Rijkswaterstaat

Overview

Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) is the executive agency of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. It is responsible for the design, construction, management, and maintenance of the Netherlands' primary infrastructure, including roads, waterways, and water systems. Founded in 1798, RWS has evolved over the years to address public works, flood protection, and transportation needs, ensuring safety, mobility, and quality of life for the Dutch public.

The agency operates through 10 regional services and several specialist units, focusing on tasks such as flood protection, road and waterway management, and sustainable infrastructure planning. Key projects include the Delta Works for flood defense, the Betuweroute railway, and the HSL-Zuid high-speed rail line. RWS collaborates with various stakeholders, including provinces and local authorities, to achieve national goals and promote efficient travel and clean water across the country.
