Netherlands Water Centre

Come and visit the water valley for the world!

The Netherlands is fast becoming a water valley for the world. A place where international experts meet, ideas come to life, breakthroughs are made, inspiration is found, business is done and partnerships are formed.

A central meeting point is the Netherlands Water Centre, a most remarkable floating exhibition centre, in the harbour of Rotterdam.

The current exposition has a temporary character and gives a sneak preview of the exposition which will be realized by the end of 2012.

Start your journey in the Netherlands at the expo pavilion of the ‘National Centre for Water’ in Rotterdam. The exposition is a showcase for the best of water in the Netherlands and abroad, while the pavilion itself is an example of floating building, a new way of adapting to climate change. Several floating communities have already been realized in the Netherlands.
