Editing Lopik (section)

== Geography ==
The entire municipality lies within the Dutch [[Groene Hart|Green Heart]] and has a rural character. The two main access roads are the N210 and N204 provincial roads, which connect the area with major cities that include [[Rotterdam]] and [[Utrecht]]. The river Lek lies behind a high dike, which is visible from most of the south of the Lopik municipality. In the end of the eighties and early nineties the dike was strengthened and extra height was added in preparation for increasingly high water levels. Ambitious planning for continued improvement to the dikes continues.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.provincie-utrecht.nl/onderwerpen/alle-onderwerpen/waterveiligheid/|title=Waterveiligheid|last=Utrecht|first=Provincie|website=Provincie Utrecht|language=nl|access-date=2019-10-14}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hdsr.nl/beleid-plannen/sterke-lekdijk/|title=Sterke Lekdijk|last=Rijnlanden|first=Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse|website=HDSR|language=nl|access-date=2019-10-14}}</ref>
