The Netherlands Texas Business Association would like to invite you to a special Networking Event with Featured Guest Speaker:
Eighteen months after the Hurricane Ike's 20-foot storm surge devastated Galveston, Texas, and surrounding areas, local governments are in the midst of making a decision about the proposed "Ike Dike" - an expansion of the existing Galveston Seawall.The Ike Dike, as proposed by professor William Merrell, would extend the existing seawall by over 50 miles and add floodgates that would close before an approaching hurricane. The idea is based on the Delta Works, a series of dams and barriers that protect the southwest Netherlands from storm surge and coastal flooding.
