilts.
13:19 that bridge lifts up vertically.
All people that you saw on the walkway, was on the St Marco Square in Venice and every year it floods more frequently!
Ofcourse the knew the barrier would work, because they did countless test and simulations! Nowadays a lot of simulations are done digitaly, but we have also the biggest real wave test simulator in the world! 🌊🤪✌🏼
Proud to be Dutch, and at the same time glad to be living on one of the few more substantial hills (just shy of 100m/328ft) in the country.
11:50 No worries man, it was funny!
Subscribed! Your videos are great! I just went to the Oosterschelde kering. It’s really impressive!
Many people forget that by sealing off the sea, water can't go in, water also can't go out. The rivers keep feeding the delta, causing floods upstream.
There's also “room for the rivers”, where riverside urban area is being moved to allow for the rivers to flood without danger or damage to anyone.
Some towns and cities cannot be moved however, as the river had become such an integral part of the infrastructure, the towns relying much on direct access to the river, they require flood protection against water from upstream.
The delta works 1 (zuiderzee works) and the delta works 2 (mainly coastal defence) cost more than the whole Apollo project to put a bunch of men on the moon. Not bad for such a small country. After finishing we had to start with delta works 3, the river dikes. This was because climate change caused the river to fluctuate way more than previously. They are now nearing completion and saved us this year from the floodwaters coming from Belgium and Germany, but only just....
So we move forward with clever and innovative solutions to deal with water.
The amazing part is we managed the rivers by giving them, besides the dikes, more room to overflow.
I'm not very nationalistic but incredibly proud about our world leading water management.
Groetjes uit Brabant 😎👍
@@gauloiseguy The problem in a few decades (already starting now) is that groundwater wells up from the soil everywhere. The pressure comes from the rising sea levels and is transmitted beneath the dunes via the groundwater. There is as yet no technical solution in sight if the sea level rise will be more than 1.5 meters. Even if the dikes etc. would hold, this phenomenon will cause that the Netherlands will become slowly too wet to live in.
@@ronaldderooij1774
I'm afraid you're right for the Westland at least.
@@gauloiseguy Yeah, I live very close to the Westland.
@@ronaldderooij1774 The technology to deal with it exists. There are even plans to drain the entire north sea. The problem is international cooperation and cost.
🙏thank you for the big compliment on how the dutch use the force of nature💯 the way of the water Don't work against it, but find a way to work with it. 😄 They already build floating houses🙃😄
This is what the USA missed during Katrina and similar storms. By now the Dutch are earning all investments back, in saved lives and lack of the millions in damages for each storm that isn't protected against.
People woke up with water flooding their houses, so they went to the attic. Attics did not all have windows, so only people whom brought tools could brake the roof, and get out. Others drowned in their own attic.
3:07 thats venice (in Italy) I know cause ive been to that particular square. Its kind of confusing, and yes it flooded a decade ago
18:00 : what happened was nothing, nothing happened. Cause it worked.
@12:20 o i can tell you...since i work right around the corner...its basicly a big door on cables attached to counterweights in the towers
The sea can take Holland, if it just leaves the rest of the Netherlands alone.
gee, thanks..
@NSA agent But North- and South Holland are the main economical/financial factors of the Netherlands, without them you are going to live in poverty. Good luck with that.
I live in Krimpen aan den IJssel with the first Delta Works .
I was there at the opening of "de Stormvloedkering" with the queen (and royals from England) I used to work for the government.
Such an honor to be there.
We still do fight the water, even now when we have real bad weather some places will be flood.
we have to keep fighting the water else some places will be down six meters underwater.
For those old enough:
Remember the yellow sea when they used rapeseed to dry the polder further?
It's incredible when I see it through the memories of my child's eye.
3.20 City is flooded. 13.20 are two towers within between a massive door that can go up and down between these two towers. Simon makes already years of videos in high quality and is one of my favorites.... For you, the Dutch are new information for a few months, and for me, I never saw reaction videos before until I saw 4 Americans HxC, Simple Reacts, American Guy reacts, Texas reacts talking about the Netherlands if they are seeing the future and that some places are not bad at all to live outside the States. Not many people outside the Netherlands noticed us in my younger years. We were a little forgotten nation that was busy building and improving dikes after so many wars. And so I practice my English writing a little because otherwise, I forget things, so RUclips is not bad after all.
And still the majority of Americans think the USA is the best country in the world. Simply because they don't look beyond their landborders. The USA isn't that great at all.
@@komkwam It is a nice and good country USA, we own a huge part of our freedom because of them. You find freedom of speech, GDP around 50.000, some beautiful places to go to, nice people and as you see they are willing to learn what's going on in the world and found our tiny little frog country and fell in love...
@@EricvanDorp007 But the majority isn't, so it is dumb to say that the USA is the best/greatest country in the world while those Americans haven't seen anything outside their own country.
