The transition of the rural area is in full swing. The challenges in areas such as water, nature, climate and biodiversity call for an integrated approach and area-based approach. With this webinar series, we share our knowledge and experiences.

Webinar 2 | Water shortage in practice: What do you notice?

This spring's 'historically' dry months once again highlighted how vulnerable the Netherlands is to water shortages. The recent rain provides temporary relief, but the structural challenge remains: how will drought affect your project, operation or area tomorrow?

On 26 June 2025 at 11 am, we will organise the webinar 'Water shortage in practice: what do you notice?' In this webinar, we will highlight the consequences of water shortages, viewed from different perspectives. Although much has already been discussed, modelled and put into scenarios, the impact of drought in practice is already being felt.

During this hour, several speakers will speak, each sharing their unique experiences. They will tell what they encounter and how they deal with the challenges of water shortages in their daily practice. Of course, there will also be room for questions and discussion.

We will soon announce who these (guest) speakers are. We will keep you informed.
