Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Dutch are well-known for their polders. They have reclaimed sea beds using this technique, holding back the sea with large dyke systems and pumps that were once powered by windmills. Other polders can be built to reclaim land from lakes, rivers, or bogs.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main consequences due to the polder mechanisms are to provoke the “primary” muddy sediment-to-soil evolution by desiccation, consolidation, and maturation of the clay-rich material.