We thank our freedom also because of the English, Canadians, Russians etc,.
I find it silly to keep referring on how we thank our freedom because of them, the world/time moves on.
America of today is not the USA of 70 years ago.
@@komkwam The only ones that are telling the USA is the greatest is the government of the USA himself to their people, The people themself know better.
Because of the dutch you have to drink alot water every day.😉😁🥛
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
lol
Sorry Simple, the water joke WAS funny, hahahaha! :-)
Ohhhhh when you pause on 1.27 or watch his story at 12.49 you learn about the 'stormvloedkering' (literally meaning storm-surge-turner) at two sides of the Algerabrug (Algera-bridge) in 'Krimpen aan den IJssel', my hometown were I grew up ;-) It is where you saw 'the two towers in red light', those are actually part of 4 towers with the Algera bridge in the middle. Between the first and last two towers there is a humongous steel door that slowly decends into the river when the waterlevel rises extremely high or when a storm with a big surge is coming in. This project is part of the Delta Works and quite impressive to see when lowered.
The proper translation is storm surge barrier.
the bridge you see is separate from the big colums, there are giant shields inbetwwen those two colums under water that will pull up if needed.
The best defense we have against water is swimming lessons 😉😉
@3:12. That's Venice Italy. The city sinks, so when a storm surge hits, you get wet feet.
Yellowstone is a gigantic volcano waiting to happen
too bad they didn't show more of THE Oosterscheldekering
( ooster-schelde-kering = eastern-schelde-barrier )
from the Netherlands thanks for the video
around the 3 minute mark: it's Venice
laying below sea level or on sea level doesn't mean you flood with every bit of water. there have been dikes and dunes for a long time which makes it semi-safe. without them we are in massive trouble. my place lays around 2.5m below sea level but due to these things we are not drowning at the moment.
13:25 the bridge between those 2 towers goes up vertically ,instead of on one end.
Thanks for you spontane comments!! You just must expect crazy huge contructions. Bc of the unpredictable huge forces, all solutions started as experiments. From the 100 most craziest ideas, 99 failed but 1 worked. Recalculated to the real world, it forms the start of the contruction-plan. NL just has to find a solution for the threat from these forces that do not negotiate.
The city with the walk boards is Venice in Italy
my grandmother's brothers helped after the flood disaster of 1953
My father met people who worked on the “Afsluitdijk”(enclosure dam). They said it was bone rushing work(bottenwerk).
Bone crushing is the proper expression.
@@insAneTunA yes, my fault. Sorry.☹️
2:54 Nick Diaz vibes
holland is the alternative name for the netherlands. so you know
What's with your hair?
Choice, accident, fight, epilepsy?
Yeah I'm Dutch, direct and rude
Mantap...☕👍❤️
nice i m from Krimpen a/d IJssel
This is Venetie
About the towers and the bridge you coulnd figger out how it works.
At 19:20 they are right behind you ;p
lol, it doesn't conect to tge bridge
It's a flood barier, you're looking at it lowered. (They have to be tested)
it's not Holland. it's The Netherlands.
The floods in those cities has nothing to do with climate change. it has to do with bad maintenance.
IJssel is just Ice-cel in english so I don't know why he was struggling with that pronunciation
It's the Dutch letter 'ij' (yes it's one letter, that no-one bothered to include in any computer code page, so you can't even type it properly. Wikipedia calls it a digraph). Its pronunciation is uniquely Dutch at least as far as Germanic and Latin languages are concerned. The closest in English is probably 'I' but that would be considered a dialect pronunciation in true ABN ( common civilised Dutch -- the Dutch equivalent of BBC or tbe Queen's English). In names like IJssel and IJsselmeer both the I and the J are capitalised.
Typically English speakers try to pronounce the I and the J as separate sounds, which leads to hilarious things like 'ee-yel-semere', instead of 'Eyecelmere' (still wrong but a lot closer.)
Actually his pronunciation of Stormvloedkering Hollandse IJssel was pretty good.
@@rmyikzelf5604 Dat weet ik al lol
3:10 is venice italy not the netherlands
"The Netherlands the alternative name for Holland"
FFS! It is the other way around. Holland is just a province. My country is called The Netherlands. Not Holland.
HOLLAND, HOLLAND, HOLLAND.......... :-)
I'm so glad Almere, the actual biggest city in Flevoland, was completely forgotten in his video. Everyone hates Almere, Lelystad at least has big tourist attractions with millions of visitors each year and a loooot of nature. And me, I love nature. Actually, I like the other polders too, they're kinda underrated (wierringermeer and Noordoostpolder)
There are definitely suburbs where you would not want to be found alive or dead. Though they at least gave Almere like 5 stations.
