Caption: WINDMILL KRIMPENERWAARD DAIRYLAND
Booklet Description: 21 THE KRIMPENERWAARD'S rich and verdant dairyland still depends upon the windmill to drain the water from its sunken polderlands. Although the areas now being reclaimed are kept dry by pumps, some 1,300 windmills still do a day's work. In the earliest days, men bailed out their lands by buckets, emptying the water over the edge of the crude dikes. Then came a hand-worked mill with buckets fastened to wooden wheels. The windmill followed, becoming the symbol of Holland.
