Most of the ground water in the western part of the Netherlands is undrinkable due to saltwater infiltration of the land, which is well below sea level. Since the city of Rotterdam must, therefore, depend on surface water, largely that of the Rhine, the maintenance of quality in holding reservoirs is important, especially in light of increased industrial pollution of the Rhine.
