RETENTION OF WATER, WATER RETENTION AGAINST DESICCATION<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Under the influence of climate change, we are experiencing increasingly long wet, but also very dry periods. This requires a change in water management. So we need to hold more water in advance of these dry periods to prevent shortages. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Retention
\n<\/strong>With this we try to prevent dehydration from occurring with consequences for nature, agriculture and people. We must also ensure that high water levels in wet periods due to peak discharge do not pose a problem for our safety. In short, a complex balance. With all our hydraulic engineering experience and expertise, we like to think along with you about possible solutions and of course we also carry them out. <\/p>\n

Because the reservoir is not in open communication with the waterway, the vessels were transported by land and water to the reservoir. An extraordinary operation! In the basin, dredging then deepened shallow areas and backfilled deep wells. By making special adjustments to our equipment, we did not disturb the quality of the basin water during the work. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n

Our experience and expertise include deepening and (re)developing natural areas and floodplains. This ensures better water retention in dry periods, but also that there is more space to store water when there is heavy precipitation. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tongplaat near Dordrecht and the Spuimonding in the Hoeksche Waard are good examples of thinking along and working on water retention. The Ecological Optimization Cortenoever is another good example, primarily a nature development project that also contributes to water retention. These two developments often go hand in hand. <\/p>\n

Clean drinking water<\/strong>
\nNot only in and around rivers and canals do we carry out work. We also carried out work in the De Gijster reservoir. This reservoir forms an important freshwater reserve for industrial and drinking water production in the southwest of the Netherlands. This supply of fresh water makes it possible to bridge dry periods. <\/p>\n
