Drought can lead to water shortages, which has an effect on nature, agriculture and shipping and in exceptional cases on our drinking water, according to Rijkswaterstaat. A shortage of water is also harmful to crops. Biologist Luc Hoogenstein also notices this. “It’s so incredibly dry.” As a result, animals are deeper in the ground, making birds more difficult to collect their food, for example, he explains. “Fortunately it is not that hot yet, because if it is a dry and warm period, it is even more problematic.”
