00:00A scientist from the Netherlands government
00:01proposed the biggest project in the world
00:04which would protect Europe
00:05against the rise of the level of the sea.
00:07These two huge barrages,
00:09reliant the Norway to the Ecosse
00:11and the Angleterre to France,
00:12would have a total of 637 km
00:15and completely surround the sea
00:17North.
00:18The scientists estimate that the level of the sea
00:21will increase between 84 cm
00:23and 2 m d'ici 2100.
00:25This would mean that in many
00:26areas in Germany, Denmark and the United States
00:30would be affected.
00:31But the most important country
00:32would be the Pays-Bas,
00:33which has already 26% of its territory
00:36located below the sea,
00:37so 10.000 km2,
00:39including the city of Amsterdam.
00:41The biggest challenge for the realisation
00:44of this mega-project
00:45would not necessarily be the length
00:46or the money,
00:47but the part of the barrages
00:49across the Norway.
00:51The total cost of the project
00:52would be estimated between 250
00:54and 500 billion euros.
00:56Comparé au canal du Panama,
00:58the length of this barrage
00:59would be six times more large.
