Dutch Water Authorities

Dutch Water Authorities are regional organizations responsible for managing water systems in the Netherlands, including water quality, flood protection, and water level regulation. They oversee dike maintenance, water treatment, and drainage to safeguard communities, agriculture, and natural areas. These authorities work collaboratively with national agencies and local governments to ensure a sustainable and resilient water management system that adapts to challenges like climate change and rising sea levels. Their goal is to protect people and the environment while supporting economic activities through effective, environmentally responsible water management.
