  1. Improved drought early warning and forecasting (DEWFORA)

    Deltares participated in this DEWFORA (Drought Early Warning Forecasting) project that developed a framework for the provision of drought early warning and response for the improvement of drought impact mitigation in Africa. This framework covers the whole chain from monitoring and vulnerability assessment, through to forecasting, warning,…     Drought

  2. National potential of aquathermal energy

    One of the options that has received limited attention in the heating transition to date is aquathermal energy. In this study, CE Delft and Deltares produced an estimate of the potential of the various types of aquathermal energy. Their assessment demonstrated that the lack of attention is not justified: aquathermal energy could, in theory, make…     Energy transition

  3. 3D visualisation, to get the most out of your simulation results

    Forecasting water levels and flows have been an ongoing challenge for scientists, mathematicians and civil engineers for decades. Today’s abundance of data and increased computational power open the way to efficiently simulating ever more complex flows. And other processes, such as, sediment transport, waves, water quality, morphological…

  4. Guidelines for effective plastic removal from rivers

    Allseas asked Deltares to determine optimal locations in rivers for removing plastic litter. Where should a plastic capture device be located to be most effective in removing litter?

  5. Understanding the effects of floating solar panels in Andijk

    Solar energy is a popular clean energy source to realise the energy transition. In the Netherlands, solar panels on roofs of houses and buildings are already commonplace. Meadows are also popular for accommodating solar panels. However, space for large-scale generation in the Netherlands is scarce. Increasingly, floating solar panels are seen as…     Energy transition

  6. Marker Wadden

    Marker Wadden is a group of natural islands located in the Markermeer. The islands are made with excess sediment taken from the lake bottom. The Marker Wadden were constructed to combat the loss of biodiversity in the area. As of 2017, they are being thoroughly researched. Between 2017 and 2022 in the Marker Wadden Knowledge and Innovation…     Health water, soil

  7. What does an aquathermal system cost?

    Policy-makers, heating companies and organisations behind initiatives who want to implement aquathermal energy can now make a realistic estimate of the costs per GJ of heat supplied and carbon emissions for their aquathermal systems. Researchers in the WarmingUP heating collective have drawn up detailed cost calculations for seven realistic…     Energy transition

  8. FATracker: Deep-learning based observation of fat, oil and grease layers in wastewater pumping stations

    The accumulation of floating deposits of fat, oil and grease (FOG) causes pump sump failure in many wastewater drainage systems. The configuration of pumping stations hampers the transportation of floating debris (such as oils or plastics), which accumulates on the surface of the sump.     Future proof infrastructure

  9. Next Generation Drought Index

    The Deltares’ Next Generation Drought Index provides timely and relevant drought information for any specific sector at the local level in data scarce regions, allowing to detect drought and its sector-specific impacts and risks at early stages.     Drought

  10. Environmental impact of tidal power in the Eastern Scheldt Storm Surge Barrier

    In 2015, an array of 5 tidal turbines was installed in the Eastern Scheldt Storm Surge Barrier. To investigate the impact of these turbines, different research projects have been set up. The aim of these research projects is to investigate the impact of tidal energy extraction on the environment.     Energy transition

  11. 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…

  12. 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
