The Oosterscheldekering (in English: Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier), in the Dutch province of Zeeland, is the largest of the Delta Works series of dams and storm surge barriers, designed to protect the Netherlands from flooding from the North Sea.
This storm surge barrier is a waterwork that can be opened or closed. It is only closed during heavy storms at high tide. The Dutch Deltaworks is the largest watermanagement project in the world.The construction of the Delta Works was in reaction to the North Sea catastrophic Flood of 1953 in Zeeland.
