    Water catchment basin

    The Munsscheput in Margraten and surrounding areas in South Limburg have experienced severe flooding in the past, particularly during extreme rainfall.

    • 2021 Floods: During the floods in Limburg in July 2021, more than 150 millimeters of rain fell in parts of South Limburg, leading to the overflowing of streams and severe flooding in various municipalities, including the area near Margraten.

    • Flooding: The area around Margraten and surrounding villages in the region is known for the risk of flooding due to the hilly terrain and heavy precipitation, causing streets to become submerged and manholes to rise.
