The Dutch are well known for their expertise on water management.
To advise on urgent water issues and their prevention anywhere in the world...
a Dutch Risk Reduction-Team can rapidly be deployed for a short-term mission.
This team of experts advises governments in case of disasters like flooding...
water pollution...
or drought...
as a result of, for example, climate change.
Through the Dutch Embassy, a national government can request the assistance of DRR-Team.
