Added. One really appreciates having dry feet, when living below sea-level. ;-) --Kim Bruning (talk) 22:09, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Water boards[edit]
I think the article should elaborate a bit on the relationship with the Water boards.
English name of Rijkswaterstaat[edit]
The ministry uses the name 'Rijkswaterstaat' in English[1]. The current title here ('Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management') is an outdated name. Should this page be updated to reflect Rijkswaterstaat's own naming conventions? --Hermandirkzw (talk) 10:29, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management → Rijkswaterstaat – Since a few years the name Rijkswaterstaat is used in all languages. Translations are no longer in use and are actively discouraged. Herriemand (talk) 19:30, 23 May 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. --lettherebedarklight – 晚安 (おやすみなさい)。 08:24, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 05:13, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- The English-language section of the Dutch government's website uses the long name. And so does the article. Dr. Vogel (talk) 19:39, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
- It's the old name, not long name. If it is still used somewhere, that's because it hasn't been updated yet. In the writing guide (Dutch)(p. 36) of Rijkswaterstaat it states that Rijkswaterstaat should never be translated. Herriemand (talk) 15:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose. Wikipedia is not the place to promote use of the new name. We follow common usage. The claim that Translations are no longer in use and are actively discouraged is only half true, and that half is irrelevant to us here. They are in use. Andrewa (talk) 05:40, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management → Rijkswaterstaat – The old name(NOT long name) is not used by anyone and is not common usage anymore, any government and new documents don’t use the old name, also I believe Wikipedia policy has nothing against changing of names to update with usage of the past few years also the government website has been updated Alexander vee (talk) 00:54, 2 November 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Support. Clear common name, also used on its own English-language website. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:48, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
