Digital downloads

Maps as shown on this web site are available to the users. Links shown in the tables below refer to either the digital data or to web sites or web services.

Important: Data is supplied by Rijkswaterstaat Noordzee and TNO. Although we strive for uniform data sets this is not always the case for cartographic data. This specifically applies to the projection systems used. Reason is that the data originates from different user environments. Conversions to the desired projection system will have to be executed by the user.


TNO data

TNO manages the database containing data supplied to the Dutch Government according to the Mining Act. Following data may be downloaded:

Rijkswaterstaat geographic data

Rijkswaterstaat uses and manages geographic data sets in her primary processes. Some of these data sets are available via: http://www.rijkswaterstaat.nl/zakelijk/databestanden/online_geografische_gegevens_rijkswaterstaat.

The table below lists the most relevant data types. A complete and up to date overview of available data and its meta data may be viewed using the RWS map viewer at: http://www.rijkswaterstaat.nl/apps/geoservices/mapviewer2i/.

To improve the user friendliness, individual web services consist of a layer file that combines various data types that belong together. This way they may be displayed as one map with the desired look and feel. All web services contain meta data explaining the contents, last update and coordinate system used. The websites hosted by Rijkswaterstaat are in Dutch only.
