I see a new conversation opening in Flanders about water management, and about time! I need to look more carefully into the #BlueDeal from the Flemish gov, but it is clear to many we cannot keep going as we did in the face of changing weather patterns (aka: climate change). https://bluedeal.integraalwaterbeleid.be/

Blue Deal
Dr. Tineke D'HaeseleerNov 18, 2023
We're safe and dry (indoors) here in East Flanders, but I do worry about the folks in the far western corner of Flanders, where the water keeps rising and authorities have encouraged evacuation. It is raining again, so whatever this news report says is already running behind the facts: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/2023/11/17/no-additional-flooding-expected-in-the-westhoek-area-of-west-fla/
#Flooding2023 #OverstromingWestVlaanderen
No additional flooding expected in the Westhoek area of West Flanders “but it depends on how much rain falls and where”

The situation with regard to flooding in the Westhoek area of West Flanders appear to have remained stable overnight with no reports of additional flood-related issues.
