Adapting to rising water levels in the Maas river
The dikes surrounding the Maas protect around 270.000 civilians and companies from rising water levels.

The approach

The project partners are: water authority Aa en Maas, province Noord-Brabant, municipality Oss, Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, Rijkswaterstaat, province Gelderland, municipality West Maas en Waal, municipality Wijchen and water authority Rivierenland en Natuurmonumenten.
