About this episode

By 2050, 1,500 kilometers of dikes must be reinforced in the Netherlands. Our country is vulnerable now that sea levels are rising and the risk of extreme weather is increasing. But what if things go wrong during the work? When houses crack, they subside and some homes even threaten to become uninhabitable, such as the South Holland Lekdijk. Residents have been waiting for compensation for years. What lessons can be learned? An urgent question in view of the major dike reinforcement task that is yet to come.
