    The Delta Works are a huge water barrier consisting of dikes, locks, storm surge barriers and dams. They were built after the devastating storm surge of 1953 to protect the country from the sea. The most important structures are the Oosterscheldekering, a movable storm surge barrier, and the Maeslantkering near Rotterdam. The system extends across Zeeland and South Holland and is considered one of the largest hydraulic engineering projects in the world. The Delta Works not only provide protection against flooding, but have also contributed to the creation of nature reserves.
