After the construction of a 30 kilometer barrier dam, the 'Afsluitdijk’, it became a freshwater lake. The name was changed to IJsselmeer. • Major rivers Rhine and Meuse flow through the Netherlands to the North Sea. • All this water together and the fact that the most of The Netherlands is below sea level, is a serious threat to the Dutch population. • See how the Dutch defend themselves against the water in our interesting video ‘The battle against the water’. • Find out all about the Netherlands at http://www.hollandholiday.net • Also visit http://www.travopo.com
