this solution wouldn't work for the Nieuwe Waterweg

However, this solution wouldn't work for the Nieuwe Waterweg.As the lifeblood of the local shipping industry,this passage had to be kept open in safe conditions,and barricaded during storm surges.In 1998, the completed Maeslantkering provided the flexible protection necessary.Alongside additional barriers, like grassy dikes and concrete seawalls,these fortifications made up the bulk of the Delta Works project,which was primarily focused on holding back ocean storms.
