8 Exercises: Fictitious Case Studies
Behind the dike a complex network of nature and landscape conservation areas were
developed over time. These areas show overlap with compensation measurements for
several infrastructure and development projects. Besides the national regulations the
consideration of the European Water Framework Directive (see 6.1.1) and its daughter
Directives are mandatory.
Different organizations are representing this sector, for example, NGOs (local or national), nature conservation administration, a technical advice body for the government
and district government as lowest part of the different administration levels. Additionally,
the Ministry of Water and Environment has to be involved. Furthermore, nature conservation is a crucial part of the spatial planning system, thus, the different levels responsible
for spatial/physical planning should be involved, too.
8.2.5 Water Management
The description of the water management sector is split into two parts: (i) drainage
management and (ii) ground water management (i.e., drinking water supply).
Drainage Management
In the area of concern the surface water management is conducted by self-organized bodies
since centuries. The drainage system grew about the last 100 years to an efficient system
of ditches and canals, pumping stations and locks. The basic philosophy of the responsible
water board is to drain the surface water as fast as possible out of both rural and urban
area. With the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (see 6.1.1) and some
new regulations from physical planning, for example, to build retention ponds in new
housing or industrial areas, the original system works mainly to fulfill the aims of the
water boards. One of the main tidal gates to drain the area of the water board is in the dike
stretch of concern.
Organizations to be considered from drainage management are the water board,
a technical advisory body for the administration and the ministry of water and
environment.
Ground Water Management
In ancient times people at the coastal strip gained their drinking water out of cisterns and
small retention ponds because the water in the ditches was saline. Over time the population grew and the provision of the people with drinking water was limited. A company
for drinking water was founded and installed several wells in the coastal area to extract
drinking water from the ground water body. One of the drinking water works with several
wells is in your area of concern.
Organizations you have to deal with are the company for drinking water supply and
the district government which is responsible for the permission of extracting ground water
and the security of public supply.
