On the border of Groningen and Friesland you will find the R.J. Clevering sluices. After the storm surge of 1953, it was decided to strengthen the Dutch coastline. In 1960, the cabinet decided to close off the Lauwerszee by constructing a 13 km long closing dike, which would create the Lauwersmeer. The Lauwers locks were built to ensure drainage. On May 23, 1969, the Lauwerszee was finally closed under the watchful eye of Queen Juliana. In 2007 the name of the Lauwers locks was changed to the current name R.J. Clevering sluices.

The drainage locks are actually no more than 12 large concrete tubes under the dike, so that the water from the Lauwersmeer can flow into the Wadden Sea at low tide. Each pipe is 10 meters wide, so the total flow width is 120 meters. When the locks are open, a vortex of approx. 65 meters in length and 9 meters in width is created. The drainage sluice and the lock sluice for the entrance and exit of ships were both completed in 1967 (Wikipedia).
