The word climate buffer (”klimaatbuffer”) is thought to have a great future in The Netherlands.

This is because The Netherlands, like its translation Low Countries says, is below sealevel and therefore quite vulnerable for the flooding of parts of the country. Selected areas are needed to be used to act as a buffer. At least this is the idea.
Territories can serve as reservoirs for rainfall.

I am not sure…
