Water. We drink it, we live on the water, enjoy the water nature in our boat. On a beautiful summer day we swim in it and it is the source of life for our nature, agriculture and animal husbandry. As the Rijnland water board, we have been working with the most special product on earth for 800 years. Between IJmuiden, A'dam West, Gouda and Wassenaar we ensure dry feet, clean and healthy water in lakes, ditches and canals and sufficient water of good quality. For the inhabitants of this beautiful area, that speaks for itself, but we know that it is not self-evident.
