Double-acting B4 windwater mill in Schipluiden

Bosman Watermanagement has installed a double-acting B4 wind-water mill in Schipluiden: an innovative solution that can both pump water up and pump it away. To make this possible, the foundation of the mill has been modified. By using multiple shut-off valves, the pump can operate in two directions. This makes the installation flexible in use: an area can be drained, after which the same area can be refilled with a simple switch of the shut-off valves.

Versatile use in nature management

This double-acting windmill offers major advantages for nature and water management. The mill proves its value especially in (nature) areas where wet conditions are desirable. By raising the water level in a controlled manner, birds are attracted to use the area as a breeding ground. After the breeding season, the wind-powered watermill can easily drain the area, allowing management and mowing activities to be carried out efficiently.

A sustainable solution with maximum flexibility

Thanks to its dual function, this B4 windmill is a robust, energy-efficient, and nature-friendly solution for customized water management. Bosman Watermanagement is proud to contribute to sustainable water level management and the improvement of biodiversity in the area with this installation.

Iconic

The windmill, also known as the Bosman mill, is a familiar sight in the Dutch landscape. This is not surprising: the first examples were installed as early as 1932, and since then they have been an integral part of our water management history.
