Faced by the constant threat of floods, tulip farmers on the low-lying lands of the Netherlands have in recent years had to sign relief agreements stating that in the event of floods, they must surrender to the floodwaters, living with the waters rather than fighting against them.
荷蘭人近年已陸續將鬱金香花農撤出海埔新生地，對易淹水地區的農民則簽訂補助合約，在水災時需將農田「讓」出來作為氾洪區，種種「不與水爭」、「與水共生」的新思維，值得國人借鏡。
