We always being build and repair something in the country. Here they make/repair a ditch. In the pic. above you clearly can see that they are connected by pipes. The dam allow me too park the car and to get on the field. Like the farmer do with it`s exipment . The pic. right below the drain tubes. Those are the start and end of the water management as soon as they are dug in.
There is a lot of thought and engineering that goes into this- it's not something you'd think of when you see the ditches, but this collage really shows it.
A nice lesson on farming in Holland. By now I am very impressed with the seriousness with which land for cultivation is cared for. Three lovely shot always in the way water is managed around the fields.
