Water is the foundation of all life on earth. Climate change has made flooding and drought far more likely. Our approach to rainwater, groundwater and surface water needs to be much smarter. This is certainly also the case for Heijmans, because our operations and activities undoubtedly have a major impact on the water system. We also have a lot of in-house knowledge and expertise that allows us to regulate the quality and availability of water. Water is becoming far more important in all our projects, and rightly so.
Our approach to water and the many challenges this presents require a clear, integrated vision. Heijmans has detailed its vision in its Water Impact document ('Water raakt!') in 2024. This vision offers directions for better water management in the Dutch landscape. This knowledge has also enabled us to formulate policies with corresponding concrete actions. Water must be the guiding principle in all Heijmans projects in the foreseeable future. This helps us to make a targeted contribution to recover water quality, improve the water balance, increase water safety and reduce unnecessary (drinking) water use.
