For centuries, the windmills of Kinderdijk have helped achieve a marvel of technology. As their sails turn, the old giants drain the polder soil, preventing the towns and villages of South Holland from sinking away. This is why the old Drechtsteden cities owe their fame and fortune to our water management, as do the world ports of Rotterdam.
