3 Foreword In tody s word we need innovtive soutions to hep us nticipte more compex demnds, demnds tht wi emerge ginst bckdrop of imited resources not ony in the Nethernds but cross the gobe. Wter is strongy inked to gob socioeconomic deveopment, rnging from bsic wter sfety, through wter quity nd snittion, to food suppy nd genertion of renewbe energy. The interwoven nture of these issues presents us with n ongoing chenge: to crete fesibe, smrt nd sustinbe wter soutions. Stying hed of the curve with new insights, technoogies nd pproches is heping the Nethernds to meet these chenges effectivey. We re estbishing new forms of cobortion in which government uthorities nd mrket prties join forces with knowedge institutions. Whether it invoves deveoping new methods of reinforcing dikes, generting tid energy or ppying D technoogy to food simutions, the chenge is to ook t wter with the brodest possibe perspective. We re ced upon to shre our experiences t interntion eve. I beieve it is importnt to do this by giving concrete exmpes of wht is possibe. So it is gret pesure to present in this brochure vriety of current innovtive wter projects in the Nethernds. I hope this wi inspire you nd perhps encourge you to visit. Together we cn crete innovtive soutions over the word. Yours sincerey, THE MINISTER OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT, Menie Schutz vn Hegen

4 Introduction In this brochure the innovtive projects re rrnged s foows: Projects tht encourge wter sfety. Geotextie for the prevention of piping is n exmpe of such n innovtion. But the experiments with dike monitoring with sensors so serve this purpose. Projects tht respond to deveopments in the vibiity of freshwter. The so-ced bckshore concept t Andijk combines improvements of wter sfety with the storge of excessive freshwter for ter on use. Projects tht contribute to the wter quity. An exmpe of such project is the Phrmfiter which ensures tht medicin residues nd hormone-disrupting substnces from hospits re fitered before being dischrged s wste wter. Projects tht ensure cimte resistnt cities. In Rotterdm pyground hs been reised tht so function s temporry wter storge for excessive rin wter. Projects tht hve vrious objectives re ctegorised in the sections denoting their origin purpose. For ech project briefy is described wht the innovtion entis nd to wht it contributes. It so shows when it is or wi be reised. Most of the projects in this brochure so cover other objectives, broder thn those mentioned bove. Those projects hve cross-overs to other government poicies. A symbo indictes the cross-overs.

5 Expntion of icons Wste nd recycing of mteris The preservtion of rw mteri usge is importnt to chieve the est possibe environment pressure of production nd consumption. The projects nticipte this. Exmpes: The sewge purifiction pnt (RWZI) t Horstermeer ( STEP fiter) nd phosphte recovery Energy The desire to mke energy suppies more sustinbe is widey supported, so too in the wter sector. Projects tht respond to these deveopments hve this symbo. Exmpes: Desintion t Vote, therm pressure hydroysis in the sewge purifiction pnt (RWZI) t Veno, tid turbines t the Oosterschede storm-surge brrier Cimte dpttion These projects hep to mnge unvoidbe cimte chnges nd where possibe, to prevent further cimte chnge. Exmpes: The pn to widen the river nd crete terps t Overdiepse Poder Agricuture By using innovtive nd sustinbe soutions from the wter sector, much is to be gined in the production of food. One of the ims of these projects is More Crop per Drop: more food with ess wter. Exmpes: Cutivtion of pottoes in briny soi (Texe) Nture deveopment Projects in the fied of wter cn often be designed in ccordnce with the design principes of buiding with nture. This provides benefits for nture nd for recretion, nd is often finnciy ttrctive too. Exmpes: Muti-function river dike Munnikennd, sfety buffer Oester Dm Spti yout Aside from its ims for sfety, the reistion of the Room for the River' project so ims to improve the environment quity of the rivers region. These projects s we s others, nticipte this. Exmpes: Dike repositioning t Lent, Scheveningen nd Cdznd Bouevrds
