About the Noorderzijlvest Water Authority

The Noorderzijlvest Water Authority is located in a unique area where land subsidence caused by natural gas extraction and earthquakes significantly affects water management. The consequences of these developments, as well as climate change, are affecting the (waste) water system. Rising sea levels, more frequent and longer periods of heavy rain, interspersed with prolonged drought, but also challenges in the field of sustainability and new (problematic) substances: these are problems that require robust solutions. We want our (waste)water system to function as naturally as possible and to be climate-proof, resilient, and healthy in the long term. This requires us to take appropriate and affordable measures in a society that wants to discuss and influence these issues.

To effectively manage the challenges facing our water authority, we are implementing organizational optimization measures to improve our ability to work in a future-oriented and integrated manner. We believe this will provide a solid foundation for strategic thinking, enabling us to translate our plans into our daily work and carry out our tasks as efficiently as possible. This is becoming increasingly important in a society that is changing and demanding a lot from us.
