Abstract: | This thesis evaluates the effectiveness of drinking water policies on the Dutch industrial sector. At this time, the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and Environment and Dutch drinking water companies foresee several obstacles with the water availability for the preparation of drinking water up to 2030. In the upcoming years, the Netherlands’ drinking water demand is anticipated to increase due to expected population expansion, economic growth, and climate change. Strong and effective policies are needed to decrease the demand of drinking water. Encouraging conscious and efficient use of water in the industry is one of the policies presented by the government to safeguard drinking water security in 2030. Considering the threat of drinking water shortage in the future, there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of this policy. |
