The Maeslantkering is a large movable storm surge barrier located in the Netherlands, specifically at the mouth of the River Maes near Rotterdam. It is part of the larger Delta Works, an extensive system of dams, sluices, locks, dikes, and storm surge barriers designed to protect the low-lying regions of the Netherlands from flooding, particularly from the North Sea. The Maeslantkering is notable for its impressive engineering and size.
