Billy D, you say that the Netherlands have not had problems with flooding, but thats incorrect.
Back in 1953, many thousands died, and as a result, billions were spent over 25 years to improve the protection. They are fairly confident now, that they are protected, but they are aware that nature is not to be trifled with, and thousands could die again.
