Solution

Polder

Explanation:

A polder is a piece of land that has been reclaimed from the sea or a lake by constructing dikes (embankments) to prevent flooding and draining the water. This process creates fertile land that can be used for agriculture or other purposes. It is commonly seen in countries like Netherlands and Bangladesh.
