One of the many pumping stations in the region. Countless drainage canals crisscross the area; the water is pumped out, but also used to irrigate the fields. It looks like an industrial monument.

In the middle of the vast landscape stands one of the region's many pumping stations. A dense network of drainage ditches crisscrosses the area: the water is continuously drained away, while simultaneously being used to irrigate the surrounding fields. The facility itself, with its functional design, is reminiscent of a technical monument from a bygone era.

Just interesting building. Much more interesting are those gravels around it ;-)
