Water inspectors in Noord-Brabant are being threatened for enforcing drought rules that ban water extraction from streams and ditches between 9 AM and 9 PM—so serious it’s drawn police involvement. The Brabantse Delta water board, covering vast territory, says the threats are unacceptable and that its staff, working daily to manage a critical water shortage, deserve protection. The board chair stands firmly behind his team, calling the behavior “messed up” and emphasizing their good intentions. This incident underscores how deeply some residents resist even minor conservation measures—and how enforcement personnel often bear the brunt of public backlash.
