Cambridgeshire
Cambridgeshire, located in East Anglia, UK, is known for its flat and fertile landscape, which is dominated by fenlands. The fenlands are a unique feature of the region and have a rich history of water management. The area was initially a vast marshland with unpredictable floods and tides. However, over the centuries, the people of Cambridgeshire developed a complex system of dykes, drainage channels, and pumps to control the water levels and reclaim the land for farming. The famous drainage channels, such as the Old Bedford River and the New Bedford River, were built in the 17th century, and they remain a vital part of the region’s infrastructure. Today, the fenlands of Cambridgeshire are a thriving agricultural hub, thanks to the ingenuity and hard work of the people who managed the water in the past.
