Delta Programme Commissioner is rated 3 out of 5 in the category public policy. Read and write reviews about Delta Programme Commissioner. The Delta Programme Commissioner is a Government Commissioner charged with drawing up, updating and implementing the Delta Programme on behalf of the cabinet. Wim Kuijken is the first Delta Programme Commissioner. The Delta Programme involves the long-term safety of our country and its freshwater supply and is the result of the recommendations of the Veerman Commission (2008). The programme contains measures and provisions for water safety and the freshwater supply including the planning for this and a (rough) estimate of the costs. Where possible, the measures set down in the Delta Programme have been elaborated in an integrated manner, which means that when drawing up the Delta Programme links were sought with the policy objectives of other policy areas such as nature and spatial planning quality. Global climate change demands that dramatic measures be taken to guarantee the control of water levels and a supply of freshwater for the long term (at least until 2100).
