Johan Friso lock, Water lock in Stavoren, Netherlands.
The Johan Friso lock enables vessels to navigate between different water levels in the Friesland waterway system through automated control mechanisms.
The lock bears the name of Prince Johan Friso of Orange-Nassau, a Dutch royal who studied engineering and worked in finance until his passing in 2013.
The lock represents the Dutch tradition of water management infrastructure, which maintains water levels for agriculture and maritime transportation in Friesland.
The facility operates year-round, allowing both commercial ships and recreational boats to pass through the waterways connecting the region's main bodies of water.
The lock combines modern automation technology with traditional Dutch engineering principles to regulate water flow in the Súdwest-Fryslân municipality.
