(#6) North Sea Protection Works
A massive hydraulic engineering project undertaken by the Netherlands is collectively known as the "North Sea Protection Works," though it's really made up of two separate manmade systems of dams and water drainage – the Zuiderzee Works and the Delta works. The projects involved damming large, shallow inlets of the North Sea and thus, reclaiming land that would otherwise be underwater and unusable. The land is currently used for flood protection and agriculture. -

It's one of the most expensive objects ever built, providing 17.3% of all of Brazil's energy consumption and 72.5% of Paraguay's.
