The goal of the Dutch Room for the River Programme is to give the rivers more room, to be able to safely process higher water levels. At more than 30 locations, measures are taken to give the river space to reduce flood risks. The measures are designed to improve the quality of the immediate surroundings.. Room for the River. The Netherlands is under constant threat from flooding. Indeed, this threat is on the rise as the flood plains of rivers continue to shrink. What's more, water levels are rising due to more frequent and heavier rainfall. In response to this threat, the Dutch government has launched a programme called Room for the River.

The Room for the River programme was initiated by the Dutch Government to increase the safety in the Dutch delta. At more than 30 locations in the Netherlands measures were taken to literally give the rivers more room. Offer flood protection and improve the overall environmental quality in the river region, that were the objectives of the Room.. To achieve this in the Netherlands, more than 30 locations across the country have been strategically designed to make "Room for the River". This involves relocating dikes further inland, constructing high-water channels, and lowering the floodplains in some locations. These areas are inundated during periods of high water levels, thus.
