Utrecht – De Stichtse Rijnlanden Water Board (HDSR) will deploy emergency pumps at various locations to maintain the water level in the Rhine as high as possible. Due to the persistent drought, the Rhine, which flows into the Lower Rhine and the Lek, is lower than normal. This can cause damage to, for example, vulnerable foundations of buildings, but fruit growers can also suffer from it.
