I assume they're on the Maas river, but obviously that's a pretty long river... But as I say, it's going to be interesting to see how the Netherlands react to rising sea levels in the next couple of decades or so. With luck I'll be living over there in time so whatever the plan is I hope it's a good one... Thanks Bob – are they in an area at particular risk of flooding?
