A polder is a low-lying tract of land enclosed by embankments (barriers) known as dikes that forms an artificial hydrological entity, meaning it has no connection with outside water other than through manually operated devices. There are three types of polder:
The ground level in drained marshes subsides over time. All polders will eventually be below the surrounding water level some or all of the time. Water enters the low-lying polder through water pressure of ground water, or rainfall, or transport of water by rivers and canals. This usually means that the polder has an excess of water, which is pumped out or drained by opening sluices at low tide. Care must be taken not to set the internal water level too low. Polder land made up of peat (former marshland) will sink in relation to its previous level, because of peat decomposing in dry conditions.
More info about travel to the Netherlands: https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/netherlands Holland's polder land was once covered by the sea, but it was eventually encircled by dikes and dams, then drained. To pump out all that water, the Dutch used one of their leading natural resources: the wind.

The Netherlands is known for its polders. Approximately one third of the Netherlands lies under sea level. Dams, dikes and sluices keep the water out, and pumping stations ensure that the groundwater remains at safe levels. This water level is expressed NAP (Normaal Amsterdams Peil -- Normal Amsterdam Water Level).
La chaine officielle de l'émission de France 3. C'est pas sorcier, le magazine de la découverte et de la science. Les Pays-Bas méritent bien leur nom. Leur surface est complètement plate. Pas de montagnes, pas de collines ! En Néerlandais, Hol-land signifie même pays creux. En fait, 24% de sa surface se situe sous le niveau de la mer. Le pays est tellement plat que l'homme a du construire partout des digues pour se protéger des inondations qui le menacent en permanence. Fred et Jamy nous expliquent tout sur cette lutte audacieuse de l'homme contre les eaux. Pourquoi la situation topographique du pays favorise-t-elle les inondations ? Comment assure-t-on la solidité des digues qui protègent la terre des assauts de la mer ? Comment procède-t-on pour assécher le sol de ce qui deviendra ensu...
HDB will use a new method to reclaim land to add 810 hectares to Pulau Tekong at its north-western tip by 2022. The polder development method needs less sand, and has minimal impact on the marine life and environment. Watch the video to find out more.

Endlich ist es da, das neue Hochwasserkonzept für die schwäbischen Gemeinden entlang der Donau. Doch was Umweltministerin Ulrike Scharf da ausgetüftelt hat, versetzt manche Kommune in helle Aufregung: Leipheim etwa, vor zwei Jahren als Polderstandort noch nicht im Fokus, soll nun ein Rückhaltebecken für 12 Millionen Kubikmeter Wasser bekommen. War der Widerstand zu gering? Oder haben die Leipheimer einfach zu wenig Flächen verbaut und somit am meisten Platz? Ist der Kampf gegen die Polder gar ein einziges Strategiespiel?

A man travels through his senses, and through the other's body, discovers his own. Stills photography by Tommy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tgkw/sets/72157622585710303/show/ Behind the scenes Here is the story. A little crazy. My producer in France told me about a contest made by Louis Vuitton around the theme "What a journey means to you ?". But, we were October 15th and the deadline was two weeks later. She suggested me to create an original content. But in such a short time, the only thing I replied was "No way !" And that's precisely when I said that, that I swore I would do something. I needed some serious help to pull out something so fast. I called my friend Denis, and moved to his appartment in Brussels. Together, in a day and half, we found several ideas. The next day, we ...
We went to Los Angeles to shoot a documentary/ music video for the Dutch indie band ‘TIKA’. We battled the crazy heat that kept this city in a ferm grip and followed actor Carel Struycken (The Adams Family, Star Trek, Het Paard van Sinterklaas) on his journey from ‘the best that civilisation has to offer’ to the wildest of nature. It took us to the middle of Californian deserts, through mountain ranges and past lakes. FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE is a short documentary disguised as a music video made for the for Dutch indie band Tika, consisting of Moss and El Pino. The film explores the increasing unease many people feel with modern society. This feeling is portrayed through the eyes of ‘giant’ Carel Struycken, who rose to fame by playing iconic freaks in pop culture, such as Lurch in the Adam...

Deep in the forest, the solid woods do tremble
The earth shakes by the sound of his chant
A vision of grandeur, a sight of strength and justice
Haunting the dead, warning the living
Pain is an illusion of the senses
Despair is an illusion of the weak mind
Now you're a warrior, raise the flag - united !
Never turn your back for cowardice equals crime
Now life is a prison, a cage that weighs upon him
There lies his duty, a work without redemption
"Now set them free, your sword's the key you're holding
Then you yourself shall once be released?"
Every single man is
a spark in the darkness
By Time he is noticed
and then gone forever
Enough of this talking
As I storm towards you
