The Netherlands (The Dutch built the dikes):-)
The Dutch Created More land Using Dikes :)
Dutch people are German lowlanders. They survive by building dikes to keep out the North Sea.

Planting Tulips, carving wooden shoes, putting their fingers in Dikes...indulging in drugs and prostitution; both of which are legal .
They built barriers (called dikes) that held back the sea to create more land.
Building dikes in the Netherlands helps to prevent flooding by protecting low-lying areas from rising water levels. These dikes also help to regulate water levels in rivers and lakes, and create reclaimed land for agriculture and development. Ultimately, dikes play a crucial role in managing water resources and protecting communities from the impacts of sea-level rise and extreme weather events.
When the dikes gave way in the Netherlands, it resulted in widespread flooding of the agricultural lands. This caused significant damage to the farms, crops, and livestock, leading to economic losses for the farmers and the local communities. Efforts were made to repair the dikes and prevent future flooding through advancements in water management techniques.
They first build dikes around some immersed land, then pump the water out of it (formerly using windmills), then use it for growing crops.
The Dutch call their area of land reclaimed from the sea "polders." These are low-lying lands enclosed by dikes where water is drained to create arable land. Polders are a notable feature of the Dutch landscape and have helped expand their habitable territory.
Dikes and sills are intrusions.
They needed dikes to control flooding.
