But the works are not only necessary for flooding, but also for drought, when it has not rained for a long time. In the Westhoek, the banks of the Poperingevaart, the Grote Beverdijkvaart and the Bollaertbeek will be tackled. These works must be completed within three years. The 4.4 million euros comes from the Flemish Climate Fund, which itself receives money from the European pot of emission allowances.
