Here’s why the Netherlands may have disappeared a long time ago if it wasn’t for their clever engineering.
Because the majority of the Netherlands lies below sea level, they have spent years constructing large-scale sea defenses to push back water and protect themselves from calamities. They've been fairly effective at it, reclaiming over 20% of their territory from the sea and lakes. How did they pull it off? Watch our video to find out.

As a Dutchmen,i am sure that it won´t be 65% of the land under water!The majority of the land is still above sea level,so how can it be 65 %?Outside the polders there is land above the sea level,only crossed by a river.So the land beside the river can only be in water when the river is very high,but then only the sides off the river will be wet.

On my god! How can anyone mispronounce the name of the Zuiderzee? Only in America it would seem. Hint - it’s the zider-see (close enough, but it will prevent the Dutch going after the idiots that didn’t advise the narrator about pronunciations). Despite this and other screwups, it was an interesting video if a bit too short explaining a complex topic. Please, if you’re going to cover foreign languages like English, or European etc at least make the effort to pronounce the names correctly (or advise the narrator what to expect).

The Netherlands needs to raise their lands more than dams, but to do this by dumping soil with trucks is not durable and takes a long time. That's why my opinion is that the Netherlands should be prepared for a big project. The project should create artificial volcanic eruptions and allow cities to raise land. Lava will cover the country's land like a blanket. Of course, the regions where this will be done must be transferred. It's not easy, but it came to my mind as the healthiest method.
@I_am_somebody_1234
@I_am_somebody_1234 11 месяцев назад
And its not exactly an easy political solution either. Forcing a volcano to erupt on otherwise lucrative fields will piss of the greens, ranchers, lobbyists and basically anyone who depends on that land being useful or doesnt feel like flooding acres of grassland with lava

​@@frankvandorp9732well there is a volcano in the Waddenzee but its last eruption was 150 million years ago. And even if it was active how would we even force it to erupt and how do you even begin to control an eruption.

If the Netherlands wants to save its land then the Dutch government should plant as many native trees in their country as possible. The trees take water from the land and hold the land firmly by their roots. There is no better natural way than mangroves to save the land lost in the sea, and the Netherlands will have to import sand from Arab countries. At least one thousand tons of sand should be imported to the Netherlands every year in large ships and coconut trees should be planted on the shores of the Netherlands. (Suggestion from Pakistan)

Mangroves do not grow in Europe, and palm trees only in the very south... A thousand tons of sand do not help, we need half the Sahara.
