Hoogwater

Overview

Flooded streets and underwater basements: flooding is becoming increasingly common in large parts of the Netherlands. For example, in 2021, tens of thousands of households in Limburg experienced a devastating flood. Houses were flooded and in the city of Valkenburg alone, 2,300 houses were damaged and 700 homes were temporarily uninhabitable. More than two and a half years after the driveway, we are talking to residents and administrators in Limburg. Are sufficient measures being taken to prevent a flood in the future as much as possible?
