Governor expands withdrawal prohibition from uncomfortable watercourses in East Flanders (inland)

The rain of recent days has not caused a long -term increase in water levels, the province reports. That is why the Governor of East Flanders has decided to introduce a temporary prohibition of withdrawal in six new withdrawal zones, in addition to the prohibition that had been in force in 41 withdrawal zones since 9 April. It concerns six withdrawal zones in Ghent, Laarne, Zwalm and Sint-Gillis-Waas.
