The Netherlands where a third of its land is below sea level. Canals were naturally made through fight for survival against water. They work as air conditioning to cool down cities every summer. It is obvious building canals within several years will be a disaster, considering that it took hundreds of years to be what they are.

낮은 땅의 나라 네덜란드. 물과 싸우며 개척한 곳에 자연스럽게 생긴 운하들. 그들은 여름이면 도시의 에어컨으로서 기능을 하고 있다. 몇 백년에 걸쳐 이루어진 역사를 몇 년만에 끝낸다면 재앙이 될 것이 뻔하지 않겠나.
