Deltares

Overview

Deltares is an independent Dutch research institute and consultancy specializing in applied research related to water, subsurface, soil, and infrastructure management. Established in 2008 through a merger of several organizations, the institute focuses on deltas, coastal regions, and river basins, aiming to enable safe and sustainable living in these vulnerable areas. Headquartered in Delft and Utrecht, Deltares employs staff from more than 42 nationalities and generates substantial annual turnover.

The institute offers research, consulting, and advisory services in liveable deltas, flood protection, healthy water systems, sustainable energy, and resilient infrastructure. Known for its expertise in water management, hydraulic engineering, subsurface and geotechnics, Deltares develops software, models, and tools—many available as open-source—to support innovative solutions for complex societal challenges like climate change and urbanization. Collaboration with government ministries, universities, and NGOs is central to its mission.
