| 520 | _a"Het Haarlemmer-Meer-Boek" by J. Asz. Leeghwater is a historical account written in the early 17th century. This work details the conceptual plans and efforts surrounding the reclamation of the Haarlemmer Meer, a significant body of water in the Netherlands, aiming to convert it into usable land. Leeghwater, an influential figure in Dutch hydraulic engineering, is central to this narrative as he outlines the necessity and methods for combating the perennial threat posed by the expanding water. At the start of the book, the author introduces the pressing issue of the Haarlemmer Meer, which threatens to engulf surrounding land and disrupt local communities. Leeghwater emphasizes the urgency brought forth by the recent flooding and deteriorating dikes that protect farmland between Amsterdam and Haarlem. He reflects on historical instances where the water body has expanded over centuries, causing loss of fertile soil and exacerbating the risk to populous areas. Additionally, the opening portion sets the stage for Leeghwater’s proposed plan, along with discussions of prior efforts and the compelling need for a concerted initiative to reclaim the Haarlemmer Meer, underlining both its strategic and agricultural importance to the region.
