Comment on The Dutch community where people live on strips of land in a lake

I wonder how they're doing right now with water levels reaching critical low points.

Water levels in this area are tightly managed by pumps. Also in normal times they pump water in and out to keep a specific level. All of this is lower than the Amsterdamrijnkanaal, so without pumps it would flood, water doesn't naturally flow out of this place only from evaporation.
