However, the rain is also very welcome here. Because a lot of precipitation is expected, we keep a close eye on whether the water causes any nuisance anywhere. But for the time being, everything is going well, the water boards say. “And if it really gets too much water, we have a few water storage facilities, for example at Montfoort and along the Grecht. We can then fill it up. But we really only do that in emergency situations and I don’t expect that this afternoon. Moreover, it is the breeding season, so we should not just let those pieces of polder that function as a kind of bathtub become flooded.”
After the drought, finally rain, but how do you keep it in the soil?
