If you are in a boat going down the canal the water from the drainpipe can spill onto your head and/or genitals.

Maybe it's just a strange angle on that photo, but I struggle to imagine how someone could fit a boat under the section of bridge where that pipe comes down!
The angle in this photo is indeed odd, but also the only time I ever taken a boat on the Binnendieze was in a fairly small boat with only a few other tourists and a guide. I might misremember, because it has been a few years, but there were some moments we had to mind our heads.

Maybe it's a really low boat.
(Also it's probably a strange downward angle.)
