The Government Service for Land and Water Management (DLG) is an agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV). The DLG is committed to cooperation in finding solutions that satisfy the demands of local authorities and citizens, and which also take an area's specific features into account. When developing open spaces for recreation, nature, water management and agriculture, DLG translates and implements abstract policy into tangible projects. To achieve this, DLG acquires land, redevelop it and then transfer it to administrative authorities and individual farmers. DLG also pools various financial resources and has detailed knowledge of available subsidies. Within a project, DLG works on behalf of several government authorities. Its extensive network of government authorities and organizations facilitates the realization of these projects.
