Deltares (formerly WL | Delft Hydraulics)

Institute Description:
In 2008, Delft Hydraulics has joined forces with other Dutch research institutes in Deltares, a new independent institute for delta technology. Deltares combines knowledge and experience in the field of water, soil and the subsurface. We provide innovative solutions to make living in deltas, coastal areas and river basins safe, clean and sustainable.

Deltares is a unique combination of 400 years of knowledge and experience in the area of water and the subsurface. The institutes behind Deltares have been involved in projects throughout the world in recent years, resulting in a range of enduring partnerships.

The Deltares core domains are : - Construction and soft soils - Water safety and design - Water management and use - Healthy water systems - Hydraulic engineering - Subsurface, water and space - Healthy soil systems and materials - Measurements, models, predictions, information - Product innovation - Experimental observatories and test sites - Strengthening the knowledge base - Physical laboratory facilities (experimental analyses) - Software facilities
