What is the Land Registry Policy?
The water authority waterproofing the future, sufficient, clean, and healthy water. To achieve this, we set requirements for water-management structures. These include, for example, watercourses, dykes quays, dykes pumping stations our region. In addition, the water authority who is responsible for maintenance. We record all this information in our registers. A Register a register of (water management) works. It is a map with accompanying information. Registers provide an overview of the tasks and responsibilities of the water authority other parties for the management and maintenance of these works. The water authority new registers because the current ones are outdated. The requirements for registers are also changing with the upcoming introduction of the Environment and Planning Act. The Register Policy sets out how we create and modify registers and what data we include in our registers. Based on this, new registers have now been established: the Register water-management structures the Maintenance Register.
What is the bank protection policy?
Our region miles of revetments, quays, and sheet piling. It is often unclear who is responsible for maintaining these bank protection structures: is it the water authority or the adjacent landowner? This lack of clarity leads to overdue maintenance and can create unsafe situations. We want to change this together with the parties involved. That is why we have set out new principles for the maintenance obligation of quays, revetments, and banks on paper. We have incorporated these into our policy.
