About NAP:
Amsterdam Ordnance Datum or Normaal Amsterdams Peil (NAP) is a vertical datum in use in large parts of Western Europe. Originally created for use in the Netherlands, its height was used by Prussia in 1879 for defining Normalnull, and in 1955 by other European countries. In the 1990s, it was used as the reference level for the United European leveling Network (UELN) which in turn led to the European Vertical Reference System (EVRS).

Waterschap Velt en Vecht was a water board in the Dutch provinces of Overijssel and Drenthe. In 2000, the watershed formed a merger between the waters of the Suydevelt, De Vechtlanden and part of the Purification Drenthe. The area of activity was approximately 90,000 ha and ranged from Ommen to Emmen.
Nowadays, the official name is "Waterschap Vechtstromen"
