The Spiegelwaal in Nijmegen was created to achieve safe water levels to prevent flooding in combination with meeting water quality standards. It has since then become a bustling hub for water recreation. With a new water sports centre, nearby residential construction, and the addition of a festival compound, crowds are only growing.
Key Challenge
How can we facilitate shared use of the (Spiegel)Waal by different users, so that we can all enjoy the river and river park and ensure safety, accessibility, and biodiversity?
Possible solutions
- Tools to get real time information about the actual conditions of the waterway and the area.
- Drones and sensors.
- User-oriented services from collaborating governmental authorities.
- Signs/alerts to give visibility to the actual conditions of the waterway and the area.
- Digital borads, website, app.
Project partners involved
