Since October 9, you can find out at Museum Kruithuis. A new public groundwater meter has been installed here, showing the current groundwater levels under the city. A unique addition to a place where the history of water and the fortified city come together.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A special gift<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The groundwater meter is a gift from the Den Bosch-based company <strong>Miltop<\/strong> to <strong>Kring Vrienden van \u2019s-Hertogenbosch<\/strong>. Miltop specializes in soil and groundwater issues and hopes this donation will raise awareness about the importance of groundwater.<\/p>\n<p>Although we can&#8217;t see groundwater with the naked eye, it plays a vital role in our environment. The new meter makes the groundwater level visible, allowing you to discover how prolonged drought or heavy rainfall affects the water beneath our feet.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Water: from the past to the present<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Water and \u2019s-Hertogenbosch have been inextricably linked for centuries. The marshy landscape surrounding the city once served as a natural defense, earning Den Bosch the nickname <strong>Swamp Dragon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Water still plays a major role today. How do we deal with drought and heavy rainfall? And how do we ensure there is enough clean water for the future?<\/p>\n<p>The groundwater meter fits perfectly with the story of Museum Kruithuis, where visitors discover how the fortified city developed through the ages. This gives the historical story of water a modern-day relevance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Combine your visit with the water walk<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Want to discover even more about the water in Den Bosch?
