The Dokkumergrootdiep (in Frisian: Dokkumer Grutdjip) and its lower reaches, called the Dokkumerdiep (Frisian: Dokkumer Djip), used to be the connection between the city of Dokkum and the open sea. The grootdiep was a narrow inlet that flowed westward from the Lauwerszee to Dokkum. Even before the first dikes were built, the Dokkumergrootdiep served as the drainage channel for the central part of Oostergo.
