TKI Water Technology Day 2026: from monitoring to action for better water quality

The focus is on turning monitoring data into action. How can innovative monitoring and information systems support better decisions and more effective water quality management?

Through practical examples, interactive sessions and the new roadmap 'Action-oriented monitoring for water quality management', companies, research organisations, public authorities and water managers will explore the innovations needed to address today’s and tomorrow’s water quality challenges.

The roadmap provides the starting point for the day. It shows that the challenge is not only to develop new measurement technologies, but also to translate data more quickly into useful insights and practical action. Key areas include innovative sensors, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, digital twins, and data and information infrastructure.

On 16 September 2026, the roadmap was presented to the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management at the VPdelta field lab in Rotterdam Zoo. Read the news article about the launch of the roadmap.

Building on the roadmap

During the TKI Water Technology Day, we will build on this work. 

Which innovations can accelerate the move from monitoring to action? How can new technologies be adopted more effectively in practice? And what collaboration is needed to speed up innovation in water quality monitoring, information provision and decision-making?

The day will offer plenty of opportunities to share knowledge, collaborate and make new connections.

TKI Water Technology is convened by Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) and Water Alliance.
