  1. 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…     Health water, soil

  2. 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

  3. List of EU-funded research and development projects

    Deltares participates in a host of ongoing EU-funded research and development projects. A few examples:

  4. 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

  5. Multifunctional flood defences

    Flood defences protect us from the water. In the Dutch landscape, they often take the shape of dikes. However, in cities, they are sometimes less prominent. Even so, they also protect the public and businesses here.     Floods

  6. JIP OSCAR: Offshore SCour And Remedial measures

    Scour (erosion of soil around structures) is one of the main causes for foundation failure during drilling operations with jack-up platforms. In spite of being regarded as a critical issue, there is a lack of guidelines and/or validated tools to predict scour and design a scour protection at the foundations of jack-ups. Deltares therefore…

  7. Shin Ulchin Nuclear Power Plants 1 en 2: Hydraulic verification of the cooling water system

    Korea Electric Power Corporation Engineering & Construction Co., Inc (KEPCO E&C) designed the Shin Ulchin Nuclear Power Plants 1&2: “SUN 1&2”. The plants will be located North of Ulchin at the eastern part of the Korean peninsula. For these SUN 1&2 units, KEPCO E&C designed a pumping station and submerged intake and…

  8. Cutting maintenance costs for offshore wind farms using improved forecasts

    Hard winds, strong currents or high waves. Maintenance vessels for offshore wind farms often have to stay in port, or return to shore, when bad weather suddenly blows in. The resulting costs for the dozens of offshore wind farms in the North Sea are high. Operations and maintenance costs account for almost one third of the kWh price of offshore…     Energy transition

  9. GO-FRESH: Geohydrological Opportunities FRESH water supply

    In the SW delta of the Netherlands, the agricultural sector is confronted with growing impacts of water shortage and salinisation. Farmers and government are aware of the negative influence on the development of the agricultural sector. A reliable freshwater supply is considered as one of the key issues for future development and sustainable…     Water supply

  10. Morphological studies for Al Faw port

    Iraq wants to build a modern port as part of its long-term commitment to transforming Iraq into a transportation corridor between the Middle East and Europe. This will be the Al Faw Grand Port, which will be situated in a tide-dominated, muddy environment with complex sediment dynamics. Deltares studied the impact of the port on the surrounding…

  11. Global Storm Surge Information System (GLOSSIS)

    Coastal inundation by storm surges is one of the main risks for coastal cities worldwide. These risks are expected to further increase in the next few decades due to population growth, sea level rise and land subsidence. To assist worldwide early warning, the Global Storm Surge Forecasting and Information System (GLOSSIS) is developed, which…     Floods

  12. The Water Framework Directive Explorer

    The Water Framework Directive (WFD) is one of the most important policy directives in Europe for the improvement of water quality and ecology. Water management authorities such as ministries and regional water authorities must propose measures to improve the ecological status of water bodies and evaluate which measures will be the most effective.…     Health water, soil
