Students have been contributing to our salinisation projects for a long time now. Many different types of projects are possible, ranging from detailed numerical modelling to larger scale system analyses. Please find a list of currently available topics and past internships below.

For inquiries about salinisation projects or internships, please reach out by sending a message to salinisation@deltares.nl.



Available internship topics 

INTEGRAL (info) Contact: salinisation@deltares.nl

  • Creating a map of salinisation world wide 
  • Mapping the impact of salinisation on health, ecology, and economy

GROUNDWATER (info) Contact: salinisation@deltares.nl or gualbert.oudeessink@deltares.nl

  • The impact of salinisation in ground- and surface water on: a. health and b. agriculture and food production. One component is improving a global salinisation map with local models and data (e.g. Mekong delta)
  • Simulating the effect of different scenarios on climate change/sea-level rise and anthropogenic stresses on fresh groundwater in the Mekong delta, using the existing 3D model 
  • On the water - food nexus in the Nile delta: communicating, understanding and monitoring groundwater availability, collaboration with the universities Kafr El Sheikh and Sadat City; also a visit to Egypt is planned. 
  • Comparison of 2D and 3D groundwater flow and salinity model estimations in deltaic regions 
  • Assessing the economic and technic feasibility of offshore groundwater pumping 
  • Assessing the effect of model parameters (e.g. solute solvers, grid convergence) on variable-density groundwater and salt transport benchmark cases using iMOD-SEAWAT and/or MODFLOW6 
  • Fresh groundwater resources management at a farmers level in the province of Zeeland, The Netherlands: setting up robust web-based clipping tools; a modelling study 
  • Assessing submarine groundwater discharge along coastal stretches: a global analysis 
  • Setting up a 3D variable-density groundwater flow model simulating salt water intrusion in a deltaic area: possible cases: the Bengal, Indus, Po, Yangtze, Pearl river deltas 
  • Modelling the future water system of Terschelling: using the existing 3D groundwatermodel to run scenario's of measures and strategies until 2050 and 2100 for the island of Terschelling
  • Detailed monitoring and modelling of drainage systems in low lying polders in the Netherlands (part of Project Zoetwaterboeren)
