Waterkeringen (waterschappen, IMWA)
What this layer shows
The flood defences as the waterschappen supply them nationally under the Informatiemodel water (IMWA): primaire, regionale and overige keringen. The formally established alignment is in the waterschap's legger; that remains authoritative. Works on or close to a defence fall under the waterschapsverordening, which since the Omgevingswet has succeeded the keur, and as a rule require a permit or a notification.

In these presets
Quickscan
What a consultant checks first: Natura 2000, National Parks and Ramsar wetlands, the public-law restrictions from the Wkpb register, rijksmonumenten, beschermde stads- en dorpsgezichten and World Heritage, the flood defences with their protection zone from the legger, and the province's water abstraction areas, groundwater protection areas and boringsvrije zones. The omgevingsplan and the Natuurnetwerk Nederland are missing here; for those, consult the Omgevingsloket and the provincial omgevingsverordening.
Planning
What carries through into the omgevingsplan and the watertoets: Natura 2000, the national reservations for new autowegen, the Wkpb restrictions, beschermde gezichten, World Heritage and the archaeological and cultural-historical maps of the RCE, the flood defences, protection zones and peilbesluiten of the waterschap, the ROR risk areas and the province's drinking water protection. The omgevingsplan and the bestemmingsplan themselves are not available as a map layer; you read the rules in the Omgevingsloket.
Water
Everything you discuss with the waterschap and the province: the legger with flood defences, waterstaatswerken and protection zones, the normtrajecten of the primaire keringen, the peilbesluit areas, the KRW water bodies of Rijkswaterstaat, the ROR risk areas and the waterwingebieden, grondwaterbeschermingsgebieden and boringsvrije zones. Not every waterschap supplies every layer, so an empty result is no proof that no zoning applies.
