2. Pilot Programs: Vitens is actively exploring alternative water sources and treatment methods, including a pilot project with NX Filtration to test the Ijssel river water for potential use in drinking water production. This project is part of Vitens’ strategy to secure water supplies in the face of climate change and increasing demand.
