To investigate how delta drowning can be prevented we investigate water flow and sediment processes and establish scenarios of for future delta development...
Due to changes in land-use suspended sediment and nutrients, derived from the Berau Delta, might negatively impact coral reef health.
The project aims to determine a system of multiscale ecotope classes that can be linked to ecosystem services of river floodplains, and can be monitored...
The Water Framework Directive aims to harmonise European water management based on a river basin approach. Because of the complexity of the directive many...
Northern Jakarta is subsiding. In a few decades from now, it may have fallen an additional 3-5 metres below mean sea level. Unless action is taken, there...
Subsidence causes major problems in urbanized areas, like Kockengen. That’s why the municipality wants to start a large project called ‘Kockengen Waterproof...
This project enhances knowledge on financial, institutional, environmental, technical, and social factors that influence the potential of Managed Aquifer...
The aim is to test the potential of paleoenvironmental records to help setting targets for water quality standards and nutrient management in delta-...
This proposal focusses on flood risk management related to planning and land use and discusses alternative approaches to store abundant water from river...
The objectives of this pilot project is to build a database of earth observation images available (satellite imagery/aerial photos), to co-register the...
We will produce a position paper that combines knowledge and experience across a range of different disciplines to analyze the impacts of global change and...
This research project aims to analyze and assess the land and groundwater governance arrangements related to land subsidence in the Yangtze Delta in general...
Our overall objective is to establish a science-based fundamental research agenda for long-term, sustainable management of the Rhine-Meuse delta.
POWER is a user-driven project to share knowledge and experience of water related issues in different EU local authorities to create a tool for EU water...

The aim of this seed money project is to develop a prototype for a flexible simulation gaming platform.
Water-Food-Biodiversity nexus in global changing deltas.
Our aim is to develop a bio-physical model for coastal dune evolution with which we will contribute solving present and future challenges in coastal-dune...
This project focuses on developing tools for quick construction of fresh-salt groundwater flow and coupled salt transport models and scenario development of...
In this project we develop new operational tools to be used for operational management of regional fresh water resources in low-lying deltaic areas with...
This project aims to map the regional distribution and volume of fresh and saline water in coastal areas, which is essential for sustainable (ground)water...
We will use models of surface water hydrology and variable-density groundwater flow to estimate the current fresh groundwater reserves in 40 deltas.
We developed tools to understand and predict the effects of the Sand Motor and similar mega-nourishment operations on fresh groundwater availability and...
GO-FRESH aims to improve the use of existing fresh groundwater resources and create new freshwater reserves.
We aim to study how nourishment strategies affect the physical and ecological drivers of embryonic dune development along sandy coasts.
The aim of this project is to prototype an interactive decision support tool that provides a planning environment.
We will explore whether we can combine climate driven RRSLC with directly human driven RRSLC from subsidence.
Mangrove ecosystem functioning and degradation in a delta under pressure
The goal is to recommend policy at national and EU levels.
We will use phytoplankton data to assess how human impact and climate variability drive successive changes in the Dutch coastal plain.
