Sustainable Soil Upgrading by Developing Cost-effective, Biogeochemical Remediation Approaches
Over the last two decades, the advances made in in-situ remediation have mainly originated from an engineering perspective, focusing on the intended interaction between remedial agents and contaminants. However, any remediation treatment also affects the “natural” soil conditions. These sideeffects are usually seen only as an impediment to the… -
MESMA: Monitoring and Evaluation of Spatially Managed Areas
The increasing pressures upon the marine realm call for a well planned approach of further spatial development of this area. An ecosystem-based approach to fisheries, the increasing demand for sustainable energy, coastal defence systems, building materials and safe transport routes and the need to protect marine habitats and species all compete… -
The governance of smart combinations: Rules for collaboration on flood-risk mitigation
Changing the approach to flood-risk policy (in other words, introducing a range of measures to mitigate flood risks) implies taking a new look at governance in order to create more opportunities for a customised regional approach. -
The Implementation of Adaptation: Flexible governance arrangements: obstacles and opportunities
The climate is changing. The awareness that adaptive measures are required is becoming increasingly widespread among government authorities, NGOs and market players. Obstacles such as a lack of urgency, budget cuts and conflicting interests do not play a role only during the exploratory phase of climate adaptation strategies. It is precisely… -
FRESHEM: Research into fresh water infiltration in Zeeland
FRESHEM Zeeland (FREsh Salt groundwater distribution by Helicopter ElectroMagnetic survey in the Province of Zeeland) looks at where fresh and salt water are located in Zeeland, and at what depth. This information can help farmers and market gardeners to meet their increasing need for fresh water. Water supply -
Scholte waves
Deltares regularly conducts marine seismic surveys. A recent development involves using Scholte waves to measure the stiffness of the seabed, an important parameter in many offshore and nearshore projects such as the construction of wind farms, trenching and dredging work. -
List of EU-funded research and development projects
Deltares participates in a host of ongoing EU-funded research and development projects. A few examples: -
Freshwater availability in the Delta Programme
The Freshwater Delta Decision, which is part of the Delta Programme, was drafted to ensure that adequate supplies of fresh water will continue to be available, now and in the future, for essential services such as drinking water and agriculture. Deltares provided the quantitative basis for the scenarios in the Freshwater Sub-Programme, which… Water supply -
Delft-FEWS linked to Twitter (Jakarta)
A flood warning system in Jakarta has been extended to include real-time data supplied through Twitter. The Jakarta Flood Early Warning System, J-FEWS, is based on Delft-FEWS. This is the first time that Deltares has used Twitter for Delft-FEWS. Floods -
Netherlands Hydrological Instrument
Autonomous trends, climate change and human activities are expected to have a significant impact on Dutch water management. In the context of the Delta Programme, Delta Scenarios have been drafted on the basis of long-term expectations for climate and socio-economic development. For a densely-populated country like the Netherlands, the scenarios… Health water, soil -
Monitoring crop yield anomalies in Indonesia
Indonesian farmers finance investments in rice crops. However, if harvests are poor or crops fail, they risk of losing their investments. Poor farmers have limited assets to fall back on, and the forced selling of their few available assets in order to survive can trap them in poverty. Crop insurance is a possible solution. In addition, it… Water supply -
A step closer to new and cheaper wind turbine foundations
A major increase in offshore wind capacity is expected in the coming years. However, because of shipping routes, oil and gas platforms, the visual impact and ecological considerations, wind farms will increasingly be located further offshore in deeper waters. The common monopiles, which are driven into the seabed, are no longer a practical option… Energy transition
