The Netherlands from above - E6/10 - Water, friend or enemy?

Описание: This series shows The Netherlands from a spectacular perspective. Through data visualizations, impressive aerial images and portraits of people on the ground, we show who we are and how time changes and has changed the country.

If anything has formed the Dutch, it is the battle against the water. With lots of perseverance and inventiveness we took our country from the sea and turned an uninhabitable delta into one of the most prosperous places on earth. Note: NAP = Normaal Amsterdams Peil/Amsterdam Ordnance Datum.
