Deep Adaptation for the Water Sector - Phase 2

Nederlandse drinkwaterbedrijven en waterschappen zijn goed voorbereid op verstoringen, zoals overstromingen en stroomuitval. Voor vrijwel alle scenario’s is een plan beschikbaar om de normale situatie snel te herstellen. Echter, bij ondenkbare scenario’s, zoals klimaatveranderingen, grootschalige migratie of maatschappelijke ineenstorting, is herstel naar de oude situatie mogelijk niet haalbaar. Het ontwikkelen van aanpassingsvermogen voor dergelijke toestandsveranderingen noemen we diepe adaptatie.

In de tweede helft van 2024 is de eerste fase van het project “Diepe Adaptatie voor de Watersector” uitgevoerd, gefinancierd door vijf waterbedrijven en vijf waterschappen. Deze fase legde de basis voor de tweede fase, waarin we antwoorden op de gestelde vragen uitgewerken naar een handelingsperspectief voor de Nederlandse watersector. Er worden concrete adaptatiemaatregelen uitgewerkt op basis van begrip van mogelijke toestandsveranderingen in de fysieke omgeving en maatschappij, ervaringen uit crisisgebieden, analyses van onderlinge afhankelijkheden en flessenhalzen. Ook wordt in dit project materiaal gemaakt dat de discussie over en communicatie van dergelijke scenario’s ondersteunt.
