Hope they keep control on that situation! It's strange for me to hear/see on TV such news from you Dutch! Normally it's us fighting with the water, you are always the ones who have everything under control.

Are you suffering when the Rhein and other rivers rise?

Hi Torsten,

Every year when the snow starts melting in the Alps the south of the country has problems. The Rhein reached a near critical hight last week 14 m. When all the Swiss snow comes down she will probably rise more. They are starting to take precautions for that now already. That's one of the problems living in a country that is a natural delta to some mayor rivers and that is under sea level for most part.
But suppose that's why the best water engineers come from this part of the world.
