Portfolio Zeeland: freshwater availability and salinisation

The province of Zeeland, in the south-west of The Netherlands, is surrounded by water. 40 percent of its surface consists of salt or brackish water. Being an agricultural Province freshwater availably is key, but the combination of a rising sea level and a changing climate creates challenges for farmers. Many projects have been done in this part of The Netherlands. Field measurements and monitoring, numerical modelling of the current and future water system and testing innovations on drainage and infiltration.
