Subtypes Waterboards - Droogmakerijen
A droogmakerij is a polder, created in a drainage project out of a natural lake or out of broad meres. Most of them are found in the provinces Holland and Utrecht, although they are a minority compared to the more common ‘polder’. Contrary to polders they, just like the bedijkingen, do have a written foundation document marking the start of their existence. Droogmakerijen, bedijkingen, and (old) polders all share the following characteristic that distinguishes them from ordinary lands: they are areas in which the level of the water can artificially be controlled, independently of its surroundings.
