Study on creating a Vesdre Laboratory to tackle floods and droughts
Official title: Proposition de résolution visant à confier à l'Institut wallon de l'évaluation, de la prospective et de la statistique (IWEPS) une mission d'étude et de conseil en vue de la concrétisation d'un « Laboratoire Vesdre » afin d'opérationnaliser les mesures de lutte contre les sécheresses et les inondations et d'adapter le territoire au dérèglement climatique
Status: The proposal has been submitted and is waiting to be considered by parliament. (parliament: ‘Tabled’)
In plain language
- Parliament asks the Walloon Government to task research institute IWEPS with studying how to set up a 'Vesdre Laboratory'. This small technical team would help put flood and drought management plans into practice.
- The proposal mainly concerns local authorities, organizations, and residents in the Vesdre valley, and potentially other Walloon river basins later on.
- For you, this would provide an accessible, local single point of contact for questions about rebuilding, water management, and building permits.
