According to André de Keijzer, the collaboration is going well: “Royal HaskoningDHV has a lot of knowledge, is close to the market, and can provide us with good support in our digital transformation.” Melchior Schenk stresses that it works the other way too: “It is essential for us to work with Rivierenland Water Authority as our ‘launching customer’. This is how our innovations can prove themselves in practice — 140 years of knowledge in the domain linked to software development and data science.”
The pilot in Haaften will run until the end of the year and therefore spans several seasons. After that, the water authority will decide on scaling-up in their work area. If the water authority opts for integral central control, then it will be the first on this scale in the Netherlands.
