Water, a friend, an enemy
Dutch Coastline
The poles have a critical function, they break the waves. This should prevent the sea from taking sand back from the beach with every wave. Despite this precaution, from time to time a new layer of sand needs to be added, to keep the beach in good condition.
Battle
That is one of our battles with the water. We inhabit the land the sea wants to take back. The Netherlands is not only a (mostly) flat country, a major part of it is also below sealevel. After the flood of 1953, a plan has been made to protect the land from the water. This plan consists of constructions that needed to be build, dikes that needed to be adjusted and much more. This plan is named The Deltaworks.
Fun
It's not all bad to have that much water, water can be fun too. Like the image shows, you can sail, but also windsurf, swim, dive and a lot more when you are at the beach. The beaches in Zeeland are very safe. At high tide, the beach is short, but the water is shallow over a long distance. At low tide, the beach is very long and the first meters of the sea still shallow. This makes it a perfect beach to visit with children. When they run off, they will meet shallow water first.
You will still have to watch your kids closely. Kids and water is a risky combination by default.
