Awesome Engineering Feat

Absolutely amazing read - Before the levees break

The kind of effort Dutch engineers are putting into keeping the sea water from flooding their coastal cities is a marvelous engineering achievement. Makes economic sense too, since according to the article "The half of the country that is below sea level—including the area behind these dunes—generates about 65 percent of its GDP. That's nearly $450 billion a year."

The planning and resources that are being spent on the feat is absolutely awe inspiring.
