History of a Polder
Published on by Red Schonewille, senior geohydrologist at redsan geohydrology in Non Profit
In the beginning, the water cycle is dominant.
The moon is controlling the tides and the sun determinates the rivers discharge.
The West is a tidal basin at that time.
The tidal basin is filled with clay and peat.
From the Middle-ages the peat was used for heating.
Many lakes were formed by man.
And turned to polders.
