Land that is reclaimed by diking and draining is called a Polder
The Netherlands has benefited from polders. Polders are low-lying areas of land that are enclosed by dykes and drained of water through a system of pumps and canals, allowing the Dutch to reclaim land from the sea for agriculture and development.
The Netherlands is known for its intricate system of canals and pumps that drain water and create polders, which are low-lying areas reclaimed from the sea. This engineering marvel allows the Dutch to live and farm below sea level.
Land below sea level is exactly that, inland valleys and lowlands that are lower than the sea. In America, many places in California and in particular, Death Valley. In the middle east, the Jordan Valley including sea of Galilee and city of Jericho, the lowest city in the world at around -800 feet

Polders affect low-lying coastal areas by converting them into reclaimed land used for agriculture or settlement. These areas are typically vulnerable to flooding, making polders an effective way to reclaim land for human use.
Netherlands are the only country in Europe with Polders.
De polders - 1950 is rated/received certificates of: Belgium:KT
they are both used for farming and their useful :)! the polders are not triangular they are like a normal land. just flat:)! -
in the Netherlands we call reclaimed land "polders"

Polders are a type of dike that prevents water flow flooding places that are lower than the surrounding water level. The construction of polders therefore effectively "creates" new land by opening up land previously covered by water.
