Water management in the Netherlands november 10th, 2010

Our area in the Middle Ages Early settlements of farmers Land is surrounded by water Sea, estuaries and lakes create a constant threat to land and inhabitants

Throughout the centuries People struggle against the water Many floodings Many people die ‘Pump or drown’

1809

1953: The last big flood disaster in the Netherlands

Our area today inhabitants: 1.1 mln buildings: € 125 billion ($ 175 billion) seadikes: 343 km (214 mls) inland dikes: 1486 km (928 mls)

Today We improve our dikes

Today We reinforce our dunes

Today We strengthen our levees

Today We build strong dams

We build powerful pumping stations Today

We create water retaining reservoirs

Today We build powerful barriers

Just for a bad day Foto: Rijkswaterstaat

And even today sometimes there is a narrow escape

If there were no dikes and levees two third of the country would regularly be flooded

How do we protect our dikes? Separate waterauthorities (waterboards) for the management of water systems and the maintenance of dikes

And Separate taxes for water management and maintenance of water works Dimensions of dikes are recorded in a register (‘legger’) Strict laws and ordinances to protect water systems and water works (‘keur’) Permits needed for activities on dikes, such as digging and building
