The document discusses the relationship between the Netherlands and water. It notes that 70% of the Dutch GDP is produced below sea level and the country experiences two major floods per century, costing around 2% of GDP each time. It describes how the Netherlands takes a "living with water" approach through programs like "Room for the River" which widens river channels and sets dikes farther back to accommodate higher water levels from climate change and prevent costly dike heightening. The goal is to increase flood protection while enhancing natural landscapes.
