Same here in the Netherlands. There is a lot of water in streams, ditches and rivers. In the major rivers the peak of the high water has yet to come, it is expected that the water in the rivers Rhine, Waal and IJssel will rise another two meters during the holidays to about 3.5 to 4 meters above normal. This is mainly because there has also been persistent rainfall in Germany in recent weeks. The Rijn and IJssel Water Board expects the water in the Rhine and IJssel to rise at least another two meters. The highest water level is now expected on December 28 when the water in the Rhine at Lobith will rise to almost 15 meters above Amsterdam Ordnance Datum (NAP). The water boards constantly check the condition of the dikes throughout the Netherlands along the rivers in more and more places high water causes inconvenience, but that is all so far we are prepared for this.
