| Project description | The parties involved in WAVE have the responsibility to adapt water management to the changing climate. One of the measures to be taken is to assure that catchment areas are climate proof. This means to protect the inhabitants against floods and assuring sufficient water in times of drought. This is a challenging goal in a society that is faced with increasing urbanization and in which the pressure on available space is enormous. It implies the need for cooperation with traditional partners like provinces and communities, but also with relatively new partners and stakeholders like inhabitants, companies, nature organisation, recreational organisations and farmers (territorial challenge).
