1. man's ambition to tame water
has led to some incredible construction
projects
[Music]
dams canals and even poulders
to reclaim huge tracts of land from the
sea
[Music]
frederick rustagno is a physicist an
expert in fluid dynamics
and a researcher at the cnrs he's going
to take a look at the work of engineers
who have marked our planet's history
every single day there was something to
resolve
now when you look back you're like wow
we overcome
a lot but you learn
these visionaries tackled immense
projects to protect themselves from the
often devastating effects of water
everything had to be invented nowhere in
the world had a structure like this ever
been built
[Music]
and also to harness its tremendous power
our scientific investigation will help
understand how these extraordinary
technical challenges
have redrawn the landscapes of the
planet it's the story of tenacious
engineers who in just a few centuries
became the masters of water

yes
it was here in corinth almost 3 000
years ago
that the idea of building a major canal

more than six kilometers long
a line between two seas a spectacular
etching of man's desire to master time
it's a godsend for the 11 000 boats that
use the corinth canal each year
this rocky corridor dug into the narrow
strip of land
known as an isthmus avoids a 400
kilometer detour around the peloponnese
after the failure of projects dating
back to greek and roman antiquity
the idea of the corinth canal fell by
the wayside for almost 2000 years
but the development of shipping traffic
and world trade in the 19th century
reawaken the ambitions of the greek
people governor
decided that he wanted greece to develop
the opening of the swiss canal in 1869
was another ringing bell
for her grace to move forward and
