Work in progress

Every day, we contribute to safe living with water. We work to provide clean, healthy, and purified water and ensure sufficient water in every season. We do this for the people in our area. This page provides an overview of all the activities and projects currently underway.

  • Dike reinforcement Lauwersmeer Dike-Vierhuizergat

    Project website: The Lauwersmeer dike in Groningen is located between Lauwersoog and the Westpolder. This dike no longer meets safety requirements. Therefore, the dike must be reinforced. We will begin work on the dike in 2023.

  • Area-specific supervision ‘De Zeven Blokken’ Smilde

    Research into the use of crop protection products in surface water. The project was launched in 2018 in the agricultural area known as 'De Zeven Blokken' near Smilde.

  • Area development Southern Westerkwartier

    In the Southern Westerkwartier, the water board is taking measures. At the same time, the province of Groningen is setting up the National Nature Network.

  • Water Framework Directive (WFD) measures in Drenthe

    Water Framework Directive Drenthe. The Noorderzijlvest Water Authority is working on making weirs accessible to fish and constructing 3 kilometers of nature-friendly banks.

  • Northern Drenthe

    In the Kop van Drenthe region, we are working on a water system that adapts to climate change, provides sufficient water, and prevents flooding as much as possible.

  • Land development Veenhuizen

    In May 2016, a Veenhuizen Land Use Planning Committee was appointed to facilitate land exchanges and mediate in the transfer of infrastructure and engineering structures.

  • Measures Runsloot and Stroetenloop

    We are going to improve the Runsloot and Stroetenloop. These waterways are part of the Eelderdiep stream system. The aim is to reduce water shortages and desiccation, and to ensure better water quality and greater biodiversity.

  • Growing dike: protecting our coastline

    We are investigating whether we can gradually reinforce the sea dike with thin layers of silt. The Growing Dike is largely financed by STOWA, the Flood Protection Program, and the Interreg project BONSAI.

  • New Waterworks Zoutkamp

    The Noorderzijlvest Water Authority is increasing the capacity of the H.D. Louwes pumping station and reinforcing the regional flood defenses in Zoutkamp. This is necessary to guarantee water safety in the long term.
