Europe wide use of soil energy ATES
Our soils can provide sustainable energy. Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) is a smart way to re-use heat and cold in buildings and it is widely recognised as promising technology for sustainable energy. Global demand for heating and cooling in the built environment accounts for about 40% of total primary energy consumption. ATES is a simple… -
European Coastal Storm Surge for Copernicus Climate Change Services
Under Copernicus Climate Change Services contract C3S-422-Lot2-Deltares, a consortium led by Deltares develops a consistent and unique European dataset for tide, storm surge and wave conditions. The dataset will consist of a historical reanalysis based on ERA5, and climate projections including sea level rise based on IPCC RCP 4.5 (stabilization… -
Added Value of Joint Action, a workshop methodology
Looking for ways to help stakeholders understand the benefits of multifunctional approaches and joint action? And make the next step towards cooperation? The workshop methodology ‘Added Value of Joint Action’ is developed to help you with this. In a structured and step-wise approach stakeholders find out what they can achieve alone and in… -
Save energy with smart pumping
After the sewage treatment plants, pumping stations are the highest consumers of energy for water authorities. It is estimated that the ‘Smart Pumping’ could cut energy consumption by 20 percent and so allow water authorities to play a role in the energy transition. Energy transition -
Case study Manila, Philippines
In this study a Delft-FEWS based forecasting system was developed to address impact based early warning for Manila Bay, Philippines. The current implementation focusses on cyclone events. The forecasting chain combines global forecasted data on storm surges, a local Delft3D FM hydrodynamic model of the bay and the hinterland and the Delft-FIAT… -
Case study Dumfries, Scotland
The focus of this project is on developing timely flood maps and impact information to support emergency responders. For this project, the catchment of the River Nith to Dumfries is being used as a pilot study. The tools and techniques have been gathered into a new framework for real-time risk/impact forecasting, referred to as FEWS-Risk. -
MSFD-Eutro: Interactive web-mapping
A demonstration of the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) for Region European North-West Shelf Seas and Area of benefit Coastal and Marine Environment – Water quality. -
Water availability in second phase of Delta Programme
The Netherlands is facing major challenges associated with climate change. Sea levels are rising and our rivers need to discharge more water. At the same time, the climate is getting warmer and drier. That has a major impact on freshwater allocation. In addition, the water system is changing due to interventions by third parties, examples being… Water supply -
Ocean modelling and Early-Warning System for the Gulf of Thailand
Storm surges associated with severe tropical cyclones are among the most hazardous and damaging natural disasters to coastal areas. The Gulf of Thailand (GoT) has been periodically affected by typhoon induced storm surges in the past (e.g. storm Harriet in 1962, storm Gay in 1989 and storm Linda in 1997). Due to increased touristic / economic… -
Nutrients Monitoring Network Agricultural Specific Surface Water (MNLSO)
The Nutrients Agricultural Specific Surface Water Monitoring Network (MNLSO) was set up in 2010 by the water boards, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, and Deltares to monitor the water quality of agriculture-specific surface water regarding nutrients. Existing monitoring sites of all water boards were selected for the… Health water, soil -
Time traveling in the Netherlands: Paleo-maps
Deltares developed the app, Paleo-maps, to enable the wide public, everyone with a smartphone, to time-travel through the landscape of the Netherlands and become more aware of our past and of the ground layers below our feet. In the app, one can then swipe back and forth to situations in the further past, zoom in and out and locate the current… -
Operational forecasting and decision support system for São Francisco River
With a length of 2,914 kilometres, the São Francisco River is one of the longest rivers in South America. 11 reservoirs are located in the São Francisco River and its tributaries. The Três Marias hydropower reservoir is the largest one on the upper river. This dam was built during the 1950s, and the reservoir has a total capacity of 19.5×109m³,…
