How does this work? Wouldn’t even a light rainfall cause it to flood in on itself?
It would have drainage on a slope that goes to somewhere even lower.
The bridge is waterproof and the water is a moat. You can find more info about it here.
I appreciate that, but even waterproof things can be underwater and moat water can rise. I’m curious about how the drainage works.
Dutch people really hate water huh
What’s this Minecraft world’s seed?
That looks like a neat experience until there’s a slight breeze.
Double dam
And if it floods then…?
it doesn’t flood, this is the netherlands
Holy shit this comment fucking killed me. It’s so funny.
I understand that a flood in the Netherlands would spell catastrophe but it sounds like the water just can’t flood there, because it is the Netherlands, not because of the amazing stuff that they built
Why do you think water evaporates in the mincraft nether?
The water could flood, but it knows it would be met with swift draining of another polder in retaliation.
The sea simply behaves out of sheer intimidation.
It definitely just gets accepted as a fact of life that the Dutch water works just fucking work.
Then you go around, duh.
I imagine that the footpath has holes at the bottom to allow any excess water to drain out.
That would just make it flood through those holes.
Woooosh
Wow. There is very small margin for overflowing here…
Don’t worry the Dutch know what they’re doing when it comes to water.
That just adds to the fun.
There’s probably an overflow spillway for the whole pond out of frame.
Correct. That bridge is meant to flex on water control. This is near a place that is susceptible to river floods.
Truman Show IRL
Is there an underpass for fish and such?
Naw, fish can jump over or pound sand.
No, there’s a fish bridge just off scene.
Now they are just mocking climate change and the rising seas, and asking some eldritch sea gods to punish them.
What the fuck is this place. The hills look like a PS1 game
Not a hill, its a levee
What happens if it breaks?
Amazing music!
Looks like the hill has fur
🎵 a cut-out bridge beneath, hills with the furrrr… 🎶
The Netherlands is the PS1
I was thinking Sketchfab
I feel like that shit floods every time it rains lol. I’m curious how they would drain it.
Just drill drain holes in the bottom. Duh! Oh wait…
I assumed it was like an infinity pool were any water that goes over the edge is caught and drained. In this case, using a pump to either put it back in the water part, or in some kind of holding tank to handle heavy rains and stuff.
Congratulations on being the smartest person in this thread so far, no one else has apparently ever heard of a pump before
I not proud my internal dialog went exactly like that.
how they would drain it.
Since a lot of land is below sea level, the Netherlands basically dry pump their country all the time anyway.
So it’s the Berlin Wall for fish…
“Fuck you fish” -The Dutch apparently
Is it a “bridge” though?
It’s a bridge too far
deleted by creator
Don’t look a bridge horse in the mouth
or too low
It do b ridge
Feels like it’s more of a “trough” than anything else.
It’s a dam.
You are dam right.
🤓
I’m going to get a pet beaver and name it God, so I can yell “God, dam it!” with impunity.
Double dyke dam?
