Watermanagement Nijmegen – ecological improvement of the watersystem
By signing the declaration of intentions (1998) and the Waterplan (2001) the waterpartners agreed to co-operate on a sustainable waterchain with the aim of creating a sound and resilient watersystem and an attractive living environment on the lowest possible joint cost
The Waterplan Nijmegen has the following main goals:  | Do not spill drinkingwater
| | Let rainingwater refill the deep groundwater stock in stead of throwing it away by mixing it with sewage
| | Bring down the stealthy pollution of the water
| | Use water to create an attractive living environment
| | Create a sound and resilient system of open water |

| | 2004 - elaborate ambitions >> measurements
| | remove sludge, and restore the hard bankprotection where needed
| | create naturally banks and playing elements
| | create optimal ecological conditions
