Tratto da Mapporn, questo è il primo che ne ho sentito parlare. Voglio dire, so che le persone che lavorano in agricoltura si lamentano sempre di troppa pioggia, non abbastanza pioggia e le nostre acque sotterranee sono troppo basse, ma che siamo le più colpite in Europa, non lo sapevo

Few natural sources, a lot of ground is built upon, we do everything in our power to make sure water goes as fast as possible to the sea.
De betonering van Vlaanderen is een heel grote faktoor hier in. Verder spelen de langer wordende droogte periodes steeds meer mee.
Oftewel, de regenval.wordt onregelmatiger en tegelijker tijd stroomt het water heel snel weg naar de zee.
Because of the tears from the Belgian inhabitants.
Our infrastructure is made to get rid of water since we historically had too much. Combined with no major freshwater lakes and high population density plus intensive agriculture.
Our water management structure isn’t based on retaining water, it’s about getting rid of it as quickly as possible to prevent repeats of historic floods. Folks will definitely shout about concrete coverage in here but that’s not the biggest factor: what they fail to realise is that we actively drain fields into creeks with drainage pipes and then try to get that into rivers and canals as quickly as possible to prevent flooding, etc. As a result the water doesn’t really have a chance to seep into the ground. Additionally, this is also necessary to maintain the water levels in some canals used for shipping, which adds to the complexity of changing water management practices.
Additionally, Belgium has a lot of very water intensive industries (steel, chemistry, electronics, etc.) combined with a relatively high population density on average.
