Drought causes cracks in dike at Zegveld

The cracks have formed in various places of the Grechtdijk. “The clay layer, the top layer of the dike, has become rock hard,” explains a spokesperson for the De Stichtse Rijnlanden Water Board. “The ground beneath it has shrunk, creating space. This has resulted in cracks in the dike.”
