to wet the land
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!
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.
Holland is a region in the Netherlands made up of the provinces, North Holland and South Holland. The name Holland is often used (incorrectly) instead of the official name of the country, The Netherlands.
If 'Holland' refers to the Netherlands, then the nicknames would be 'Nokum' and 'Venice of the North'.
Holland's total area is 5,488,184,790 square meters.
A polder is a low lying tract of land that is commonly seen along river embankments. The people of Holland built polders as a way to keep the water from flooding their low lying land.
Many of these Dutch Polders where created to increase the safety of the people living near the lakes

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.

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.
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.
De polders - 1950 is rated/received certificates of: Belgium:KT
They first build dikes around some immersed land, then pump the water out of it (formerly using windmills), then use it for growing crops.
they are both used for farming and their useful :)! the polders are not triangular they are like a normal land. just flat:)! -
