However, it is the same event. 307 people in England were killed by the flood. • At 1:03 the graphic says 1 meter above sea level it should say at least 1 meter above sea level • At 7:00 the map is missing at least one project from the Delta Works. • The source I used that stated that about 50% of the Netherlands was reclaimed land was inaccurate. The number is closer to 17%. However, 21% of the country's population lives in the 26% of the land located below mean sea level and about 65% of the country would be underwater at high tide if it were not for the existence and the country's use of dikes, dunes, and pumps.
