  1. LAC: Disaster Risk Management and climate change: preparing for uncertainty

    Latin America and the Caribbean are exposed to multiple hazards including river and coastal floods, droughts, earthquakes and landslides. Most of these will intensify due to climate change. The World Bank Natural Disaster Hotspots study (Dilley et al. 2005) indicates that seven among the world's top 15 countries exposed to three or more hazards…

  2. LAC: Resilient infrastructure and urban water systems

    In Latin America we work together with municipalities, water councils, water boards ministries of housing and environment to reduce the flood risks of cities. Due to climate change and urbanisation the coastal, river and pluvial risks are increasing. Together with the local and regional authorities and stakeholders we analyse the water system.

  3. LAC: Managing rivers and waterways

    In Latin America we work together with local authorities to develop integrated solutions for river training, river regulation and river management that respect and balance the different economic, ecological and societal demands. We seek optimum combinations of hard and soft measures and actively develop nature-based solutions. We apply our unique…

  4. LAC: Operational water management and forecasting

    A flood forecaster, reservoir operator or operational manager in the water sector, often needs to make responsible, time critical decisions, in which it is critical to be informed by recent observations and predictions of water related events. For example, they might decide to evacuate people if there is an indication of possible flooding of…

  5. LAC: Integrated Water Resources Management: towards a water secure future

    In Latin America, just like in other parts of the world, the economy, health, ecosystems and food production all rely on this one precious resource: enough and good quality water, now and in the future. The COVID pandemic has made the need for a water secure environment even more urgent. The climate, meteorological phenomena like El Niño o La…

  6. Robust quay walls for Amsterdam

    The maintenance work is overdue on many quay walls in Amsterdam. One quay has even collapsed; some others are subsiding, with all the inevitable consequences for people and traffic. Deltares is helping the city of Amsterdam to speed up the replacement of quay walls using a smart approach, and identifying the locations that are most at risk.     Future proof infrastructure

  7. Policy support regarding PFAS in water, subsurface and sediments

    With our knowledge of the water and subsurface system, and the distribution of substances in that system, we have been advising governments recently about their policies on PFAS contamination.     Health water, soil

  8. 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…     Health water, soil

  9. 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…

  10. 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.

  11. 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

  12. 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.     Health water, soil
