Water managers are facing

an enormous challenge:

major investments are needed

to provide flood protection

while safeguarding water

supplies and water quality

in their regions. But how

can the funds be spent as

efficiently and effectively as

possible and what innova-

tions make the difference?

Working together with water

management agencies and

other research institutes,

Deltares is developing inno-

vative concepts with the aims

of improving efficiency and

quality, and cutting costs. We

will be sharing our knowledge

at our Knowledge Tasting

on 26 November. The event

has been organised for water

authorities, provincial autho-

rities and municipalities.

At the request of the World

Bank, climate adaptation

expert Ad Jeuken recently

gave a presentation at a

meeting in Washington about

possible extreme changes in

the climate and how water

management can take this

development into account.

The World Bank organised

the meeting to see how their

procedures for the approval

of financing applications

can take a better approach

to factoring in the risks

of climate change in the

projects.
