09-06-2011 - Wind, waves and currents shape our coasts. Climate change and rising sea levels add further to this pressure. To enable us to live safely along our shores, we need effective coastal and marine management. Moreover, these coastal processes do not present the only threat. We must also protect ourselves against excess river water, while on the other hand we need that water for transport, irrigation, energy, cooling, recreation, environmental protection and as a source of drinking water. Consequently, design and management procedures become more complex and require an integrated approach. Usually, a range of conflicting aspects needs to be evaluated and it is crucial that the compound impact may be surveyed from any desired viewpoint also in terms of time and space.

01-07-2011 - Throughout the world, there is a growing need for integral water solutions. We need protection from excess water in order to live safely in delta areas and river basins. Our water systems also need to be clean and sustainable. To support water authorities, consultancy firms, research institutes and universities worldwide, Deltares offers an integrated modelling suite called SOBEK for the integral simulation.

29-11-2011 - BREAKWAT is useful for everyone who, even if occasional, is involved in the conceptual design of coastal structures, for example by teaching (universities), designing (consultants), testing (research institutes) or constructing (contractors). BREAKWAT is an ideal tool for those who wish to apply the results of the latest research and development and wish to do this quickly and efficiently.

05-03-2012 - Globalisation is driving a vast increase in international trade. Consequently, the industrial and commercial centres of the world become more interconnected with each other. This puts an enormous pressure on harbours, which play an essential role in the transport of goods. Harbours therefore increase their throughput capacity to cope with the demand. Besides these developments, local harbours also expand to provide space for an increasing fleet of leisure ships.

06-12-2011 - An increasing number of people live and work in coastal areas. The natural environment makes it an attractive place to settle. The coastal areas are also essential for the worlds industries, as they largely depend on the sea transport routes. This results in an expansion of urban and industrial developments along the coast. Consequently, questions
