High water level

(01-02-04) The water level in the canals increased considerably by the large quantity of rain water which has fallen last few days in combination with hard wind and melted snow. The water in the Trekvaart went so high that some pastures had been floodedded. Below two photographs of some flooded pastures. The upper photograph shows that the Trekvaart has stepped outside the banks ( see also winterpicture 4 ), the second photograph shows some plots country along the Eelke Meinertswei near Westergeest.
