About the Noorderzijlvest Water Authority

The consequences of these developments, as well as climate change, are affecting the (waste) water system.

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 water authority manage the challenges facing our water authority , we are implementing organisation measures to improve our ability to work in a forward-looking 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.
