National Strategy Needed to Address Drinking Water Problem

The Dutch Council for the Environment and Infrastructure (Rli) advises on the need for a national strategy to ensure sufficient drinking water availability in the future. Demand is increasing due to population growth and economic development, while water supplies are decreasing due to climate change and pollution. The Rli states that bottlenecks in the water supply will become increasingly noticeable in the coming years, with current reserves being insufficient for long-term drought periods.
