The Regional and Urban Water Management Group specializes in research and consultancy services for water management on relatively small scale areas, mainly in the Netherlands.
Traditionally, problems on urban, polder and regional scales were approached separately. Consequently, solutions were sought explicitly within the borders of the water system without paying attention to effects beyond these borders. Since its formation, the Regional and Urban Water Management Group has been following a different approach. By applying an integral, "across the border" look at urban and rural (both on polder and on regional scales) problems, solutions are offered that are acceptable to the wide range of water users involved. When appropriate, policy or management questions can be part of our analyses. Our studies offer practical, tailor-made solutions in which ample consideration is given to (long term) sustainable water management. In most of our projects, Deltares's mathematical models play an important role.
Objective, independent, state-of-the-art knowledge and a client-oriented approach are the key words in the services offered by Deltares.
