Large-scale water management: future-oriented water management for major projects

Marcel Diederen | December 01, 2025

The Netherlands lives with water. This brings benefits, but also challenges. High water levels, extreme rainfall, and the impact of climate change clearly demonstrate the vital importance of large-scale water management. Water safety is crucial, especially in the river area and along our dikes, to protect businesses, agriculture, and the environment. At DWTN, we understand the complexity of these issues and offer solutions that help you invest strategically and sustainably in water management.

Clean water and robust systems for the future

Large-scale water management isn't just about flood protection; it's also about securing clean water and a reliable freshwater supply during dry periods. By making smart use of available water, we strengthen the water system and give our rivers more room. We do this in line with the Delta Programme, which prioritizes water quality, livability, and ecological balance.

Thanks to our expertise in storage systems and innovative technologies, we support water boards, provinces, and businesses in building climate-resilient infrastructure and water management. This ensures you're prepared for both high water and extended periods of drought.

High water levels and water safety in the river area

Major rivers, such as the Meuse, the Rhine, the Lek, and the IJsselmeer region, are vulnerable to flooding. When river levels rise, we work with partners to create space for the water. Floodplains, dams, and banks play a key role in this. This integrated approach contributes to water safety and prevents excess water from posing a threat to businesses and the environment.

Rijkswaterstaat, knowledge institutions, and provinces are working on sustainable solutions through various measures. We are contributing to this with high-quality products and strategic applications that strengthen the supply chain. This allows rivers to discharge water naturally, ensuring your environment remains robust and livable.

Product solutions that make a big difference

Reliable products are essential for large-scale water management. DWTN doesn't provide standard solutions, but high-quality systems suitable for large-scale projects. One example is the Easy Rain storage tanks, ideal for capturing precipitation and reusing rainwater. The DS Premium storage tanks are also widely used because they are suitable for large volumes of water and have a long service life.

These applications contribute not only to water safety but also to sustainable water management. This allows you to purify rainwater and use it for agriculture, fishing, or recreation. This lowers your investment costs while simultaneously increasing the ecological value and biodiversity of the surrounding area.

Working together on solutions that last

DWTN has years of experience supplying components and systems for large-scale projects. We work closely with water boards, provinces, and Rijkswaterstaat (the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management) to develop solutions that meet current challenges. Thanks to our knowledge of technologies and infrastructure, we are able to deliver robust, customized solutions.

Whether it's protecting banks along the IJssel River, strengthening dikes, or intelligently discharging excess water into the North Sea, we're ready with products and advice. This way, we give you the assurance that your project will be future-proof and climate-resilient.
