Climate Resilience
Climate related changes in rainfall, temperature and sea levels will have an impact on communities, companies and industries worldwide. At NUSDeltares, we are actively working to develop the crucial knowledge needed to address the effects of climate change.
Sustainable and Healthy Cities
High density coastal areas are particularly vulnerable. Rapid urbanization has increased both the economic and societal value of these areas. Drought, flooding, heat and enviromental degradation can have a major impact on the economy.
Integrated Water Management
Water in urban areas is often sourced from man-made reservoirs or intensive managed water bodies. Besides providing potable water, reservoirs, lakes, canals and rivers provide several other functions, such as recreation opportunities and water storage for flood control. Different functions have different, often conflicting, requirements regarding water quality and quantity.
Subsurface planning and resource management
As cities become more crowded, countries lean towards reclaiming new lands and building increasingly below the surface. We provide underground planning and asset management to reduce local disruptions and provide reliability during development. We also combine information on the availability of resources with innovative techniques, to create more efficient and responsible practices.

Succesful edition of the Deltares Software Days South-East Asia has come to an end
We can look back on 3 days of very successful and well attended edition of the Deltares Software Days. We were very fortunate that so many experts and enthusiasts came from all over South-East Asia to exchange ideas, knowledge and experiences! Our great thanks go to the speakers and partners National University of Singapore (NUS) and TCOMS who made this possible. You can find our pictures on the Deltares Software Days South-East Asia (DSD-SEA) 2023 website. The presentations from the Seminar have also been published on SlideShare and can be found via our website.
Projects Multidisciplinary approaches
A national water quality monitoring and prediction service for Singapore
NUSDeltares developed, implemented and validated a national water quality monitoring and prediction service to help the National Environment Agency Singapore manage Singapore’s coastal waters.
In-stream wetlands
The use of eco-engineered in-stream wetlands systems as part of the ABW-waters in Singapore achieves the water quality goals by optimizing the natural capabilities of plants to improve the quality of stormwater collected from the urban landscape.
SeCURE Singapore Centre on Urban Resilience
The Centre will facilitate and stimulate cross-disciplinary cooperation across the SE Asian region, and will provide the data-rich environment to enable this. The SeCURE initiative has been presented and discussed already with a large number of potential partners and sponsors, and is rapidly gaining more support.
