About

A machine from the Rijksdienst voor de IJsselmeer Polders is digging ditches in the Zuidelijk Flevoland polder, which was first drained in 1968 due to reclamation, to improve drainage. On the polder are parts of aircrafts that crashed in WWII. Following KNMI's indication of the direction of the wind, reeds are set alight on 4000 hectares. The reeds helped reclaim the polder. With archival material from the reclamation of the polder Zuidelijk Flevoland.
