Holland has the most advanced system. We have everything from huge dams to sliding robot doors to premeditated flooding areas, etc

We also have universities that offer master and doctorate degree in Watermanagement etc.

Last year a delegation from Louisiana came to do a tour of these works, our crown prince who works in this field guided them along with some other people.

They were all impressed but admitted- We´re never going to get that kind of budget to work with.

Which isn´t all that odd. the USA isn´t as hard pressed for land as Holland.
