  1. Global Groundwater Risk Indicators

    In this project, Deltares and Utrecht University will provide global scale indicators of groundwater related risks and sustainable groundwater use, under current and past climate and socio-economic conditions.     Water supply

  2. Seepage system protects freshwater lens in Perk Polder

    In the Perk Polder in the Dutch province of Zeeland, a new tidal and nature area is being built outside the dike on behalf of Rijkswaterstaat: 75 hectares of salt marshes and mud flats are being added to the Western Scheldt. This could affect the groundwater in the adjoining agricultural land. As a result, Deltares has been studying the effect on…     Water supply

  3. Flooding projections for oil palm plantations in the Rajang Delta peatlands, Sarawak, Malaysia

    Deltares experts are investigating how deforestation and drainage of tropical peatlands in Sarawak, Malaysia will cause subsidence in the future. Subsidence leads to increased water management problems and flooding.

  4. Brisbane river catchment flood study

    In 2011, major floods in the Brisbane River catchment led to 3.5 to 4.5 billion Australian dollars in damages and 35 fatalities. The government of Queensland, Australia, recognized the need for an improved flood management plan, and issued a call for a catchment-wide flood study to support it.

  5. Climate change risk assessments and adaptation for roads - the ROADAPT project

    Infrastructures are the backbone of our society. Citizens, companies and governments have come to rely on and expect uninterrupted availability of the road network. Extreme weather is an important factor for the reliability of the road network. It is generally understood that the climate is changing and that this will have significant effects on…

  6. Cumulative Impacts and Joint Operation of Small-scale Hydropower Cascades Supported by REDP

    Small Hydropower (SHP) in Vietnam is defined as having less than 30 MW of installed power and is considered to have an important current and future contribution to renewable energy generation. Already more than 370 small hydropower plants are operational or under construction. A further several hundreds of plants are planned, with a total power…

  7. Development of a water allocation model for major basins in Myanmar

    The Netherlands Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment provides support to the Government of Myanmar in the development of an Integrated Water Resources Management Strategy for Myanmar, and has signed an MoU with the Myanmar Ministry of Transport, in name of the Myanmar National Water Resources Committee.     Water supply

  8. Exploration of efficient and cost-effective use of LiDAR data in coastal lowland/peatland landscape mapping and management

    Deltares, with partners in several projects, is pioneering the use of large-scale but cost-effective LiDAR data collection in coastal lowlands, for spatial planning, management of peatlands and modelling of flood risks.     Floods Subsidence

  9. Better use of technical knowledge can cut maintenance costs for infrastructure

    Municipal authorities and their advisers need a better understanding of the opportunities afforded by technical solutions and new developments to mitigate the high maintenance costs associated with land subsidence. This is the conclusion of a study conducted by Deltares and CROW, which also found that newly-developed and existing knowledge is not…

  10. Developer of SlowMill conducts product tests in Delta Flume

    Entrepreneur Erwin Croughs tested his SlowMill product in the Delta Flume in collaboration with Deltares. The SlowMill produces energy from water flows.     Energy transition

  11. REFRESH Adaptive Strategies to Mitigate the Impacts of Climate Change on European Freshwater Ecosystems

    Understanding how freshwater ecosystems will respond to future climate change is essential for the development of policies and strategies to protect aquatic and riparian ecosystems. Deltares participates in a European research project to develop the scientific basis for measures to restore freshwater ecosystems to good ecological health or to…     Health water, soil

  12. KnowSeas: Knowledge-based sustainable management for Europe’s seas

    Europe’s four regional seas (Baltic, Black, Mediterranean and NE Atlantic) have suffered severe environmental degradation due to human pressure. Existing measures to manage pressures have proven inadequate and the EC has responded by proposing a new policy (Maritime Strategy Blue Book) and environmental legislation (Marine Strategy Framework Directive).
