Polder system

The Polder system is a Dutch method of land management that involves creating and maintaining low-lying areas, called polders, by using dikes, draining pumps, and sluices. This system allows water to be controlled and kept out of these reclaimed lands, making them suitable for agriculture, settlement, and development. Essentially, it transforms areas that are naturally prone to flooding into habitable and usable land by managing water levels meticulously. The Polder system exemplifies advanced hydraulic engineering and careful water management to harness and control nature for human benefit.
