Dutch levee engineering
Wow, Holland on the CNN front page. And it is even a positive message.
 http://www.cnn.com/video/partners/cl...ch.levees.affl or http://www.emailthis.clickability.co...ToID=382600026 PS: Don't think we know all about levees. Even after a zillion centuries of experience we goof up reguarly
