Scenarios about 'polders'
Polders are reclaimed land areas created by draining water from marshes, lakes, or seabeds using elaborate systems of dikes, canals, and pumps, most famously developed in the Netherlands. This centuries-old land reclamation technique has allowed the Dutch to expand their habitable territory despite being partially below sea level, demonstrating human ingenuity in environmental engineering and adaptation to geographical limitations.
