Deutschland-Nederland LIVING Vecht-Dinkel

The main topic in LIVING is the compatibility of and synergy between several different objectives, such as flood protection, regional economic development and environmental protection in the Vecht-Dinkel system. The objectives are realized in eleven measures and projects. Amongst other, the following cross-border results will be pursued in this project; a flood forecasting model to predict floods for the Vecht, a concept for development as well an implemented water retention measure for the Dinkel, improved cycling routes along the Vecht, and the realization of a tourist meeting point near the Vecht. Because of the nature of this project, which surmounts borders and topics, efficient and effective lines of communication between the project partners along the entire river system are necessary. The knowledge exchange between partners is therefore an important part of this project.
