SAND Final Event

The SAND project developed an integral approach of flood management based on developing and redeveloping mineral extraction sites, dealing with flood damage alleviation, spatial quality, and water quality. Five pilot projects along the rivers Seine, Oise/Aisne (France), Erft (Germany) and Rhine and Meuse (The Netherlands) have worked together for 5 years. This project is partly EU-funded by Interreg IIIB NWE. In 2008 the SAND project finishes.
