Re: Will the Netherlands be flooded?
haha! It would take just one tsunami-gulf of a few meters and the 'woonboot' would be history.
What about other implications after the inundation of the west of Holland?
*The harvest of the dutch farmers in the east of Holland will fail. The water in the ground will be too salty.
*Also the companies who provide us with our daily drinkingwater might face problems with the saltiness of the groundwater.
*Economic disaster will follow as for instance Rotterdam, a very important harbour which made our economy thrive, is gone. Schiphol as well. The west of Holland was also internationally known for it's flowers like tulips. This industry will also be gone.
*There could be some real chemical disasters happening around the area of Europoort as well. And what about the distruction of communication infrastructure?
My solution: keep a backpack ready for emergencies. With energybars, flashlight, water purification pills - the lot. And waterproof plastified photo's of your dear ones. In case they're lost it's so important you can ask people if they've seen him or her. Gruesome - but of vital importance I think.
