  1. Business Continuity Planning for industrial zones

    Many industrial zones in the world are susceptible to the impact of the weather and other natural events. Problems with the availability of gas, electricity, ICT, water, sewage and road transportation - 'lifeline utilities' - are a crucial factor. With climate change, the probability of lifeline-utility failure is likely to rise significantly.
  2. Effects of surface water thermal energy for Rijksvastgoedbedrijf

    Rijkswaterstaat wants to focus more on obtaining heat from surface water as a source of energy for heating and cooling buildings. This technology involves returning cold water to the surface water. The water temperature is changed and there is a possible impact on water quality. To prevent negative effects, Deltares worked with Techniplan to…

  3. Hoog Dalem Trial proves that residential areas can manage easily without gas

    A new energy system without a connection to the gas mains has been installed in approximately 230 houses in the Hoog Dalem district in Gorinchem, the Netherlands. The all-electric district is the only one in the Netherlands where houses are heated in winter with heat obtained from nearby ditches in summer.

  4. Subsurface energy systems in closer proximity

    How is it possible to install more subsurface energy systems closer together in a context of permits and differing interests? And what regulations are needed for areas where 'crowding' is not yet an issue?

  5. CRYSTAL clear energy storage

    In the years to come, the number of Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) systems in cities will increase sharply. In very built-up areas, these systems can affect each other. There is still little coordination of ATES systems and the adopted remedy has been to maintain large distances between them. ATES managers are concerned that neighbouring…

  6. Heating at Floriade 2022 with the Weerwater

    The Weerwater recreational lake in Almere can provide five times the expected demand for energy if energy from the surface water is used. Deltares and NUON Warmte studied this option for the Municipality of Almere. In addition to the potential for obtaining heat from the lake, this study looked at the effects on water temperature and flow. The…
  7. Europe wide use of soil energy ATES

    Our soils can provide sustainable energy. Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) is a smart way to re-use heat and cold in buildings and it is widely recognised as promising technology for sustainable energy. Global demand for heating and cooling in the built environment accounts for about 40% of total primary energy consumption. ATES is a simple…
  8. European Coastal Storm Surge for Copernicus Climate Change Services

    Under Copernicus Climate Change Services contract C3S-422-Lot2-Deltares, a consortium led by Deltares develops a consistent and unique European dataset for tide, storm surge and wave conditions. The dataset will consist of a historical reanalysis based on ERA5, and climate projections including sea level rise based on IPCC RCP 4.5 (stabilization…
  9. Added Value of Joint Action, a workshop methodology

    Looking for ways to help stakeholders understand the benefits of multifunctional approaches and joint action? And make the next step towards cooperation? The workshop methodology ‘Added Value of Joint Action’ is developed to help you with this. In a structured and step-wise approach stakeholders find out what they can achieve alone and in…
  10. Save energy with smart pumping

    After the sewage treatment plants, pumping stations are the highest consumers of energy for water authorities. It is estimated that the ‘Smart Pumping’ could cut energy consumption by 20 percent and so allow water authorities to play a role in the energy transition.

  11. Dhaka’s Sustainable Water Supply

    Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) provides water across a service area of about 400 square kilometers in Dhaka City and its surroundings. It has been relying heavily on groundwater as a source of water supply, but current groundwater abstraction is beyond sustainable yields, as evidenced by a rapidly falling water table. This and…

  12. Deltares updates the scour protection design for the Borssele Alpha & Beta substations

    Deltares has worked with HSM Offshore on the updating of the scour protection design for the Borssele Alpha & Beta offshore high-voltage substation (OHVS) platforms that connect the wind farms in the Borssele Wind Farm Zone (Netherlands) to the grid.
