Rijkswaterstaat has the responsibility for three large networks: the national highways, the national waterways and the national ‘waters’. We have had this responsibility for over 200 years!
We focus on a sustainable living environment as much as possible. Other parts of our mission are water safety, sufficient clean water, mobility on roads and waterways and digital infrastructure.
