#Tubebarrier, a flexible temporary flood defence barrier developed in the Netherlands, will be used by the City of Annapolis to protect the city and its residents from flooding and water damage. The Tubebarrier is designed to be deployed quickly and efficiently in the event of flooding. It consists of a flexible tube that automatically fills itself with water to retain water. The system is modular, reusable, and can be set up without electricity or pumps, making it ideal for emergency situations. During a visit to the Netherlands in November 2023, #NWPmember Dutch Water Prevention showed the City of Annapolis how effective and user-friendly this innovation is. Dutch Water Prevention eventually installed a demonstration model in Annapolis, where the Tubebarrier was successfully deployed several times. 💬 “The first success of the Tubebarrier in the United States is a very nice milestone and also shows the power of joint efforts and cooperation between the Netherlands and the United States,” says Bas Jonkman, Professor of Integrated Hydraulic Engineering at Delft University of Technology.

Four Dutch water authorities are working on a nature-based solutions pilot project at one of the tributary rivers of the Mindu Dam, #Tanzania, to improve the delivery of water and sanitation services in the Morogoro urban area. The water supply from the Dam is threatened by the effects of climate change, population growth and intensive agriculture. These factors lead to heavy loading on the surrounding riverbanks, causing severe soil erosion. To combat this soil erosion, World Waternet, Waterschap Rivierenland, Waterschap Brabantse Delta and Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier will introduce agroforestry in the Mindu Dam catchment area in partnership with Morogoro Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Authority (MORUWASA). The project falls under the Dutch WaterWorX programme and will run until April 2026. 🔗 Read on Dutchwatersector.com: https://lnkd.in/epFfqRNh.

The subsectors of drinking water supply, water & greenery, and industrial wastewater show great potential. The main international water themes for the coming years relate mainly to climate and sustainability: • Climate change • Nature-based solutions • Energy transition, and • Reuse of water In addition, themes on the agro-water nexus, such as soil and agriculture, desiccation, water quality, and water scarcity, are becoming increasingly prominent. The WEX report was conducted by Panteia, commissioned by the NWP (Netherlands Water Partnership), in collaboration with Water Alliance and Topsector Water & Maritiem. The results and conclusions were presented to the Ministry of Infrastructure & Water Management. Would you like to know more about the themes and topics that are crucial for the Dutch water sector?
