Dutch Water Technology
The Netherlands has always paid particular attention to the supply and treatment of water. The Dutch are proud of the fact that 99% of our population receives high quality potable water from an elaborate system of water pipelines. The potable water is of high quality and enjoys great trust:
- 95% of the Dutch population drink water from the tap
- 98% is connected to the sewer system
- 98% of our communal water is treated, not using chlorines but cutting-edge purifying technologies.
In short we supply, collect, clean and re-use water with high levels of quality and service from an integrated perspective on sustainable economic development.
In order to maintain these standards, we invest in research and innovations. This approach has led to the development of highly respected knowledge institutes and companies with high-quality, innovatiev products in water technology.
Examples of dutch expertise can now be viewed and toured using Google Earth!
