The area of the Netherlands, which is a small country with 41 thousand 528 square kilometers. Nederland, meaning “low land” in its own language, is 26 percent or a quarter below sea level. About half of the population lives in these regions below sea level. 50 percent of the country’s land is only one meter above or below sea level. The highest point in the country, Vaalserberg, is only 322 meters high.
And again, 20% of the country’s land consists of lands reclaimed from the sea and lakes.
In the Netherlands, which has developed various techniques to live with and benefit from water throughout history, there is a system consisting of thousands of levees and canals spread all over the country. The Netherlands, which is almost a water country, looks like a patch with its lands and ponds divided by levees and converted from water. In other words, a Netherlands without a set is unthinkable. There is a proverb in the country that “God created the world and the Dutch created the Netherlands”.
