Policy uptake explanation

The Delfland regional water authority has therefore developed a new policy – Digital Delfland, part of the Dutch national Digital Delta program – in which they point out the 41,000 hectares highly industrialised and highly controlled Delfland region as testing ground for monitoring and feedback experiments. The current extensive hardware-based monitoring network of the Delfland water authority, which presents information on precipitation, water quality, water levels, pump operation and system performance, can be used for these experiments, WeSenseIt is the first Digital Delfland project providing monitoring information for all, including citizen information.
