| ruimtevoorderivier.nl | Rijk | The Netherlands is facing increasingly frequent periods of extreme heat, rain, and drought. These conditions lead to extreme flood periods and prolonged periods of low water, threatening water safety, water supply, nature, and ecological quality. The Ruimte voor de Rivier 2.0 program, in collaboration between the government and the region, started on April 3, 2025, to address these challenges. | Government & Administration → Dutch Government 114 | water safety 37 government 827 region 5412 | Gelderland → Zaltbommel 1231 |
| stroming.nl | Bureau Stroming | Bureau Stroming is involved in the development of concepts such as Living Rivers, Natural Climate Buffers and Temporary Natural Areas, contributing to a more liveable Netherlands. The bureau connects people with natural environments and aligns with societal and economic trends, such as water issues and spatial transitions. In collaboration with WWF-NL, Bureau Stroming conducted an inventory of the design requirements for flowing side channels, with the aim of supporting the redesign of side channels and creating a natural sponge landscape. | Environment → Conservation 328 | river 312 climate 934 water 2501 concept 3338 nature 9094 | 's-Hertogenbosch → Rosmalen 1059 |

| proeftuinsediment.nl | Proeftuin Sediment Rijnmond | The test field brings together the supply and demand for dredged sediment through a map, aiming to increase the opportunities for local application. The project, supported by a TKI collaboration project, presented the results of four years of work on November 8, 2024. The test field’s activities cover the entire Rijnmaasmonding, starting at the Lek and ending at the Amer, focusing on applications such as combating erosion and creating sweet water intertidal habitats. | Sustainable Building → Dredging 42 | atlas 69 habitat 75 | Hoeksche Waard → 's-Gravendeel 200 |
| vnrgemeenten.nl | Vereniging Nederlandse Riviergemeenten | The VNR was established as a response to the 1986 Sandoz disaster, where pesticides flowed into the Rhine, leading to increased awareness of the need for local knowledge about rivers. The VNR connects river community leaders with ministries, provinces, and other relevant parties, and organizes annual member meetings and task group meetings. The VNR’s knowledge network connects leaders at different levels and addresses various topics related to river and water management, such as drinking water supply and climate change. | Civil & Infrastructure → Infrastructure 1033 | river 312 knowledge 3528 municipality 6837 collaboration 16036 sustainability 18451 | Peel and Maas → Baarlo 442 |
| deltaprogrammarijn.nl | Waterschap Rijn en IJssel | The Rijndag 2025 took place on April 16, 2025, providing a platform for discussion on river management and regional stress tests. The day included breakout sessions where participants, including officials, representatives of interest groups, managers, and students, exchanged knowledge about water management and risk management. A focus was on the consequences of extreme rainfall on the area and the need for water safety, with presentations of the regional stress tests and discussions about risks and costs. | Local & Regional → Regional Events 821 | water safety 37 rhine 46 water management 260 | Rheden → Velp 700 |
