R.J. Cleveringsluizen, Drainage lock system in Lauwersoog, Netherlands.
The R.J. Cleveringsluizen consists of three structures with twelve sluice channels managing water flow between the Lauwersmeer and Wadden Sea.
The sluice complex, constructed in 1969 during the Lauwerszee closure project, received its current name in 2007 honoring chairman R.J. Clevering.
The facility demonstrates Dutch engineering excellence in water management through its sophisticated system of gates, pulleys, and control mechanisms.
Regular maintenance operations occur yearly, with each of the twelve sluices undergoing drainage, cleaning, and technical repairs between 2017 and 2025.
The sluices operate on a special schedule during spring nights to facilitate the migration of glass eels and other fish species from the Wadden Sea.
