This study evaluates the effects of retention orifices on water management in the Beerze and Reuzel sandy region, along the Belgium-Netherlands border. Utilizing the SIMGRO model, we analyze the orifice design, discharge dynamics, and potential benefits, including reduced peak flow and increased water table heights. Results indicate the need for careful planning, as improper configuration may lead to increased peak discharges. Ultimately, our findings highlight the complexities and considerations necessary for effective water retention strategies in this unique landscape.

Conclusion • Reduction of the peek flow can be obtained • Increase in water table height is a possible side effect • For extreme peeks an increase in peek discharge is possible • Careful planning is necessary
