Pumping water required ever more powerfull machine as wind mills are not very effective....  
So soon we build ever larger pumping stations

But how do we cross all the -drainage-canals and rivers?

Air may be light, it does have mass. And when you go fast enough.....

Great pics!!

In the US, the Politburo would have had KGB agents out there to violate as many constitutional amendments and orifices as possible for engaging in such clearly terrorist activities as taking pictures of airplanes   :mad:   

That pumping station looks like a castle!

On the few occasions I was there, you would see a police car approaching, rides a lap in the car park and leave again. If you want to get close to the action, go the Sint Maarten, one of the Dutch Antilles....

The inside it even more impressive with the pumps being powered by large steam engines.
