This was absolutely impossible to read. I was interested in the topic though as I have a Dutch spatial planning university degree and it's nice to see these systems working. The years of hard engineering projects for flood management did not go to waste especially for the mitigation of these events.

That said, NL is not focusing on these hard engineering solutions as much anymore as the focus has turned towards soft engineering, such as controlled floodplains. We'll probably see less and less of these kinds of solutions in the future and flood management becomes more boring in a sense.
