Episode Details

Deventer’s harbor is shutting down this weekend as the IJssel River’s dangerously low water levels—caused by this summer’s drought—force officials to close sluice gates to protect boats, houseboats, and critical water barriers. It’s not the first time: a similar shutdown happened in 2018, lasting two weeks. Ships must vacate by Friday evening, and no new vessels can enter after Thursday. The Twentekanaal, linking several cities, has been closed since last Saturday, hitting local businesses hard as they demand action.
