Op het water is het al augustus of later: 'De rivierstanden zakken heel snel weg'

Op het water is het al augustus of later: 'De rivierstanden zakken heel snel weg' 14.07.2026

Het is pas half juli, maar de waterstanden in de Nederlandse rivieren zijn al uitzonderlijk laag. Bij Lobith, waar de Rijn Nederland binnenkomt, staat het water op een niveau dat normaal pas in september of oktober wordt bereikt. Ook de Maas kampt met lage waterstanden. De aanhoudende droogte en hitte van de zomer van 2026 hebben geleid tot een snelle daling van de rivierstanden, die volgens Rijkswaterstaat deze week nog verder zullen zakken.
