This historical system of irrigation was installed in several places in the east of the Netherlands and is an important part of the agricultural history of our country. The smart hydrological system of streams, ditches and dams that was built to enrich the poor sandy soils and thereby increase the grass and hay yield is still ‘hidden’ in a number of places. With the nomination for the unesco list of intangible heritage, hopefully more attention will be paid to this ingenious water system., UL https://www.aup-online.com/content/journals/10.5117/THG2022.4.002.HORS
