The Low Countries are highly susceptible to flooding, and the many disastrous floods that happened between the 11th and 14th centuries led to the creation of the Zuiderzee. This excessive flooding also caused coastal soils to become uselessly salinated. Thankfully, we now have the technology to reclaim this damaged land and use it productively for agriculture.
