In the higher, sandy part of the Netherlands, where there is no water supply from the rivers, bottlenecks can occur in an average year due to a lack of moisture in the soil and a drop in the groundwater level. The increase in periods of drought can cause irreversible damage to nature and can damage the infrastructure.

Freshwater may become increasingly scarce as water consumption increases while the climate changes. In the coastal provinces, where salinization can occur, a dry year means that no water of the desired quality can be withdrawn for long periods.

In the coastal provinces, where salinization can occur, a dry year means that no water of the desired quality can be withdrawn for long periods.
The main effects of climate change on agriculture are an increase in crop productivity due to higher temperatures and CO2 concentrations (sugar and beet); an extension of the growing season; crop damage and production constraints as a result of waterlogging due to the increase in rainfall; crop damage from soil water deficits and/or brackish groundwater seepage; changes in the distribution, frequency and intensity of fungal diseases, insect pests and weed growth, especially for crops such as p Read more about The main effects of climate change on agriculture are an increase in crop productivity due to higher temperatures and CO2 concentrations (sugar and beet); an extension of the growing season; crop damage and production constraints as a result of waterlogging due to the increase in rainfall; crop damage from soil water deficits and/or brackish groundwater seepage; changes in the distribution, frequency and intensity of fungal diseases, insect pests and weed growth, especially for crops such as p
