Monitoring data products
The Department of Public Works and Water Management (Rijkswaterstaat), one of the NODC partners, is responsible for National Monitoring Programmes for marine and fresh waters via monitoring networks and repeated surveys in Dutch waters. Information of the water quality is collected for maintenance and evaluation of the national policy and as part of international agreements. Physical oceanography parameters are monitored as part of the protection against the sea, to support various activities, such as harbour operations, shipping, offshore industry, and together with chemical, biological and geological monitoring for environmental and coastal management. Rijkswaterstaat operates several dedicated websites, that give overview and access to data products based upon these monitoring data.
http://www.getij.nl/ gives tidal predictions for Dutch gauges on the North Sea, the adjacent estuaries and the tidal rivers. Most gauges included belong to the National Water Level Measuring Program of Rijkswaterstaat. Also, a few gauges of the Port of Rotterdam for the harbour area of Rotterdam have been included. A few locations in Zeeland are regional gauges in the ZEGE network.


www.waterstat.nl gives various statistics which are representative for a location or an area in the Dutch waters in a certain year. The input for the statistics is provided by the data, collected via the National Monitoring Programmes. This site is only available in Dutch.

An
North Sea Atlas The North Sea Atlas (www.noordzeeatlas.nl) contains maps with data which are related to the water system, use, policy and management of the Dutch part of the North Sea. The information has been depicted on maps of the North Sea, the Dutch Continental Shelf (NCS) or of the Dutch coastal area, depending on the nature of the subject or the information offered. The North Sea Atlas has been manufactured for the North Sea Interdepartmental Consultation Directorate (IDON), a cooperative board of 10 ministries of the Netherlands.
NL Oil and Gas PortalThis portal (www.nlog.nl) is managed by TNO, one of the partners of NODC, at the request of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs to provide information about oil and gas exploration and production in the Netherlands and the Dutch sector of the North Sea continental shelf. It gives interactive maps and details about licenses, boreholes, seismic surveys, platforms and pipelines and related information.
