  1. Ports of the Future

    The growing number of port development projects recognises the need to shift economies and social structures towards more sustainable models. The development of a new or extended port layout requires adequate attention to a number of aspects that guarantee both sustainable port growth and a healthy ecosystem functioning. There is a need for…

  2. Mobile Services for Flood Early Warning in Bangladesh

    Bangladesh is an extremely flood prone country and an effective flood warning system is essential for preparedness. Although Bangladesh has an extensive flood forecasting system in place there are still challenges to effectively communicate this output at the local level. This project exploited this opportunity to close the information gap by…     Floods

  3. Early-Warning System for storm surge and tide in Mauritius

    The Republic of Mauritius is the first Small Island Developing State (SIDS) in the Indian Ocean with its own tide and storm surge Early-Warning System for improving preparedness and resilience to events like cyclones. Deltares developed the storm surge model together with the Ministry of Environment, Sustainable Development, Disaster and Beach…

  4. SOLUTIONS for emerging pollutants

    The range of chemicals in our aquatic ecosystems is increasing. How to deal with the ever-increasing range of chemicals found in our aquatic ecosystems? We do not know enough about them to decide if and to what extent they constitute a risk to human health and aquatic ecosystems.     Health water, soil

  5. Land subsidence research project in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam

    The Mekong Delta in Vietnam is a fertile and economically important area in Southeast Asia that is also known as Vietnam’s ‘rice bowl’. The area is subsiding at a rate of 1-4 centimetres a year, and the Vietnamese are increasingly feeling the impact: more flooding and the increasing salinisation of groundwater and surface water. The rapidly…     Subsidence

  6. Global Groundwater Risk Indicators

    In this project, Deltares and Utrecht University will provide global scale indicators of groundwater related risks and sustainable groundwater use, under current and past climate and socio-economic conditions.     Water supply

  7. Seepage system protects freshwater lens in Perk Polder

    In the Perk Polder in the Dutch province of Zeeland, a new tidal and nature area is being built outside the dike on behalf of Rijkswaterstaat: 75 hectares of salt marshes and mud flats are being added to the Western Scheldt. This could affect the groundwater in the adjoining agricultural land. As a result, Deltares has been studying the effect on…     Water supply

  8. Flooding projections for oil palm plantations in the Rajang Delta peatlands, Sarawak, Malaysia

    Deltares experts are investigating how deforestation and drainage of tropical peatlands in Sarawak, Malaysia will cause subsidence in the future. Subsidence leads to increased water management problems and flooding.

  9. Brisbane river catchment flood study

    In 2011, major floods in the Brisbane River catchment led to 3.5 to 4.5 billion Australian dollars in damages and 35 fatalities. The government of Queensland, Australia, recognized the need for an improved flood management plan, and issued a call for a catchment-wide flood study to support it.

  10. Climate change risk assessments and adaptation for roads - the ROADAPT project

    It is generally understood that the climate is changing and that this will have significant effects on the road infrastructure. Since road infrastructure is vital to society, climate change calls for timely adaptation. Road owners and operators will have to deal with the large uncertainties involved in both the projections of future climate and…

  11. Cumulative Impacts and Joint Operation of Small-scale Hydropower Cascades Supported by REDP

    Small Hydropower (SHP) in Vietnam is defined as having less than 30 MW of installed power and is considered to have an important current and future contribution to renewable energy generation. Already more than 370 small hydropower plants are operational or under construction. A further several hundreds of plants are planned, with a total power…

  12. LiDAR data in coastal lowland/peatland landscape mapping and management

    Deltares, with partners in several projects, is pioneering the use of large-scale but cost-effective LiDAR data collection in coastal lowlands, for spatial planning, management of peatlands, and modelling of flood risks.     Floods Subsidence
