LAC: Resilient infrastructure
Deltares supports governments, development banks, and infrastructure managers across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) in building transport infrastructure that is resilient to climate-related and geophysical hazards. In a region where disruptions can have far-reaching consequences—especially in areas with limited network redundancy—our work… -
LAC: Capacity building and training
At Deltares, capacity building is a strategic driver for resilience and impact. We embed learning, co-creation, and knowledge sharing into our projects and partnerships, especially across Latin America and the Caribbean. Guided by our “Dare to Share” moto, we promote open-source tools, collaborative development, and hands-on training that empower… -
LAC: Urban Resilience
In Latin America we work together with municipalities, water councils, water authorities, ministries of housing and environment to reduce the flood risks of cities. Due to climate change and urbanisation the coastal, river and pluvial risks are increasing. Together with the local and regional authorities and stakeholders we analyse the water… -
LAC: Disaster Risk Management and Climate Adaptation
Innovative, science-based approaches to Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and Climate Adaptation are helping to strengthen resilience across Latin America and the Caribbean. By working with governments, institutions, and communities to understand and address vulnerabilities in water systems, Deltares contributes to the development of robust and… -
LAC: Nature-based Solutions (NbS)
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are emerging as a vital strategy for sustainable development across Latin America. Deltares is actively contributing to this advancement. Through our “Building with Nature” philosophy and working with approaches such as Water as Leverage, Deltares collaborates with local governments, NGOs, and communities to… -
LAC: Managing rivers and waterways
In Latin America we work together with local authorities to develop integrated solutions for river training, river regulation and river management that respect and balance the different economic, ecological and societal demands. We seek optimum combinations of hard and soft measures and actively develop nature-based solutions. We apply our unique… -
LAC: Operational water management and forecasting
Flood forecasters, reservoir operators, and operational water managers are often required to make responsible, time-critical decisions based on the most recent observations and forecasts of meteorological and hydrological conditions. These decisions can have significant consequences—for example, initiating evacuations in response to potential flooding. -
LAC: Integrated Water Resources Management: towards a water secure future
In Latin America, just like in other parts of the world, the economy, health, ecosystems and food production all rely on this one precious resource: enough water of the right quality, now and in the future. The climate, meteorological phenomena like El Niño o La Niña, socio-economic diversity and the rich landscape of Latin American countries,… -
LAC: Small Island States (SIDs) and Dutch Caribbean
Deltares works closely with governments, research institutions, and development partners across the Caribbean islands to address pressing challenges related to climate change, freshwater security, water quality, coastal erosion, and disaster risk. Our initiatives span the Dutch Caribbean and other island nations, combining cutting-edge modelling… -
Large scale RESToration of COASTal ecosystems
Coastal ecosystems across Europe are under threat. These vital areas not only support rich biodiversity, but also provide ecosystem services to society, such as reducing flood risks and capturing carbon. The REST-COAST project is working across several European sites to demonstrate how large-scale coastal restoration can be achieved and how it… Sea level rise Future proof infrastructure Health water, soil Floods Water supply -
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 -
GREENHOOD: Capturing and recycling nutrients in agricultural areas
In 2025, the Horizon Europe 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 are… Health water, soil Water supply
