  1. TRANS2 for more future-proof waterways

    How can inland shipping adapt to and gain more control over the consequences of a changing climate? Over the past two years, 15 parties have been working on this issue in the TRANS2 research project, led by Deltares; the transition to climate-proof and sustainable Rotterdam hinterland transport. Transport by water faces major challenges, from…

  2. Improving sponge effect landscapes

    Sponge effects involve natural ways of retaining water in the water and soil system. This helps reduce the impact of flooding and drought, as well as preventing further loss of biodiversity.     Resilient cities Health water, soil Floods Water supply Drought

  3. From a ‘green soup’ to clean water in the ditch

    BioValves developed an innovative mobile water filtration system inspired by how mussels work. Thanks to a grant from the NEW-TTT programme, BioValves got the chance to further develop and validate their idea. The hydraulic performance of the water filtration system was thoroughly tested in Deltares' research facilities.     Health water, soil

  4. European Digital Twin Ocean – EDITO ModelLab

    The European Digital Twin Ocean platform makes knowledge, data and tools available to every citizen, researcher and policymaker to enable them to better use marine and coastal areas worldwide. The EDITO ModelLab also gives them the opportunity to contribute with their own knowledge.     Health water, soil Floods Energy transition

  5. Serious game for groundwater extraction negotiations in Vietnam

    Livelihoods in the world's deltas, including the Mekong delta, are threatened by anthropogenic and climate factors. Upstream dam construction and overextraction of water and sediment resources lead to droughts, accelerated land subsidence, deterioration of water quality and salinisation of water resources. One of the main problems mentioned in…     Subsidence Water supply Sea level rise Drought

  6. Innovative drainage for freshwater supply in Zeeland

    Agriculture in the Dutch province of Zeeland is threatened by drought and salinisation. Farmers on Schouwen-Duiveland are struggling with limited freshwater resources and rising saltwater pressure. To meet this challenge, Deltares is working with farmers and governments on an innovative drainage solution. This system helps retain rainwater and…     Health water, soil

  7. Climate change in relation to vector borne diseases – One Health PACT

    Outbreaks of (new) infectious diseases in humans and animals are occurring more often and worldwide. That is linked to various factors, such as international trade and travelling, population growth and climate change. In the Netherlands, a relatively large number of people, livestock and animals live near each other. Combined with our water-rich…     Health water, soil

  8. Reducing cascading impacts of flooding in Small Island States

    Many Small Island States frequently face significant flooding, causing loss of life and damage to property, with cascading impacts on agriculture and infrastructure. Due to climate change, intensifying extreme weather events and rising sea levels will exacerbate these hazards. At the same time, these states are highly vulnerable to increasing…     Floods

  9. Nature-based Solutions in New Orleans and Charleston

    In New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina caused 1,833 deaths and over $153 billion in damage in 2005. Afterwards, much was invested in large-scale water safety such as levees and in hundreds of small-scale green-blue facilities such as 'Nature-based Solutions (NbS)'. Examples include wadis, rain gardens and permeable pavements. Charleston also has many…     Subsidence Floods Resilient cities

  10. Digital Twins

    Digital Twins play a key role across a range of industries. They help their users efficiently within a single digital system, enabling stakeholder engagement in complex environments. As such, they are becoming increasingly prevalent in modelling approaches. Deltares is at the forefront of the Digital Twin revolution, working on several key…

  11. Next step towards zero pollution of groundwater (NINFA project)

    The pollution of groundwater is a threat for our water availability. Within the EU project NINFA (“Taking action to prevent and mitigate pollution of groundwater bodies”), we study the effects of pollution by nutrients and chemicals on the groundwater quality. We want to help achieve the zero pollution goal. Deltares is work package leader “Risk…     Health water, soil

  12. Knowledge of Ecology for the Energy Transition (KEEN)

    The energy transition will affect quality and life in water, on land, and in the soil. Together with TNO, WUR and KWR, Deltares is studying the effects of scaling up renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, aquathermal energy, and soil energy to ensure that our transition to a sustainable future will be both effective and ecologically sound.
