Stevie Swenne from the Flanders Environment Agency emphasized how crucial the STORM_SAFE project is for water managers across Europe, especially those dealing with aging infrastructure. For Flanders, this project is a valuable chance to exchange ideas, share best practices, and gather reliable data—all essential for future planning.
Stevie noted that right now, a big focus is on figuring out which data we can trust. It’s still early days, but they’re confident that this project will have a lasting impact. Over the coming months and years, they’re excited to work closely with partners across the North Sea Region to make Flanders’ water systems more resilient.
