Maybe somebody would like to add a link in the proper way and place to a GoogleMaps image of the Maaslantkering; http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=51.955976,4.164333&spn=0.033989,0.063343&t=k&hl=en

This entry is very minimal - I found it difficult to obtain any kinds of statistics for the Delta Works. Can anyone provide more information?

I added some information through links a few days ago and restructured the article. I hope this gives some more information. Blue Henk 12:03, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I watched a program on this that that explained that because of global warming, they were ready to breach the dam and flood several small villages. It also showed how houses were being built nearby to float if it flooded. Can somebody add something about this? --Chickenfeed9 20:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cost

What is the cost to build and maintain the dike system? Dansample 07:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was build for 2.36 billion euro (as in 1986), it costs 17 million euro per year to operate.(see [1] in Dutch). Felsir 13:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

10,250 Miles of dike?

Does anyone have a source for this number? Seems an awful lot to me, especially considering we have just 3268km of highway and the total area of the Netherlands is about 16000 square miles. I can't find any sources in the Dutch wikipedia Omegium (talk) 23:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And could we please get rid of the "miles" and use real units? 82.143.195.118 (talk) 12:35, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

This article contradicts Netherlands#Delta works, which says the project ended around 2002. This article says it ended in 1997. TheUnixGeek (talk) 18:27, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
