Summary
Jordie Netten is an urban water and data management adviser with over a decade of hands-on experience across municipalities, water boards and consultancy, now running his own practice Netten Wateradvies. He combines deep technical knowledge of hydraulic modelling, GWSW data standards and GIS with a pragmatic "getting things done" approach that helps translate complex hydrological issues into clear, actionable plans. As project lead for Stichting RIONED he helped develop and implement key data exchange modules (HYD, Kentallen, Gemalen) and is driving the evolution of conformity classes toward practical data-use levels for software vendors and asset managers. Jordie’s background as a PhD aquatic ecologist and his teaching roles give him uncommon strength in both scientific rigor and stakeholder communication, allowing him to bridge science, policy and software. He enjoys structuring and validating datasets, and is particularly effective at making geospatial data and maps genuinely useful for operational water management.
