Spanjaards Duin dune area
Spanjaards Duin (40ha) is a new dune area, constructed in 2008/9 in front of the existing dunes of the Delfland coast near The Hague (the Netherlands). The area will compensate for predicted quality loss of rare and vulnerable dune habitats due to the extension of the Port of Rotterdam (Maasvlakte 2). Deltares has acted as advisor for… Health water, soil -
Aquifer Storage and Recovery for sustainable banana production in the Magdalena region, Colombia
Improving water management techniques in the banana sector is one of the prioritised topics for the coming years and is a cornerstone of the bilateral agenda on circular agriculture of the Dutch Embassy in Colombia. As part of the Partners for Water program, a project has been initiated to foster collaboration between Dutch and Colombian… -
Integrated Flood Resilience Strategy for Yangon City 2021-2040
Over the recent years there has been a change in the way the city of Yangon is dealing with floods. The city is growing rapidly and the impact of flooding is becoming more visible in the way it limits the city’s social and economic development. -
Saint-Louis, caught between two threats
Saint-Louis, Senegal, is caught between two threats. The coastal town in northern Senegal is located on a sand spit at the mouth of the Sénégal River, where high river levels cause flooding during the wet season. At the same time, the city borders on the sea, which means that storms and waves also cause flooding and coastal erosion on the narrow,… -
Estimating plastic discharges from rivers and coastlines in Indonesia
Inland communities can generate large amounts of mismanaged plastic, which can be mobilised and transported into the sea through runoff and rivers. Quantifying plastic inputs from land-based sources and identifying those hotspots that are contributing the most to these leakages is key to target appropriate measures and monitor the effectiveness… Health water, soil -
Framework for sustainable investments in the Blue Economy
The importance of the Blue Economy is increasing quickly in the global economies. There is a better recognition of the potential of Blue Economy to give impulse to economic development, employment and innovation. Importantly, a sustainable Blue Economy can play a central role in alleviating the pressures on land resources, offering new… Health water, soil -
Extreme wave loads on platforms offshore wind
Deltares has recently applied detailed CFD modelling to compute extreme wave loads on resting and external working platforms for the Vesterhav Offshore Wind Farm, Denmark, that is to be constructed by Vattenfall. -
City of Antananarivo: New concepts to combine Nature Based Solutions with evacuation during floods
Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar and its most populated city, faces several urban challenges. Water-related challenges, such as urban floods and water pollution, are especially relevant, since they are interconnected and have a high social, economic and ecological impact. Moreover, they commonly affect some of the most vulnerable… -
MOMENTUM unique research microplastics and possible effects on our health
The use of plastic materials results in the release of small plastic particles – micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) – to our environment. More research is needed into the possible effects on our health. In the MOMENTUM project, we are looking at the impact on human health from different perspectives in order to make a better assessment of the risks. Health water, soil -
3D model for computation of water levels, currents and temperatures
The North Sea is one of the most heavily used seas, with resulting competition between nature, transport, recreation, energy and food supply. How will an offshore wind farm affect the hydrodynamics and transport of fine sediment in this unique ecosystem? What impact does climate change have on water levels along North Sea coasts? Such questions… -
GBM Works and Deltares test a silent method for installing offshore wind turbine foundations
Start-up GBM Works B.V. tested a new concept for a quieter installation of monopiles (foundations of offshore wind turbine) in the Geotechnical laboratory of Deltares. The tests provided sufficient insights for the scaling up of the method for demonstration testing at the Maasvlakte 2 test location. This took part in Phase 1 of the SIMPLE project. Energy transition -
LAC: Capacity building and training
Our motto is ‘dare to share’, which we put into practice through our open source and freely available software, the emphasis on collaborative development, capacity building and hands-on training.
