  1. Plastic litter transport in the Motagua and Escondido rivers, Guatemala

    This project investigates reducing plastic pollution in rivers through innovative solutions such as impact barriers. These barriers capture floating plastic waste before it reaches the ocean. The research took place in the Motagua and Escondido rivers in Guatemala, where we monitored the transport of plastic waste and tested the effectiveness of…     Health water, soil

  2. GREENHOOD: Capturing and recycling nutrients in agricultural areas

    In 2025, the European Horizon project GREENHOOD was launched. In this project, Deltares is working with European partners on systems to capture and recycle 50% of the current nutrient losses from agriculture and fish farming. To this end, we are designing and researching three Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in two agricultural drainage areas. We…     Health water, soil Water supply

  3. Building capacity for climate finance and water resilience

    Many countries face a dual challenge: strengthening water resilience while accessing climate finance. Too often, projects are technically sound but fail to secure funding due to weak alignment between science, governance and investment logic. Deltares bridges that gap, turning water and climate priorities into bankable project concepts.

  4. Virtual Climate Lab: increasing stakeholder engagement

    The Virtual Climate Lab makes interpreting scientific data straightforward and engaging. By combining various data layers with a detailed 3D-printed terrain model, different scenarios are brought to life. Gather around this interactive table to explore different scenarios, discuss potential impacts and make informed decisions with stakeholders.

  5. SMARTER: an EU project to increase resilience to climate change

    In the face of increasing climate risks, SMARTER, a four-year project funded by Horizon Europe, is helping to build climate resilience by working with European cities, regions and communities to develop and implement climate adaptation solutions. Deltares is partner in SMARTER.

  6. Testing innovations to enhance nature-inclusive design of offshore wind farms

    Offshore renewable energy is key to the energy transition. Yet, offshore wind farms will take up large areas and may pose a challenge to nature at sea. Can innovative design contribute to reducing the environmental impacts of offshore wind farms? Could such design even actively enhance marine ecosystems and thus make a net-positive contribution?…     Energy transition

  7. Wave modelling of the NorthWest European Coastal Shelf (NWECS)

    Reliable long-term wave timeseries are important for supporting a wide range of activities in offshore and coastal environments. These timeseries provide foundational insights into wave climate, including extreme events, seasonal variability, and long-term trends, all of which are crucial for the design, risk assessment, and operational planning…

  8. CARIB-FATE: with data to sustainable coasts

    The coral reefs around Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius (the BES islands) are important for people and nature but are under pressure from pollution and climate change. Within the CARIB-FATE project, Deltares is working with local parties to develop a digital service that maps pollution sources and dispersion in order to restore biodiversity and…     Health water, soil

  9. BlueAdapt: safeguarding coastal health in a changing climate

    Coastal communities face increasing health risks due to climate change, with rising temperatures and shifting ecosystems fostering the spread of waterborne diseases and pathogens. BlueAdapt addresses the urgent need to assess and mitigate these climate-driven risks, providing solutions to protect public health in vulnerable coastal regions.     Future proof infrastructure Health water, soil

  10. The EPIC Response Framework

    Floods and droughts cause economic and environmental damage and incalculable human suffering every year. Climate change means they increasingly affect communities around the world. Governments work hard to tackle these challenges, yet they often regard flooding and drought as two separate issues even though they are ends of the same…

  11. Availability of national groundwater reserves

    Freshwater is vital for our drinking water, agriculture, shipping, nature, energy and industry. Longer periods of drought and higher temperatures are increasing the demand for fresh water, while salt water is increasingly penetrating the country. Deltares plays an important role in addressing the increasing demand for fresh water and finding…     Water supply Drought

  12. Water Resilience Tracker: towards water-resilient societies

    By 2030, global freshwater shortages are expected to reach 40%, exacerbating issues in water access, sanitation, and biodiversity loss. Climate change accelerates these threats, with increasing floods, droughts, and rising water demand. Current approaches to water management are insufficient, yet innovative strategies – such as an integrated…
