Groundwater

When it rains, some of the water sinks into the ground. It then flows slowly through the soil into a ditch. Health for groundwater is important for a safe and pleasant living environment.

  • Groundwater Adjustment

    A high water level in the ditch usually results in a higher groundwater level; a low ditch level results in a lower groundwater level.

  • Responsible for groundwater

    A groundwater level that is too high or too low can lead to flooding or water shortage. Who can you contact with your question or complaint?

  • The groundwater level

    Groundwater levels are not the same everywhere and can change. This is why there are rules for groundwater extraction.

  • The municipality and groundwater

    When groundwater flooding occurs in public areas, the municipality takes action if it can.
