  1. Remediation of residual pollution using nature-based techniques (RESANAT)

    Deltares is working with several partners from the Netherlands and Flanders - with the Flemish Authority for Waste Treatment (OVAM) as the manager of the project - on the RESANAT project (Remediation of Residual Pollution Using Nature-based Techniques) to further the redevelopment of contaminated sites in the Netherlands and Flanders. Innovative…

  2. Overtopping wave impacts on storm walls and buildings situated on top of a dike (WALOWA)

    Design guidance for wave impacts on structures situated on top of a dike are typically developed for relatively deep water conditions.
  3. ROBAMCI: a system-oriented and risk-based method for managing water infrastructure

    Rijkswaterstaat, water authorities and municipal authorities invest about 16 billion euros annually in the construction, management and maintenance of infrastructure such as roads, dikes, waterways, sewers, cables, pipelines and other engineering structures (Den Heijer, 2020). Approximately 6 billion of that amount goes into hydraulic engineering…
  4. 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…

  5. Comparative study of block revetments for dikes

    In the context of the “Comparative study of block revetments for dikes”, Deltares investigated the type specific stability of all modern block revetments.
  6. Caisson Placement at Chioggia Inlet, Venice

    Physical modelling of the placement of the Venice Flood Barrier gate caissons at the Chioggia Inlet.
    Future proof infrastructure
  7. BlueCan: cutting carbon emissions by improving the water quality of lakes and ponds

    BlueCan is a tool that allows water management authorities to assess carbon emissions from ponds and lakes. The tool shows how different measures can improve water quality and reduce carbon emissions. BlueCan is a joint project involving Witteveen+Bos and Deltares.

  8. Sustainable site selection for accommodating new refugees in Uganda

    In response to the protracted refugee crisis, the Ugandan government is implementing a progressive refugee policy considered as the most generous one in the world. This project came as a response towards the expected influx of Congolese forcibly displaced persons, who will be partly accommodated in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Southern Uganda.

  9. Freshwater Availability in Mekong Delta (FAME)

    Freshwater Availability in the Mekong Delta (FAME) is a collaborative, multiphase project focusing on scoping, piloting and providing upscaling advice to national partners in Vietnam on the implementation of shallow Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) systems. These systems could provide farm-scale solutions to address the water-quality and…

  10. Tool for integrated Water Management

    To support a sustainable and equitable management of increasingly pressurised water resources, water authorities need to have access to up-to-date information on the availability, demand and use of these resources. However, up-to-date information on the availability and use of water resources is often scarce in Colombia. Moreover, this…

  11. JMP-EUNOSAT: Coherent eutrophication assessments for the North Sea, using satellite data.

    The JMP-EUNOSAT project has developed a new method for monitoring and assessment of pollution with nutrients (eutrophication). Excess nutrients stimulate algal growth, which can result in lack of oxygen and light under water for plants and animals. EU member states need to report every 6 years on the water quality of their seas for the Marine…

  12. WaterLOUPE: Mitigating water risks to improve livelihoods and reduce costs

    Socio-economic developments, higher population densities in deltas and climate change have an important impact on water resources and the natural water cycle. Water scarcity, flooding or polluted water are some possible consequences. It is becoming essential to be aware of these changes in our environment and to understand them so that we can…
