The Eastern Scheldt Storm Surge Barrier, called 'Oosterscheldekering' in Dutch, was designed to protect the (southern part of the) Netherlands from flooding. For detailed information about this nine kilometres long Storm Surge Barrier, please check-out this link and/or this link.

This image shows the southern part of the barrier. Because of tidal reasons the seawater is flowing very fast and strong through it, so boats are not allowed there, because it's too dangerous.

Hope you like this image. Thank you in advance for your comment.
