Noordwaard

The Netherlands struggle with water goes on as ever. But the way in which the Dutch manage that struggle is changing. Building stronger dykes is no longer enough. Giving the rivers room to expand - thats the latest approach. In a couple of years, water will be flowing once more through the Noordwaard polder, a reclaimed area of land near Rotterdam. This means the De Regt family will have to leave their farm and their home. Whats more, this will be the second time the family has had to pay a high price to help the Netherlands win its battle with water.
