“The recently launched “Digital Delta Initiative” is a

step in the right direction. This innovative programme

aims to harness and collate vast and currently

dispersed datasets to support better management of

flood control and water resources in the country

(Box 4.12).”

Finalist in various awards:

1. Show the potential for substantially lowering

the cost for managing water in all its aspects

2. Facilitate reuse of data and services:

Develop Once, Reuse Often

3. Data ownership and quality control

stay at the source

4. Focus on Enabling Services,

not Applications

5. No vendor lock-in

and no lock-outKEEP IT SIMPLE

Design principles

Findings research1. Digital Delta has both technical and social

and organization cultural challenges

2. Digital Delta needs

critical mass

3. Move standards

to the users

4. Business case driven

implementation, not just open

data for open data sake

5. Knowlegde sector can

shorten development time

by digital delta infrastructure

6. Infrastructure dilemma:

Government initiative in

startup-phase is needed

Hydro Models

Imagine all the waterdata of The Netherlands is readilyavailable for everybody……….

• Geo-information: provides the necessary structure

• Automated survey networks: the data-fundament

• New sensors, internet of things: a lot of data

• Real time hydromodels : much more data

• Social media more & more & more

• Watermanagement is changing drastically

– Operations, local, regional, national, international.

• Citizens are new “sensors” & well informed

• Models need & create huge amounts of new data

• Exponential data growth in addition totraditional sources: new challenge forgovernment:

– SMART government: integration, validation andanalysis

Smart Analytics

New sensors

Water safety & crisis response• Citizens understand why to leave

• Decisions pinpointed at the right time and the right location

• Spatial planning
