BRABANT FIGHTS AGAINST WATER
Saturday 28 January
The Maas is still
rising.

Not only ministers are coming but also the queen of the Netherlands.
Parts of dikes are closed to
onlookers. The dike by Kerkdriel is closed. People who want to go on the dike
must briefly explain why, and even then they may not get permission.
One of the few places where
everyone is allowed to go on the dike is in Zaltbommel. Soon the center of
Zaltbommel is filled with cars. The shopkeepers are happy with a lot of
onlookers in Zaltbommel since it increases their business.
