To create overflow area's without flooding the rest of the land they build a dike around the area that they want to flood. During a flood this will prevent the water from reaching too far. Often they have small canals and ditches that already divide the land inside and outside the overflow area's and they use pumps (or one of the culturally maintained windmills) to pump the water away and let those ditches and canals increase the flow capacity. | |