@@maxvandenberg955 Yes, that's positive, 5 stations. More possibilities to leave the city as fast as possible :3
Almere is a beautiful city, those that say otherwise have just never been there and actually seen what it looks like nowadays, they just have the image of what it looked like in the late 70's to early 80's when everything was still a sandbox. It's 40 years later people! Time to let go of the old stereotype
@@KirojaFluffy I'm there every day, trust me, back in the days it was better. Back when they had actual redeeming qualities like a big nature area near the city centre (the one they're destroying at the moment by building Floriade, and afterwards, a new neighbourhood there)
Also, I personally enjoy the oldest neighbourhoods the most. The ones that actually feel like a Flevoland city (green instead of the concrete jungle that is Almere) and not some prestige project that ultimately failed. You know, neighbourhoods like Almere-Haven.
The old stereotype isn't a thing, it's the new one that became a thing around the time they built the new city centre (or should I say wind tunnel) and the countless failed projects (the castle, the ice-skating hall, the countless attempts of building tourist things like museums or recreation parks, that always got cancelled) and go on.
One thing they do good over there is the mobility system with bus lanes (which also creates some problems, but let's not try to be too negative)
@@letheas6175 fair enough, not a fan of the floriade disaster either, and they better leave pampushout alone, but I don't agree it's a concrete jungle, most neighbourhoods have lots of green, parks, streams and they're usually a lot better than similar era "vinexwijken" in other cities. Some areas in Buiten I'm iffy on, lots of all the same houses street after street, but again, every city has those kind of neighbourhoods.
Nu kan dit niet meer .kosten zouden te hoog worden
Het moet kost wat kost gedaan worden ,want Limburg kan deze grote stroom van vluchtelingen niet aan. Het zou ook het einde van hun onbezorgde Bourgondisch ,,way of live'' kunnen betekenen ! Hahaha!
React Gabriel Henrique Espírito Enche A Minha Vida please...please.
It’s The Netherlands and not Holland!!
“The Netherlands alternative name for Holland” ????? 😠 NO NO NO Holland the alternative name of the Netherlands😔 I get so tired of this. It has to do with history because on our ships who traded all over the world was written on the back Holland. Because of our seaport that is in zuid Holland. So a lot of country know us only by that name. But as you know our real name is THE NETHERLANDS or as we say Nederland. It is the same if we did call the whole u.s.a. only New York. Because we know it from the Statue of Liberty. I understand that it is confusing foreigners and in the old days I probably won’t even bother the say something but common people there’s internet now so... keep up👍🏼
Sorry, most Dutch use both Holland or/and The Netherlands as well.
All the rest in the world use H O L L A N D !
That's it .
sorry 😇⚘
@@jsb7975 as I sad ... keep up👍🏼
@Sunset Honeycomb The Netherlands is also the cultural term for both
the Netherlands AND Belgium. (Netherlandish art, composers a.s.o.)
Stop calling us german. We are Netherlanders, Hollandics and Batavarians. Dutch comes from Deutch. Probably the fault of Willem van Oranje Nassau a.k.a. Williamof Orange Nassau. A part of the National Antem goes Äm i of german blood"and thats right he was german like the Royal Family still is. New Kings mother had a german father, grandpa, great grandma and so on. All germans but that does not means we are all. Dutch comes from Deutsch or Duits which means german in Germany (Deutschland) and Netherland. English talking could not pronounce that so it became Dutch like Breukelen became Brooklyn, van Coevorden became Vancouver etc, etc. Proof of that are the Pensilvanian Dutch. They speak a very old europian language from Europe, coming from hold your pants.....Germany.
Holland comes from Holtland. Holt means wood in the old language. hol means hollow not empty. So Holland originally was called Holtland, land of wood because of all the trees. The T became silent and disappeared.
Somebody needs to stop that guy from saying Holland when he means the Netherlands.
I have to say and im sorry but, de banner die voorbij loopt begint onderhand te veel af te leiden... best storend. mix it up a bit, loving the reactions.
ps: i made a dronevideo at the Stormvloedkering a couple years ago (Hoek van Holland) ruclips.net/video/cK5aur0VM_4/видео.html

You must have a pathetic life to get upset by how someone called The Netherlands Holland. It is just a word. There are way more important things on Earth to worry about.
he is talking such nonsense... that '53 flood had nothing to do with climate change at all.
it was a perfect storm, a combination of springtide and a very strong northwestern storm let the water break through the dikes and when one broke there was no stopping the water.
and that picture of people on a walkway is made in venice, which has such floods on a regular basis and had them as long as venice exists.
@13:00 his pronounciation is some of the worst i've ever heard
Could you please stop the video when you’re talking?
We really have no choice to do it and as a kicker we make a boatload of money keeping others dry. Prevention is the key. other important vid: ruclips.net/video/T8xwGJEvQ00/видео.html&ab_channel=LearnDutchwithBartdePau
