Today's water system is under pressure due to climate change. Extremes, both on the dry and wet side, are not only more frequent, but also more severe than before. Water Board Valley and Veluwe is developing an approach to prepare the water system for the consequences of climate change. The current water system is mainly designed to drain water. However, the dry summers of 2018, 2019 and 2020 show the importance of retaining water. Retaining water reduces the discharge peak in wet periods and makes the system more drought-resistant.

Aveco de Bondt looked at four streams from this task. The Tygron model was used to identify opportunities to retain more water. Depending on the hydrological conditions, different measures may be promising. The study looked at opportunities to retain water during above-normative wet situations.

On 21 November, water board Vallei and Veluwe and Aveco de Bondt will take us through the methodology used and the results.
