Bordering lakes

[1] Strictly speaking, these 'lakes' are not separated from each other, but are a continuous body of water between the old land and the new polder lands, consisting of lakes divided by straits, dams, locks, or in some cases just a bridge over narrow water.

[2] This was observed in the Noordoostpolder, Overijssel and Friesland to the east and between the Wieringermeerpolder and North Holland.

If a large enough bordering lake is created between polder and old land, the water pressure and level remain the same.

The Wieringerrandmeer project between the Wieringermeer and Wieringen is still under discussion with the province of North Holland.

The bordering lakes surrounding the Flevopolder offer opportunities for water sports and the creation of nature reserves.
