Dike-coupures and shot-beam booths...

This file contains dike-coupures and shot beam houses located within the province of Groningen. Denominations are passageways through slaper dikes at ground level. The province of Groningen focuses on the preservation and possible restoration of landscaped and culturally historically valuable dikes and the related elements such as stools, drinking dobs, denominations and shot bar sheds. These mainly old sleeper dikes are characteristic of the Eemsdelta, the Oldambt and the Wadden Coast. The old dikes can be affected by agricultural use, in particular by levelling and rupturing of grassland. Filling and closing the spools and drinking dobs, and breaking down denominations and shot bar sheds is also a loss of its characteristic value. To avoid this, the Provincial Environment Regulation 2016 lays down rules for the protection of the old dikes and the related supporting elements. Schotbalken booths occur at the dikes in connection with the denominations, which can be closed with the beams in the bulkhead beam booth in the event of a threat of high water. This file is part of the following files: dikes, flukes and denominations.
