A new integrated river basin information system

Since 2001, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the National Institute for Integrated Water Management and Wastewater Treatment (RIZA) are working together on the development of a new integrated river basin information system. This new information system is based on the National Accounting Matrix including Environmental Accounts (NAMEA), developed by Statistics Netherlands by the end of the eighties. However, until recently, water was not included in NAMEA’s environmental accounts.
