Resilience in the water domain

Today's challenges require resilient water systems. Because how do we build together a water domain that can withstand climate change with excessive rainfall and long periods of drought, pollution of drinking and surface water and all this in the context of sustainability? During the water conference, we will look across various axes at initiatives that exist, projects in the water domain and available technologies and platforms.

Keynote presentation:
Working together for clean water: The Power of the Clean Maas Water Chain
Good water quality is essential for our society, for example, 7 million people in the Netherlands and Belgium depend on the Maas as a source of their drinking water. Protecting and improving water quality is a complex task, which is why water boards, water companies and Rijkswaterstaat are actively sharing their knowledge and expertise within the Clean Maas Water Chain. With the help of a joint measurement network and the complete mapping of wastewater discharges by companies, we are getting a better grip on pollution. The basis for this is the Atlas for a Clean Maas, where data and information from all partners are pooled to jointly reduce emissions of pollutants in the Maas river basin. Although true cooperation is easier said than done, in the end you achieve more together than alone!
