Holland built polders to reclaim land from the sea and create more arable land for agriculture, reduce the risk of flooding, and allow for urban development in low-lying areas. Polders also helped manage water levels and served as a defense mechanism against rising sea levels.
That land is called a polder. Polders are created by draining water from low-lying areas, typically with the help of dikes and pumps. They are common in countries with extensive low-lying areas like the Netherlands.
Canada holds the title for the world's longest continual coastline, stretching over 202,080 kilometers along its borders.
The song "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" was originally sung by Tiny Tim and the Netherlands is known for its beautiful tulip fields and polders. So, you are most likely visiting a polder in the Netherlands while singing the song. Enjoy your trip!

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.
