## Caption

Houseboats in the Netherlands are sitting on dry riverbeds earlier than usual this summer. ⁣
⁣
The Dutch government declared an actual water shortage on Thursday, moving from a previous warning of a possible shortage.⁣
⁣
Rivers are bringing low levels of water into the Netherlands, where it has also hardly rained in recent weeks.⁣
⁣
The water shortage does not affect drinking water supplies, but ships will likely face delays as locks will be opened less frequently to limit salt water inflow.⁣
