High-water channel at Veessen-Wapenveld
Along the River Ijssel in the past years a large engineering project has taken place to give the river more "room" during periods of extreme high waters. In the area Veessen-Wapenveld a gulley has been created to lets waters in to farmland during high waters therefore relieving the River Ijssel. Electricity pylons placed on stilts for the eventuality that the land is flooded.
