The '''Mill Network at Kinderdijk-Elshout''' is an outstanding contribution made by the people of the Netherlands to the technology of handling water is admirably demonstrated by the installations in the Kinderdijk-Elshout area. Construction of hydraulic works for the drainage of land for [[agriculture]] and [[settlement]] began in the [[Middle Ages]] and have continued uninterruptedly to the present day. The site illustrates all the typical features associated with this technology – dykes, reservoirs, pumping stations, administrative buildings and a series of beautifully preserved windmills.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/818</ref>
