Subsurface energy systems in closer proximity

Aquifer thermal energy systems

How is it possible to install more subsurface energy systems closer together in a context of permits and differing interests? And what regulations are needed for areas where ‘crowding’ is not yet an issue? To…

CRYSTAL clear energy storage

Renewable energy from water and subsoil

In the years to come, the number of Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) systems in cities will increase sharply. In very built-up areas, these systems can affect each other. There is still little coordination of…

Europe wide use of soil energy ATES

Aquifer thermal energy systems

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…

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…

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…

Dhaka’s Sustainable Water Supply

Clean water is vital

Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) provides water across a service area  of  about  400  square  kilometers  in  Dhaka  City  and  its  surroundings.  It  has  been  relying heavily  on  groundwater  as  a  source  of …

Deltares updates the scour protection design for the Borssele Alpha & Beta substations

Offshore Renewable Energy Sector

Deltares has worked with HSM Offshore on the updating of the scour protection design for the Borssele Alpha & Beta offshore high-voltage substation (OHVS) platforms that connect the wind farms in the Borssele Wind Farm…

Strengthening the capacities for effective implementation of the EU acquis in the field of water quality

Understanding systems: from river basin to coastal zones

Sharing experience and knowledge on the different aspects of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and other related EU acquis. That is the aim of the Twinning project in which Macedonia, Austria, Lithuania and the Netherlands…

Case study Manila, Philippines

Framework for impact based forecasting

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…

Case study Dumfries, Scotland

Framework for impact based forecasting

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…
