Polder refers to a low-lying stretch of land surrounded by embankments known as dikes
Dikes and levees prevent flooding by forming a barrier against rising waters.
The South American country that uses dikes to preserve land is Suriname. Other countries use dikes to preserve land as well, but Suriname is the most famous.

polder
Polders are low-lying plots of land protected by dikes from a body of water. Chinampas are built up plots or "floating gardens" surrounded by water.
Since they're surrounded by water/coastal areas, they made polders and dikes.

Polders are areas of low-lying land that have been reclaimed from the sea or rivers and are protected by dikes or walls to prevent flooding. They are common in countries like the Netherlands and are used for agriculture or residential purposes. Drainage systems are essential to keep polders dry and usable.
Polders are generally associated with The Netherlands (Holland). They are low-lying tracts of land enclosed by embankments (barriers) known as dikes that form artificial hydrological entities.
There are over a dozen countries that have polders, but Holland (also known as the Netherlands) has the most and is the country most famous for them. Because so much of the land lies below sea level, it is necessary to build dikes or embankments to hold back the ocean water and prevent flooding. The Dutch first started building polders about a thousand years ago and there are now about 3,000 in their country. Polders are low lying tracts of land usually protected by embankments or dikes. Comes from a Dutch word 'poire' Land claimed from water covered sources, lakes and seas.
They first build dikes around some immersed land, then pump the water out of it (formerly using windmills), then use it for growing crops.
The Dutch call their area of land reclaimed from the sea "polders." These are low-lying lands enclosed by dikes where water is drained to create arable land. Polders are a notable feature of the Dutch landscape and have helped expand their habitable territory.
The areas of the Netherlands that were once under water and now are land are called "polders". These are protected from being flooded with seawater by a system of dikes, canals, and windmills. There is a saying in the Netherlands that "God made the earth, but the Dutch made the Netherlands". Many people in the Netherlands live on land that is younger than they are.
