To make the municipality of Assen more sustainable, you can get a subsidy to disconnect rainwater. In Assen, in many places rainwater flows through the gutter and downspout or through the pavement and gullies directly into the sewer. This rainwater, which is relatively clean, can also be used to drain into the ground. As rainwater flows into the sewer system, the sewer system becomes overloaded during heavy showers. This causes flooding in the streets.<\/p>\n
Climate change is causing more frequent heavy rainfall and long periods of drought, both especially in summer. Allowing water to enter the ground in suitable areas with sandy soils is good for groundwater levels during dry periods. Where, due to the presence of a shallow loam layer, the soil is not suitable for rainwater to run into the ground, we recommend that rainwater be run directly into the soil.<\/p>\nFor whom.<\/h2>\n
