Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## NL Water Extraction Ban Monitor (Onttrekkingsverbod) Get the current Dutch surface-water extraction ban status per zone for 7 water authorities (waterschappen), sourced directly from their official ArcGIS open-data services — plus the official legal water-scarcity priority ranking ("verdringingsreeks") classification tool. ### When should an AI agent use this? - "Is there a water extraction ban currently active in this area of Waterschap De Dommel?" - "Which zones in Waterschap Aa en Maas currently have an extraction ban?" - "Give me all active extraction bans across the covered Dutch water authorities." - "If I use water for agricultural irrigation, what priority category applies during a water shortage in the Netherlands?" - "Compare extraction ban coverage between Vechtstromen and Hunze en Aa's." ### What this Actor does - Fetches zone-level extraction ban status directly from 7 water authorities' official ArcGIS services (no scraping): De Dommel, Vallei en Veluwe, Vechtstromen, Aa en Maas, Hunze en Aa's, Brabantse Delta, and Stichtse Rijnlanden (HDSR). - Normalizes each authority's own data model (they differ — some publish an explicit status field, others model a ban as the mere existence of a zone in a dedicated layer) into one consistent output schema. - Optionally classifies a water use type (drinking water, agriculture, industry, etc.) against the official Dutch "verdringingsreeks" — the legal priority order used to allocate scarce water — as a pure classification with no network call. - Each source is fetched independently: if one water authority's service is temporarily unavailable, the others still deliver results (with a warning logged for the failed one). **Coverage note**: the Netherlands has 21 water authorities in total. This version covers 7 — chosen because each publishes a genuinely live, machine-readable open-data source (verified individually; there is no shared national data standard between them). Several others were investigated but deliberately excluded: two (Amstel Gooi en Vecht, Delfland) appear to have no extraction-ban regime at all (they are boezem areas fed by external water supply); a few more (Hollands Noorderkwartier, Scheldestromen, Rijn en IJssel) publish GIS layers that don't map cleanly to a simple banned/allowed status without risking a wrong interpretation. The remaining ones are not yet covered (no public GIS source found — communicated only via news articles). ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `waterschappen` | string[] | Which water authorities to include: `de-dommel`, `vallei-en-veluwe`, `vechtstromen`, `aa-en-maas`, `hunze-en-aas`. Default: all 5. | | `watergebruikType` | string | Optional: get the verdringingsreeks priority category for a water use type (`drinkwater`, `energievoorziening`, `kleinschalig_hoogwaardig`, `landbouw_beregening`, `industrie_overig`, `natuur`). Leave empty to skip. | | `maxResults` | integer | Maximum number of zone records to return across all selected authorities (1-2000). Default `1000`. | ### Output One flat JSON record per extraction zone: ```json { "land": "NL", "tipo": "onttrekkingsverbod_zone", "waterschap": "Aa en Maas", "gebied": "District Boven Aa", "onttrekkingsverbodStatus": "volledig", "typeVerbod": "Onttrekkingsverbod", "bronType": "oppervlaktewater", "verbodStartDatum": null, "verbodEindDatum": null, "bronDatum": "2026-07-09T04:29:36.000Z", "bronUrl": "https://gisservices.aaenmaas.nl/arcgis/rest/services/EXTERN/OnttrekkingsverbodOppwater/MapServer/1/query?...", "datumOpgehaald": "2026-07-19T09:42:42.588Z" } ```` When `watergebruikType` is set, one additional record is added: ```json { "land": "NL", "tipo": "verdringingsreeks_classificatie", "watergebruikType": "landbouw_beregening", "categorie": 4, "categorieNaam": "Overige belangen (economische afweging, ook natuur)", "omschrijving": "...", "disclaimer": "Dit is een indicatieve classificatie... GEEN bindend besluit." } ``` ### Use cases - Agricultural irrigation planning for farms in the covered water authority areas. - Advisory/legal support for clients holding a water extraction permit. - Insurance/reinsurance risk screening for Dutch agricultural portfolios. - Understanding legal water-allocation priority before a drought escalates. ### Pricing This Actor uses Apify's Pay-Per-Event (PPE) pricing model. - **Actor Start:** $0.00005 (Apify default) - **`zone-record`:** $0.004 per delivered extraction zone record - **`onttrekkingsverbod-signaal`:** $0.015 per zone record currently under a full or partial ban - **`verdringingsreeks-classificatie`:** $0.004 per classification record (only when `watergebruikType` is set) ### Legal Data sourced exclusively from official Dutch water authorities' public open-data services (ArcGIS) and the official verdringingsreeks categories (Besluit kwaliteit leefomgeving, via iplo.nl). No personal data is processed. This Actor reports the latest officially published status; it does not provide legal advice, and the verdringingsreeks classification is an indicative estimate, not a binding decision — see the disclaimer field in that record. ### FAQ **Q: Why only 7 of the 21 Dutch water authorities?** A: There is no shared national data standard for extraction ban status — each authority publishes its own, differently-structured open-data source (or none at all). These 7 were individually verified to have a genuinely live, machine-readable source with an unambiguous banned/allowed status. Coverage may expand in future versions. **Q: What does "gedeeltelijk" (partial) mean?** A: Some water authorities (e.g. Aa en Maas) distinguish a full ban from a more limited "beperkt onttrekkingsverbod" — reflected as `gedeeltelijk` in the output. **Q: What is the verdringingsreeks?** A: The Dutch legal priority ranking (4 categories) used to allocate water among competing interests during a water shortage. Category 1 has highest priority (last to be cut off), category 4 lowest. *** *Zoekwoorden: onttrekkingsverbod, waterschap droogte, beregeningsverbod, wateronttrekking verboden, verdringingsreeks, watertekort Nederland.* ### Keywords netherlands, drought, water-extraction, onttrekkingsverbod, waterschap, verdringingsreeks, agriculture-risk, insurance-risk, climate-risk, open-data, water-scarcity ### Changelog #### 0.2.0 - Added 2 more water authorities: Brabantse Delta and Stichtse Rijnlanden (HDSR) — 7 total. #### 0.1.0 - Initial release: extraction ban zones for 5 water authorities (De Dommel, Vallei en Veluwe, Vechtstromen, Aa en Maas, Hunze en Aa's), plus the verdringingsreeks priority classification tool. # Actor input Schema ## `waterschappen` (type: `array`): Which Dutch water authorities (waterschappen) to include.
