Samenvatting In de maanden juni tot en met september 2013 heeft er een onderzoek plaatsgevonden naar het sportvisserijgebruik van de Overijsselse Vecht. De Vecht ontspringt in Duitsland en heeft een lengte van 167 kilometer, waarvan 60 kilometer in Nederland. In Nederland stroomt de rivier langs Hardenberg, Ommen, Dalfsen en Zwolle. Het is een populair viswater voor recreanten, maar er worden ook veel viswedstrijden gevist. Het onderzoek had de opzet van een zogenaamde ‘roving survey’. In de onderzoeksperiode is negen maal over het gebied gevlogen waarbij sportvissers zijn geteld en op een topografische kaart geregistreerd. Daarnaast zijn door vrijwilligers op negen momenten interviews afgenomen bij sportvissers langs de waterkant en zijn vangstlogboeken uitgedeeld. In totaal zijn er 258 sportvissers waargenomen vanuit de lucht en zijn 38 sportvissers geïnterviewd. Dit aantal is te laag om een betrouwbare typering van het sportvisserijgebruik van de Overijsselse Vecht te geven. Met behulp van landelijke data over het gedrag van sportvissers zijn de tellingen geëxtrapoleerd naar een totaal jaarbezoek.

And rightly, too. Authorities, from municipal to European level, are endeavouring to respond. The oldest level of government in the Netherlands, that of the waterschappen, is also moving with the times in providing customised service for today’s society. This sets requirements on the tasks and the way in which they are carried out. But above all, it sets requirements on the way in which society is involved in water governance. We have produced this booklet for the interested outsider and for those who are roughly familiar with water management. It provides an understanding of what waterschappen are and do, but primarily how waterschappen work as government institutions. Special attention is paid to organisation, management and financing. These aspects are frequently raised in contacts with foreign representatives. The way we arrange matters in the Netherlands commands respect all over the world. The waterschap model is an inspiring example for the administrative organisations of other countries whose aims are also to keep people safe from flooding and manage water resources.

  • Groundwater Impacts on Surface Water Quality and Nutrient Loads in 2 Lowland Polder Catchments: Monitoring the Greater Amsterdam Area

The Amsterdam area, a highly manipulated delta area formed by polders and reclaimed lakes, struggles with high 13 nutrient levels in its surface water system. The polders receive spatially and temporally variable amounts of water and 14 nutrients via surface runoff, groundwater seepage, sewer leakage, and via water inlet from upstream polders. Diffuse 15 anthropogenic sources, such as manure and fertilizer use and atmospheric deposition, add to the water quality problems in 16 the polders. The major nutrient sources and pathways have not yet been clarified due to the complex hydrological system in 17 such lowland catchments with both urban and agricultural areas. In this study, the spatial variability of the groundwater 18 seepage impact was identified by exploiting the dense groundwater and surface water monitoring networks in Amsterdam 19 and its surrounding polders. Twenty-five variables (concentrations of Total-N, Total-P, NH4, NO3, HCO3, SO4, Ca, and Cl in 20 surface water and groundwater, N and P agricultural inputs, seepage rate, elevation, land-use, and soil type) for 144 polders 21 were analysed statistically and interpreted in relation to sources, transport mechanisms, and pathways.

Devel- opments in water safety, water quality, and robust water infrastructure transitioned Amsterdam into an attractive, economically healthy, and safe city that scores highly in the field of water management. However, investments need to be continued to meet future challenges. Many other cities in the world have just started their transition to become water-wise. For those cities, it is important to assess current water management and governance practices, in order to set their priorities and to gain knowledge from the experiences of more advanced cities such as Amsterdam. We investigate how Amsterdam’s water management and governance developed historically and how these lessons can be used to further improve water management in Amsterdam and other cities. This retrospective analysis starts at 1672 and applies the City Blueprint Approach as a baseline water management assessment.
