From source to sea transport and fate of plastic waste Indonesia
The World Bank has published Deltares-led study estimating plastic waste discharges from land-based sources in Indonesia. In this study, we provide the first Indonesia-wide assessment integrating local waste data with actual hydrological conditions to tell the story of how local waste handling practices contribute to marine plastic pollution.-
Global Water Watch: a platform to be developed by Deltares, WWF and WRI funded by Google
Societies and economies are under threat because of the unreliability of per capita water resources due to climate change, non-sustainable use and political instability. Worldwide water information is essential to address this fundamental challenge. To stimulate access to water information, the Dutch research institute Deltares has – with its partners World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Wide Fund (WWF) – received financial support from Google.org for the development of an app containing world-wide, high-resolution, near-real-time, water data. -
Global map shows nineteen percent of the global population may face a high probability of subsidence

According to the researchers which published the map in Science nineteen percent of the global population and twelve percent of the global gross domestic product may face a high probability of subsidence.
