Dutch dikes are facing risks due to dry and hot summers. Inspectors are checking the dikes for potential leaks. They use metal rods to probe the dry surface and look for patches of green grass that could indicate a leak.

This process is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the dikes. Further information on the situation with the Dutch dikes and its potential impact on German river trade is available from the source. Details on the inspectors' findings and the overall condition of the dikes are not provided here.
