The Netherlands is a country claimed from water. Now, it seems, the water wants it back. Rising sea levels and overflowing rivers is making this low-lying nation increasingly vulnerable to serious floods.

For centuries, the Dutch have struggled to control floods. Will the Dutch be able to keep the water at bay - or must they now contemplate the previously unthinkable: allowing the water in.

"It's not a matter of saying let's just abandoning the country, we cannot do that." - Louise Fresco

"When there is no land there is no country - there is no Netherlands... " - Tineke Huizinga
