No more temporary withdrawal bans in the province of Antwerp
dhe decides to establish the province and the Flemish environmental company expelled from the province and the Flemish environmental company expelled from the Flemish environmental company from the water levels above the original minimum threshold.

Shortage not yet eliminated
“The monthly deficit of September is far from being eliminated”, Berx knows. “Water levels in the watercourses are no longer undercut, but nevertheless remain quite low. Groundwater also remains very low for the time of year. Future services therefore continue to closely monitor the state of the water system.”
In all ecologically very vulnerable small funds, a permanent withdrawal ban has been in place since the beginning of this year. It is not keyed in. It is said that even when it is less dry, the fauna and flora must be protected.
In concrete terms, an abstraction ban means that no water may be pumped out. There are some exceptions possible. In any case, it does not apply to navigable waterways.
