That's the battle that's going on right now.

it's super ingenious the way they designed it.

- If I hear one more thing about the water.

Yes, thousands and thousands of square kilometers

of land has been won back from the ocean.

The story of this battle between the ocean and the Dutch

the Dutch, Netherlands and Holland are all the same thing

it all has to do with the same thing, which is this country,

So the Netherlands or Holland or whatever you wanna call it

I mean, if you look at the map of Holland,

just kind of eat away at this land year after year.

Instead of fleeing these coastal communities

about 500 years ago, the Dutch started to fight back.

Now, let's just be clear about one thing,

the incessant, timeless powerhouse, the ocean,

- This battle between the Netherlands and the ocean

and yet the Netherlands have decided to fight back

and they're doing a pretty darn good job.

a whole science behind hydrological engineering

the effects and the erosion of the ocean.

and they actually go really well together.

This is where it gets really interesting.

There are a few techniques that the Dutch use

The first one has to do with them building a wall

around a body of water that they want to turn into land.

Build a wall around it and then they, back in the day,

would build a windmill next to those walls

that would spin a pump that would pump the water out

and they will do whatever they need to do

to actually make it a firm, dry, habitable land
