| Description: The majority of people who have any knowledge of the Delta Works are convinced that the Netherlands are protected by an intricate system of dikes, dams and storm surge barriers. How wrong they are. All these contraptions are nothing more than a big hoax to create a safe feeling for the Dutch.
