Which makes it all the more unique that it closed, because there's a lot of water coming down the Rhine and Waal right now.
Rijkswaterstaat (who manages all of this) prepared for this by making more space for the river water to flow and flood in other directions.
- dendrite9 3y agoDo you know of any good resources to see the water levels in such places? I know of some sites for example in California reservoirs, or Snotel and river gauges in the US. But I imagine the information is spread differently in these watersheds.
