Integrated Coastal and River Basin Management
The Netherlands, with its 523 kilometres of coastline and three major rivers, is a leader in coastal and river basin management.
As a low-lying delta, the country is vulnerable to flooding and sea-level rise, and has lived with water for centuries.
The Dutch water sector invites you to team up to find the best solutions for our changing world.
After severe floods in 1953, the Netherlands built flood defences like the Maeslantkering, and later shifted its approach from a 'fight against water' to 'building with nature' after rivers flooded their banks in the 1990s.
Dutch expertise now focuses on ecosystem-based solutions that integrate governance, stakeholder participation, and sustainable water management.
