It would not mater how good the defences are because the "big one" will always get through. The Dutch have had centuries of practice at building defences but still get caught out. As the reclaimed land is so fertile then man will always try his luck to make a buck. London may have the Thames barrier but thats no guarantee against flooding as there are still the feeder rivers.
