The Dutch water sector, traditional experts in prevention measures such as infrastructure levees, modifying river courses and movable weirs, now has expanded into recovery with the Risk Reduction Team.
It is comprised of a team of experts advising governments on issues related to both water quantity and quality. Beyond technological advice, they also offer advice on urban planning policies, public private cooperation and attracting funding. All solutions are said to be sustainable in the long term.
The team is activated if a country is facing or has just suffered a disaster, and the embassy or central government has requested the Dutch government for aid. There is a map showing the global water projects established so far, with project details.
