Municipality of Heemskerk: Blue-green measures Holle Beeck

On the Vrijburglaan in Heemskerk there will be blue-green measures. Part of this is raising and adjusting the shape of the weirs. After adjusting the weirs, the water will be retained more so that, during larger rain showers, use will be made of the available water storage. With the proposed adjustable weir, the water from the Holle Beeck will be better distributed over the urban area. It will also make the area more natural, providing more shade and allowing evaporation to take place. The total cost of this project is €504,000, of which an amount of €100,00 has been granted from the KAN scheme. The project will be completed by the end of 2025.
