It is uncertain exactly how high the water will rise. It is clear that the water will be against the dike in many places. To protect the Lekdijk in Lopik, HSDR will wrap it extra with cloth. This ensures that the new top layer of clay does not wash away. Last month, HSDR partly covered the dike at Salmsteke due to a high water wave, but the water board thinks that the water will now be even higher.
