Information evening in Ouwerkerk about measures for the Duiveland water system
On Wednesday, 25 March 2026, Scheldestromen Water Authority will hold an information meeting about the implementation measures for the water system in the rural area of Duiveland. The meeting will take place at the Watersnoodmuseum, Weg van de Buitenlandse Pers 5 in Ouwerkerk. The hall will open at 18:45, and the programme will start at 19:00.
Measures for a future-proof water system
The water authority has investigated how the water system in the rural area of Duiveland functions during extreme rainfall. This area lies to the east of the line between Brouwershaven and Zierikzee. Based on this analysis, a package of measures has been drawn up to contribute to a robust, climate-resilient and future-proof water system. The proposed measures stem from the water level decision of 1 July 2021 and follow-up research. They are also important for meeting European and national agreements, such as the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the National Water Agreement. More information about the water level decision and the measures in the rural area of Duiveland can be found on our website.
Purpose of the meeting
During the evening, the water authority will present the proposed measures and explain what they mean for the area and its surroundings. Stakeholders will have the opportunity to ask questions and highlight any issues that have not yet been identified.
