  • How to design an optimized water quality monitoring scheme?
  • In the same vein, the same methodology was used for the design of an optimized water quality monitoring scheme. The methodology takes into consideration the (1) objectives, (2) operational constraints and (3) disturbances. These first three steps determine the required water quality parameters.
  • How is groundwater protected in the Netherlands?
  • In the Netherlands, the protection of groundwater intended for drinking water production is set out in the Environmental Management Act. Provinces can designate groundwater protection areas around drinking water extraction points, and have done so for nearly all groundwater extraction points in the Netherlands.
  • How does Riza monitor inland surface water?
  • The monitoring activities of inland surface waters are coordinated by RIZA ( Table 3.10 ). The major part of Dutch monitoring is encompassed by the yearly MWTL (National Surface Water Monitoring Program). The goal of this network, consisting of a physical, chemical and biological part, is to test and detect trends in water quality.
  • Why is water quality important in the Netherlands?
  • The government guarantees that everyone in the Netherlands has access to sufficient and safe drinking water at an affordable price. That is why the national government sets quality requirements for the production and supply of water.
