Windmills in Amsterdam were primarily built during the 17th century, a period marked by the Dutch Golden Age. The most renowned of these, such as the De Gooyer mill, were constructed to assist with drainage and grain milling. While some windmills date back to the late 16th century, they became more prominent in the landscape as the city expanded and developed its canal system. Today, these historic windmills are a key part of Amsterdam's cultural heritage.

The windmills in Ilocos Norte, Philippines, were primarily built by the Northwind Power Development Corporation. The project, which began in 2005, aimed to harness wind energy for renewable power generation. The Bangui Wind Farm, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, features 20 wind turbines along the coast of Bangui Bay and has since become a popular tourist attraction as well as a significant contributor to the region's energy supply.

1 How many windmills it takes to power a city depends on the amount and reliability of the wind, the power output of each windmill, and the power requirements of the city.
to pump water; to grind grain
They don't. They way windmills turn is based on their design and the prevailing winds where they are built. Windmills in Ireland are no different than others in the world.
....but in countries like The Netherlands which are partly below sea level, windmills are used to control the level of water.
