ProValy wants to tackle the water system of the IJzer and its side streams. The project will last three and a half years, with a budget of 4.5 million euros. The aim is to prevent, adapt where necessary and communicate better.
Bart Naeyaert: “Prevention means that you avoid flooding or water shortages. You can do this by combating climate change. But when the time comes, by also ensuring that your system can infiltrate maximum water. That the watercourses are designed to receive a lot of water and that buffer space is also provided for water. And when the need is greatest and flooding occurs, it is also important to be in good contact with each other. About the correct data So that you don’t have to discuss for a long time on the French side or with us. The project also works on that.”
