In 1894
The Nieuwkoop steam pumping station is built at Korteraar to a design by W.C. and K. de Wit, fitted with two British Gwynnes centrifugal pumps. It takes over the drainage of the droogmakerij.
From 1823 to 1825
The river Aar is substantially improved and the Aarkanaal dug. The old bridge, the Duivelsbrug (Devil's Bridge), gives way to a wooden double-leaf drawbridge that comes to be called the Kattenbrug.

The Duivelssluis, the lock in the Aar beside the Duivelsbrug, falls out of use. A new complex of locks at the Tolhuis in Leimuiden takes its place.
Around 1873
The wind-driven drainage mills disappear one by one; steam pumping stations elsewhere take over their work.
Not all the mills go this early: the lower mill H of the Zevenhoven polder on the Ringdijk, built in 1810, stands until 1926.

The lower mill H of the Zevenhoven polder on the Ringdijk, built in 1810, disappears. What remains of it still stands and is in use as a house.
