Delta Works The Delta Works (Dutch: "Deltawerken" ) is a series of construction projects in the southwest of the Netherlands to protect a large area of land around the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta from the sea.

Meurthe (river) The Meurthe (] ) is a river in north-eastern France, right tributary to the river Moselle. Its source is in the Vosges mountains, near the Col de la Schlucht in the Vosges département, from where it flows in an overall north-westerly direction. Its name gave rise to the naming of the present French "département" Meurthe-et-Moselle and the former (before the change in the Franco-German border after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870) "département" Meurthe.
