Regional Hydrological Systems Analysis Twente

Abstract

The report deals with reconnaissance survey of the hydrological systems at the scale 1:100,000 in the region Twente in the province of Overijssel in the eastern part of the Netherlands (see figure 11.1). The region of approximately 50 × 25 km has a diversified topography of glacial, eolian and fluvial origin with a number of existing and potential nature reserves. National, provincial and local authorities, public companies and private organisations and landowners have an interest in an integrated approach to water management from regional, down to local scales. The main focus of the report is on background information for policy formulation and management of existing and designated or potential nature reserves.
