  1. Global modelling of tides and storm surges

    Extreme sea levels, caused by storms and high tides, can cause coastal flooding and erosion. With sea-level rise and climate change, low-lying areas around to world will experience increased risks. To mitigate these risks, there is a need for accurate forecasts on when and where extreme sea level will occur and a good understanding how risks will…

  2. Supporting the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative

    The Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) is a joint undertaking of the African Union Commission (AUC), the United Nations, and the World Bank (WB). The ACMI is designed to support the efforts of the AUC and African nations to both harness the potential of mobility in the context of the climate crisis, as well as to address climate-forced…     Drought

  3. Paramaribo Drainage management project

    The Government of Suriname is implementing the Saramacca Canal System Rehabilitation Project (SCSRP) with a loan from the World Bank. The project aims to reduce the flood risk for people and assets in Greater Paramaribo and to improve flood resilience. Component 1 of the SCSRP project is the rehabilitation of the Saramacca Canal sluices and locks…

  4. Spanjaards Duin dune area

    Spanjaards Duin (40ha) is a new dune area, constructed in 2008/9 in front of the existing dunes of the Delfland coast near The Hague (the Netherlands). The area will compensate for predicted quality loss of rare and vulnerable dune habitats due to the extension of the Port of Rotterdam (Maasvlakte 2). Deltares has acted as advisor for…     Health water, soil

  5. Aquifer Storage and Recovery for sustainable banana production in the Magdalena region, Colombia

    Improving water management techniques in the banana sector is one of the prioritised topics for the coming years and is a cornerstone of the bilateral agenda on circular agriculture of the Dutch Embassy in Colombia. As part of the Partners for Water program, a project has been initiated to foster collaboration between Dutch and Colombian…

  6. Integrated Flood Resilience Strategy for Yangon City 2021-2040

    Over the recent years there has been a change in the way the city of Yangon is dealing with floods. The city is growing rapidly and the impact of flooding is becoming more visible in the way it limits the city’s social and economic development.

  7. New development in particle tracking forecasting secures 2nd place in forecasting challenge

    Deltares USA has teamed with Deltares Netherlands to enter the DARPA Forecasting Floats in Turbulence (FFT) challenge. This open competition entails participants to provide a 10-day trajectory forecast, 22nd Nov to 3rd Dec 2021, for the 90 spotters released by DARPA in the Atlantic Ocean.

  8. Saint-Louis, caught between two threats

    Saint-Louis, Senegal, is caught between two threats. The coastal town in northern Senegal is located on a sand spit at the mouth of the Sénégal River, where high river levels cause flooding during the wet season. At the same time, the city borders on the sea, which means that storms and waves also cause flooding and coastal erosion on the narrow,…

  9. Estimating plastic discharges from rivers and coastlines in Indonesia

    Inland communities can generate large amounts of mismanaged plastic, which can be mobilised and transported into the sea through runoff and rivers. Quantifying plastic inputs from land-based sources and identifying those hotspots that are contributing the most to these leakages is key to target appropriate measures and monitor the effectiveness…     Health water, soil

  10. Framework for sustainable investments in the Blue Economy

    The importance of the Blue Economy is increasing quickly in the global economies. There is a better recognition of the potential of Blue Economy to give impulse to economic development, employment and innovation. Importantly, a sustainable Blue Economy can play a central role in alleviating the pressures on land resources, offering new…     Health water, soil

  11. Extreme wave loads on platforms offshore wind

    Deltares has recently applied detailed CFD modelling to compute extreme wave loads on resting and external working platforms for the Vesterhav Offshore Wind Farm, Denmark, that is to be constructed by Vattenfall.

  12. City of Antananarivo: New concepts to combine Nature Based Solutions with evacuation during floods

    Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar and its most populated city, faces several urban challenges. Water-related challenges, such as urban floods and water pollution, are especially relevant, since they are interconnected and have a high social, economic and ecological impact. Moreover, they commonly affect some of the most vulnerable…
