Groundwater

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

  • Adjusting groundwater

    A high water level in the ditch usually causes a higher groundwater level, while a low ditch level causes a lower groundwater level.

  • Responsible for groundwater

    Groundwater levels that are too high or too low can lead to flooding or water shortages. Who can you contact with your question or complaint?

  • The groundwater level

    The groundwater level is not the same everywhere and can also change. That is why there are rules for extracting groundwater.

  • The municipality and groundwater

    In the event of groundwater flooding in public spaces, the municipality will take measures where possible.
