The drainage Of the inland lake Of
$4,000 acres formed north of Amster-
dam by the disastrous floods Of Janu-
ary last has been completed, save for
one or two of the deeper "polders"
or basins In the area in question. The
construction and installation OF the
giant pumping plant on the restored
Zuider Zee dikes was carried out In
four weeks, and the actual pumping
took another four, so that the problem
Of removing something like 2OO,OOO,OO0
cubic meters Of water was dealt with
in a matter of two months only. So
far as Dutch engineers are aware, this
is an uneQualed feat In any other coun-
try In the world. The advance made
by modern photographic engineering
may be gathered from the fact that af-
ter the floods Of February. 1925, the
draining took until July, 1926, lasting
thus period of II months.
