The pumping station in Zwartsluis is working overtime to drain high water in Meppelerdiep

An exceptional situation, says Armando Grotenhuis RTV East. He is one of the people who keeps the pumping station running for the Drents Overijsselse Delta water board. “It’s all hands on deck, we have all been continuously busy over the past two weeks. Unfortunately also during the holidays. A little less so for the home front, but this is of course what we do it all for,” he says .
