THE NETHERLANDS-AFSLUITDIJK DAM

THE NETHERLANDS-AFSLUITDIJK DAM

(220818) -- AMSTERDAM, Aug. 18, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on Aug. 15, 2022 shows dried soil on a section of the Afsluitdijk, a dam separating the IJsselmeer lake and the Wadden Sea, in the Netherlands. A continuing drought in the Netherlands has made it increasingly difficult to meet the Dutch demand for water in more and more areas, despite the current rainfall and water-saving measures by the government. As one of the drought-relief measures, the sluice gates of Afsluitdijk have been closed to keep the water level of the IJsselmeer, the biggest lake in the country, as high as possible, since a large part of the Netherlands gets its fresh water from there.
