The west of the Netherlands is close to the sea, and salt water can easily penetrate inland during periods of drought.

EXERCISE 10

a. Two possible maps:

44A: The water from many catchment areas of international rivers flows into the Netherlands.

44B: Flood waves in the catchment area of the Rhine flow into the Netherlands.

b. after 5 days

c. From December until the end of April. In this period, the flow rate (the amount of water flowing at a particular point in the river) is highest.

c. River water must be stored there if it cannot flow into the sea because of a storm.
