1.Geography
The Netherlands is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands,
consisting of twelve provinces in western Europe and three islands in the Caribbean.
The Netherlands borders the North Sea to the north and west, Belgium to the south,
and Germany to the east; and shares maritime borders with Belgium, Germany and
the United Kingdom.
The capital city of the Netherlands is Amsterdam. The seat of government is located
in The Hague. The Netherlands is often referred to as "Holland", which refers only to
North and South Holland, two of its provinces.
The Netherlands is a geographically low-lying country, with about 20% of its area
and 21% of its population located below sea level, and 50% of its land lying less than
one metre above sea level.
This distinct feature contributes to the country's
Dutch name: Nederland. Its name literally means
"Low Land" or "Low Countries ”in English and in
many other European languages. Most of the areas
below sea level are man-made, caused by centuries
of extensive and poorly controlled peat extraction
that lowered the surface by several metres.
The country is divided into two main parts by three
large rivers, the Rhine (Rjin), the Waal, and the
Meuse (Maas).
2.Floods
Over the centuries, the Dutch coastline has changed considerably as a result of
human intervention and natural disasters. In 1134 a storm created the archipelago
of Zeeland in the south-west. In February 1953, the huge North Sea floods caused
the collapse of several dikes of the Netherlands.
The Dutch government instituted a large-scale program, The “Delta Works” to
protect the country against future flooding. It took 30 years to complete it. A series
of defences against the water have been created. Villages and farmhouses were
built on man-made hills called terps in the 11th
century. As the ground level
dropped, the dikes grew and merged into an integrated system. By the 13th century
windmills had come into use to pump up water out of areas below sea level.

The windmills were later used to drain lakes, creating the famous polders, which
are at 5.53 metres below sea level.
3.Delta Works
The famous Delta Works are located in the provinces of South
Holland and Zeeland. In 1953 the Delta Works, a huge set of
civil works , were built along the Dutch coast. The project
started in 1958 and was completed in 1997.
The Delta project is considered by the American Society of
Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern
World.
The Netherlands has taken lots of measures to control floods.
The country has set up a plan to cope with the sea level rise
which will be caused by global warming in the future.
