Watermanagement in Nederland 1/2Het watersysteem is prima beheerd, maar staat onder druk door:
– Vaker extreem weer (veel regen in korte tijd, storm en langere droogte periodes in de zomer)
– Andere maatschappelijke functies leggen beslag op watersysteem (industrie, transport, natuur en verstedelijking)
Het watersysteem is complex en sterk verweven met andere maatschappelijke functies, hoogwater en droogte hebben impact op:
• Scheepvaart transport• Zoutindringing en grondwater.• Koelwater energiecentrales• Water productie voor industrie, landbouw en
drinkwater. • Verkeer en vervoer• Gebouwen en stabiliteit (grond)waterstanden

Use case 1 Instrumentation for water level regulated systems (IWP-2)
Involved organizations Rijkswaterstaat (owner)Local water authorities Waternet, Hollands Noorderkwartier, Stichtse Rijnlanden, Rijnland
Description Rijkswaterstaat and the 25 local water authorities are amongst others responsible for managing the water levels. The instrumentation for managing local and national water levels will be modernized coming years.
Current Situation The water balance is currently optimized within the districts of the local water authorities and more or less independent on a national level by Rijkswaterstaat. Relevant information is being shared by often by phone or email. Intervention by any stakeholder impacts the operations of the others who respond reactively.
Goal Rijkswaterstaat and participating local water authorities will start sharing relevant information centrally via the Digital Delta infrastructure and make this real-time available to others.
Contribution to Digital Delta objectives
• Improve cross district optimization of managing the water balance (optimize the discharge of too much water but also improve the containment of water during anticipated dry periods and prevent damage to agriculture due to salt intrusion from sea)
• Share data and facilitating new science and development of new solutions• Standardization of integration of data sources so follow-on data sets can be easily connected• Facilitates additional use cases like Discharge Advice Sluices Ijmuiden, Open Data Open Polder,
Drainage Advice for preventing Salt Intrusion

Use case 2 Innovation Playground
Involved organizations Local Water Authority Delfland (owner)Various SMBs
Description In the Innovation Playground the local Water Authority Delfland (district of the cities of Delft, the Hague and partly Rotterdam) will provide its challenges and make its (operational) data available for scientists and SMBs to develop multiple use cases
Current Situation Vendors and scientists do not have easy access to data from the water authority, access is on a project basis and collection and integration often done in a non repeatable vendor independent way. Delfland would like to benefit from new solutions and approaches to become an early adopter but after they are proven in an operational environment.
Goal Provide access to (operational) data through Digital Delta infrastructure and become the test site for innovative water solutions.
Contribution to Digital Delta objectives
• Access to data for scientists and SMBs to develop new science and solutions• Make data available for everybody creating a level playing field and reducing duplication of effort• Improve decision making for operational water management• Access to the data will fuel various use cases in the district

Use case 3 Plug & Play Sensors
Involved organizations University of Delft (owner) & students
Description The University of Delft developed rain sensors based on sound analytics: the acoustic disdrometer. These are low in price and can be deployed in large quantities. Other university teams focus on other sensor types like temperature, wind, radiation and humidity.
Current Situation Deployment and setup of sensors and connections requires technical IT skills and availability of hardware (PC or edge servers) and can easily take months and a substantial portion of the available budgets before teams can focus on the science.Other science departments would like to reuse the available data
Goal Development of a generic mechanism to connect disdrometers and other sensor types based on technology like motes and the Rijkswaterstaat Smart Sensor Kit
Contribution to Digital Delta objectives
• would drastically reduce cost and development time for new science projects requiring sensor data
• Sensor data becomes broadly available for improving models and decision making• Provides the basis for status based maintenance use cases like drainage of tunnels and roads and
the city water system. For these type of use cases sensor data needs to be integrated with weather forecasts, maintenance data and topography. These higher level use cases have the potential to drastically improve aspects of the water system.

Use case 4 Next Generation Hydrosoftware (NGHS)
Involved organizations Deltares (owner)
Description NGHS facilitates the numerical modeling of rivers, seas and deltas at arbitrary locations on earth. A numerical model needs to be fed with input (bathymetry, rainfall runoff, water levels) that is derived from data sets like elevation, land use maps, meteo, water level and discharge data).
Current Situation NGHS supports preparing model input from raw data, but not the complex task of searching, finding and using relevant data. This complexity arises from the huge amount of available data, the variety in storage formats, and the some times limited accessibility.
Goal The Digital Delta will solve this problem by realizing and maintaining a catalogue for frequently used data, converting data formats to a standardized form if necessary, and providing en public and/or authorized data access.The modeler therefore can create a model more efficient, and can add it relative simple to an operational environment (e.g. a FEWS-based forecasting system) because the data needed for the predictions will be available in a standardized way.
Contribution to Digital Delta objectives
• Would reduce cost and development time for local (and international) model development• Enable monitoring of the complete information supply chain improving the quality of information
for operational systems and the decision making based on those systems

Smart Levees
The Netherlands: • Over 16.000 km of levees protect the Dutch economy and
international business• Levee inspection mandated every 5 years by law (~200M
euro)• Levee maintenance is expensive (550M euro/year)• Climate change results in more extreme weather (dry/wet)
Smart Levees:• Satellite observation enables monitoring of large stretches• Pin points areas requiring more detailed analysis• Geobeads: geotechnical sensor strings enabling real-time
continuous infrastructure monitoring• Real-time levee integrity modelling takes geobeads data as
input• Up to 48 hours advanced warning of levee instability

Dynamic Water Management
From Integrated Water Management 1.0 to 2.0:• National (or mega city) water system is an
interconnected system of systems • Optimalisation of water distribution needed
depending on social and economic needs• Current single purpose, binary system is energy
inefficient and room for faster and more accurate decision making
Needs:• Multipurpose constructions and ‘taps’: pumping
stations, sluices, locks, dams• Multi dimension optimized control systems
able to process large amounts of data from heterogeneous sensors and equipment
• Collaboration between national, regional and local water managers

23 use cases proposed by companies and researchers
Sewers have enough capacity if we can predict where blockages will
occur postponing complete overhaul
We can save 700k on the annual energy bill of 1
installation by discharging water at sea at the right moment
We can monitor the depths of rivers continuously using commercial
shipping data saving costs
We believe we can predict when tunnels will flood and improve
the maintenance schedule
Underground storage basins are often placed in the wrong location, data analysis can tell where they should be
Leveraging cross regional data can greatly improve the water forecasting and control
Airborne geophysics can provide the data for sustainable ground water management in coastal
zones much faster
We can analyse which ground bodies like levees or buildings
are subsiding using satellite data

What’s keeping them ?
1. Too much time lost on non-core activities– 30 - 60% time or resources lost on
searching, collecting, getting access to, validating data
– Setup and maintenance of the IT environment
– Long time to market2. Unaware of existing tools & solutions
– Broad duplication of data, tool development3. Unable to compare data
– Lack of standards4. Large number of research and business
development opportunities– If the barriers and costs to engage would be
lower
Inefficient and expensive
