Because our country is very wet a lot of farmers decided to put drainage tubes in their fields giving the soil less time to suck up rainwater and leaving behind a slightly moist top soil while everything under the tubes remain dry
Poor water management, a lot of agriculture, and a large percentage of surface area being paved leads to our soil not absorbing enough water compared to what’s being used.
Lots of concrete, high degree of urbanization in the country as a whole.
Personally I’d like the government to invest in an additionally nuclear plant to power one or two desalination stations in the north sea. Best time to built these things is today and we are spending far more money on leas useful things.
Population density.
We have a lot of people per km2 without having vast stretches of land to refill the groundwater table.
Construction.
Too much concrete. This is why so many are advocating for “ontharden”. it’s extremely important to allow rain to penetrate the soil.
In the Netherlands, the infrastructure is better, they live in clusters with green in between. While we just build everywhere we can which is terrible for groundwater among many other reasons.
Well, most of the territory is heavily urbanized, especially Flanders, having one of the biggest population density in Europe

Maybe the old style agriculture but in the south of the country after serious drought some years ago now the soil is drenched, even in woodlands where u can find small marshy ponds, the aquifer seems to be getting back to good historic level, the problem is up north where they don’t have that subterranean water reserves, the numbers might just be outdated.
No supply of melt water from mountains and dependant on rain
I’m not an expert but seen reports previously saying it was due to poor water infrastructure. There is a lack of reservoirs and water storage in Belgium. So while there is plenty of water during wet season, there isn’t a reserve for the dry times. As climate change progresses there will be more wet and more dry but without the storage Belgium will have water management problems. There will be drier countries with less of a problem because of their infrastructure. Building the infrastructure will solve the problem in Belgium when many of the other countries on the map will have a lack of water all year round and isn’t so much about infrastructure but infrastructure is helpful.
