Water tunnel overflow

The upper field is full of water, and drains to our land via the water tunnel, because te channel overflowed. And flooded the garage, but only slightly. Flooded the terrace too, but luckily *just* not into the swimming pool.

Engineer Jansen blocked the channel, and dug trenches to drain away the water. And built a wall of stone blocks. Proving his proud Dutch heritage.


Can still see the water flow. This is later in the day, when it quieted down a lot already. Before it simply overflowed.


Three concrete blocks and a plastic bag, to force the water to overflow there, and not nearer the garage. The field is still under water.


Draining trench.


A water retaining wall.


Opened the gate to the other channels to drain away water that comes our way.


Only slightly muddy. The water is already gone here.


Who's got muddy paws then?
