The Delta Works is a series of construction projects in the Netherlands aimed at protecting the southwestern part of the country from the sea. This extensive system was developed in response to the devastating North Sea Flood of 1953, which caused significant loss of life and damage. The Delta Works includes a combination of dams, sluices, locks, dikes, and levees designed to manage and control water levels in the region.
