Stratigraphic modeling with the Delft3D GeoTool

Characterisation and visualisation of the subsurface

The Delft3D GeoTool is an open-source software, which allows to easily setup and run Delft3D simulations, populate, access, and mine a database of numerical river delta models, and export relevant data to existing software used…

Protecting Colombo against future floods

Urban resilience

Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, was hit in May 2016 by the worst flooding since 1989. Encroachment of valuable wetland systems, informal settlements and less efficient urban drainage systems contributed to the intensity of…

Salvage and wreck removal

Investigated and advised the P&I Club on suitability of soil conditions around the Baltic Ace area to enable lowering by dredging. This was achieved by analyzing available geological and geotechnical data. When the dredging option…

Nutrient Monitoring Network for Agriculture-Specific Surface Water

Monitoring and modelling of ecosystems

Intensive farming in the Netherlands produces vast amounts of manure that is spread on fields and pastures. This manure, in combination with other fertilizers, results in excessive concentrations of nitrogen and phosphate in soil, groundwater…

Time traveling in the Netherlands: Paleo-maps

Characterisation and visualisation of the subsurface

Deltares developed this app 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…

Energy saving by implementing first smart thermal grid for buildings

Heating and cooling networks

TU Delft and Deltares have joined forces with Deerns, Kuijpers, Priva and Van Beek to realise the first smart thermal grid for buildings in the Netherlands on the TU Delft campus. Smart thermal grids help…
