Mistakes, Corrections, & Clarifications
———
- At least one image of the 1953 flood is in the UK not the Netherlands. However, it is the same event. 307 people in England were killed by the flood.
- At 1:03 the graphic say "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 under water at high tide, if it were not for the existence and the country's use of dikes, dunes and pumps.
