Unpaved areas act like a sponge during heavy rainfall. This is certainly the case in large nature reserves. For example, it was calculated that Mechels Boek absorbed no less than 68 Olympic swimming pools of water between May 1 and September 30, 2021, during a very wet summer. That equals 169.6 million liters of water.
