The geographic feature in the Netherlands that most directly contributes to the presence of hundreds of canals, dams, and waterways is low-lying coastal lands. This is because much of the Netherlands is situated below sea level, and the country's extensive canal system was developed for water management, drainage, and transportation in its low-lying areas.
