Mission & Interests

Goals: RIWA was established 65 years ago as a joint venture of Dutch water companies that use surface water for the preparation of drinking water. Since 2002, three independent sections have been distinguished within the RIWA for Rijn, Maas and Schelde, united in a dome. Each section represents the drinking water interests in its catchment area: quality development, research, reporting, information and actions. The RIWA umbrella represents the general interests of the river water companies. RIWA-Rijn and RIWA-Maas conduct joint consultations with, for example, Vewin (Association of Water Companies in the Netherlands) and governments at home and abroad. Water quality has clearly improved in large parts of the country in recent years, but insufficient to meet all the objectives of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and to achieve our ambitions. So more action is needed. More information can be found on https://www.riwa.org

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Drinkwater richtlijn Kaderrichtlijn Water Prioritaire Stoffen Richtlijn (Environmental Quality Standards Directive) Industriële Emissies Richtlijn Klimaatverandering (adaptatie) Richtlijn Stedelijk Afvalwater
Communication Activities: The activities of RIWA-Rijn and IAWR are based on the knowledge of the rivers, the substances and the dischargers. For Rijkswaterstaat and the committees (in particular for the ICPR), RIWA-Rijn and IAWR represent the waterworks and the point of contact for quality questions in the catchment area. The member companies also make frequent use of the knowledge and information that is available within the RIWA-Rijn organization. To relevant industries or. their associations and agricultural organizations in the Rhine catchment area are presented with undesirable quality influences that are the result of point source or diffuse emissions. In addition, information is provided to various authorities (universities, research institutes and authorities) on research results and water quality data.
