Delft Urban Water

Water is crucial for the development of every city. All over the world, cities are confronted with increased and uncontrolled urbanisation, higher risks of flooding, scarcity of water for industry, households and ecosystems, rising pollution, ground subsidence, climate change and energy shortages. In addition, ever higher demands are being placed on our living environment, and citizens are becoming more outspoken in standing up for their rights. At the same time, we have more and more technologies at our disposal for measurement, processing information and purifying water for multiple use. New insights and developments are also making a contribution to reducing the widespread deprivation in the fields of water, sanitation and flooding in developing countries.
