Hydraulics Engineering Leadership

I admire the Dutch!

They not only embody the family oriented work-life balance culture. Time and again, they have thought of simple, easy-to-use, user-friendly,ingenious and revolutionary hydraulic engineering feats the world has never before seen.

Consider this:

Problem Solution
======= ========
1917 North Sea Flooding Massive seawall ever built
1953 Storm Surge Revolutionary movable series of dams.
1975 Flood Threat Rotating floating dam.

With a price to pay. Almost all 3 major obstacles nearly destroyed the country. But with their people's relentless pursuit for mini miracles, they have turnaround yet again!

What a feat of leadership!
