  1. List of EU-funded research and development projects

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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  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. Joint Industry Project OSCAR

    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&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 salinization. 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. Bubble screen separates salt and fresh water

    Fresh water is precious, so contamination by salt water should be prevented as much as possible. Deltares, Royal Haskoning and Rijkswaterstaat have developed an innovative system that almost completely prevents the penetration of salt water through locks, allows ships to pass through the locks faster, and is also quite a lot cheaper to maintain…     Water supply

  11. FAST: Foreshore Assessment using Space Technology

    The European Programme for Research is funding a consortium of five European institutions: the Netherlands (Deltares and NIOZ), United Kingdom (University of Cambridge), Romania (GEOECOMAR) and Spain (University. of Cadiz), to work on the FAST project (Foreshore Assessment using Space Technology).

  12. 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…
