Rijkswaterstaat
Rijkswaterstaat is the executive agency of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.
We manage and develop the national highways, waterways, and waters, and are committed to a sustainable living environment. We want to live in a country with sufficient green space and clean water. A country that is protected against flooding, and where we can travel smoothly and safely from A to B.
The people of Rijkswaterstaat dedicate themselves to this every day. With over 200 years of knowledge in spatial planning, they know that this involves more than just the technical execution of road and water projects. It is also about the balance between all those interests: economy, environment, and quality of life. Rijkswaterstaat therefore involves citizens in the design of their living environment and collaborates with partners such as water boards, municipalities, businesses, and knowledge institutes. In this way, we work together on sustainable solutions for a safe, livable, and accessible Netherlands.
Working together on a safe, livable, and accessible Netherlands. That is Rijkswaterstaat.
