Description topics
- Supplied water
- Produced by water companies
- Water produced and purified by water companies in the Netherlands.
- Total produced by water companies
- Drinking water
- Total drinking water
- Actual groundwater
- Groundwater excluding dune water.
- Dune water
- Surface water, directly processed
- Infiltration water
- Surface water that is cleansed and pumped into the dunes where it forms a
reservoir and is further purified by infiltration.
Rain water is added to this reservoir. Water from this reservoir is
supplied on demand; after further purification it is used as drinking
water.
- Surface water, semi-filtrate
- This is partly purified water that cannot be used as drinking water.
- Produced by others
- 'Others' are non-water companies in the Netherlands and the balance of
imports and exports. A negative value means that more water has been
exported than imported.
