Will the voter get more say over the water board

But D66 and GroenLinks want to largely scrap those permanent seats, so that voters will have more influence on the water boards from now on. “They say: what the water board does affects everyone, so everyone should have an equal voice and not that there is an extra voice for companies, farmers and nature reserve managers,” says Vollaard. “But you can also say: they do have a lot of knowledge and know what it means if, for example, the water level in the ditches is not going well. So those representatives can bring in expertise so that they can also better manage the water board.”
