## Resource

The Netherlands is facing a brewing water crisis, already at level one — a warning sign that could escalate to level two, where tough choices about water distribution may be forced. River levels are at a 20-year low, rainfall is scarce, and demand is surging due to heat, thirsty plants, and more people using water. While tap water remains safe, overuse could strain the system. Experts fear this could mirror the brutal 1976 drought — and with climate change, extreme weather is becoming the new normal. Time to conserve now before it’s too late.
