The Netherlands' unique approach to water management can provide some key flood preparedness lessons for countries around the world, experts have told CNBC.
It comes shortly after intense rainfall and flooding wreaked devastation across parts of western Europe earlier this month.
"At the same time, as always with these challenges that our society faces, we have to use this disaster again as a stepping stone or a learning moment," Ovink said. One key reason the Netherlands was able to cope with a large amount of water moving through its river system during the recent flooding disaster was that "a lot of effort" and investment had gone into improving the country's flood defense in recent years, Ovink said.
