7. Water Board of Delfland - The New Delft Water Walk
Water Magement: For more than 700 years, the Water Board of (Hoogheemraadschap van) Delfland keeps our feet dry and manages the water quality in a large part of the province South-Holland.
The local Water Board (‘Hoogheemraadschap van’) of Delfland was established in 1289. The main tasks of the Board are to prevent flooding by building and maintaining levees, to manage the water level in the canals and polders in the region, and to collect and treat the wastewater. Ensuring good water quality is also an increasingly important task. Many people know the historic Water Authority building ‘Gemeenlandshuis’ on the Oude Delft, which was built in 1505. However, the official entrance for the Water Authority is actually on the Phoenixstraat.
