First visitors for the Westland ASR Showcase in Holland

The 36th International Association for Hydro-Environmental Engineering and Research (IAHR) visited relevant water innovations on July 1st. About 130 people from the international water sector selected the DESSIN showcase in the Westland, where rainwater surpluses are stored and currently recovered for irrigation. Visitors were first invited to the inside information centre with relevant background information and information on related systems in the Netherlands provided by Marcel Paalman (KWR). The second part of the visit consisted of a demonstration of the system in the field (Koen Zuurbier, KWR). Here, information signs were placed to provide a clear explanation of this ecosystem service.

The transformation to showcase is a collaboration of DESSIN and the Valorisation Program Deltatechnology (www.vpdelta.nl). The official opening of the Showcase will be in August.
