Waterways of the Netherlands

THE Netherlands is a small nation, about 300km long and only 160km wide in most places. The total area is 25 500km. But the Netherlands has more rivers and canals than nations many times its size. If all the rivers and canals of this country were laid end to end, they would stretch about 6 400km. No nation in Europe uses rivers and canals more for transportation than the Netherlands. - bigsiteofamazingfacts.com; wikipedia.org; education-world.com
