Preventive measures against excavation damage
Waterschap Brabantse Delta intends to take preventive measures against excavation damage on dike sections from Waalwijk to Willemstad. A distinction is made between high-risk and lower-risk sections, where damage is expected to occur within 2 to 5 years. The works will be carried out in short, scattered segments. The measures include flattening slopes or installing mesh, depending on feasibility regarding accessibility and equipment. All measures must comply with legislation concerning protected species such as beaver, badger, and muskrat. The contract is open and focused on works. The focus is on maintaining water safety and ensuring the duty of care of the water board.

Animal burrows are increasingly being observed in the habitat of Waterschap Brabantse Delta. This can lead to conflicts regarding water safety. Burrowing animal species can dig tunnels in the dike, causing the dike to lose its stability. In the worst-case scenario, the dike may no longer be able to hold back the water.
