Drought in the Netherlands
• Fresh water supply from – surface water (lakes and rivers)– ground water and/or precipitation

Rijkswaterstaat3 Fresh water supply in de Dutch deltaRWS INFORMATION -
Supply of fresh water
Rivers 75%Precipitation 25%
- Precipitation deficit in summer
- Mainly depending on supply of fresh water from the Rhine

Watermanagement during low flows
• National Coordination Committee on Water Allocation– Consists of different water authorities (ministry, waterboards and
provinces) and the national meteorological institute– Active during times of low flows and/or drought
• Monitoring and communication– Advising on possible measures for water allocation
• Based on priority sequence

Rijkswaterstaat7 Fresh water supply in de Dutch deltaRWS INFORMATION -
Information used
• Long-term (10-14 days) development of river flow (Rhine and Meuse)– Discharge (fresh water supply)– Water depth (inland shipping)
• Long-term weather forecast (weekly, monthly, seasonal)– Duration of drought event
• Short-term weather forecast (hours, days)– Potential local, high intensity rainfall– Potential high, westerly winds (storm surge)
• Soil moisture• Demand for freshwater
– Agriculture– Ecology– Industry

Future developments
• Further validation and calibration of hydrological model– Groundwater– Evaporation– Chloride concentrations
• Optimization tools
• Preparing for ‘future weather’

Some thoughts on EDO
• Very useful for insights on drought situation at scale of river basin– Seasonal prediction of drought in the Netherlands
• Potential tool for drought management at European or riverbasinscale(?)
• Higher refresh rate is needed for use during drought events
• Added value for Dutch drought management is still ambiguous– Fairly large scale
