Academic Departments
Our six academic departments represent IHE Delft’s main themes, which reflect today’s global water challenges: safe drinking water & sanitation, water-related hazards & climate change, ecosystems quality, water, food & energy security, water management & governance, information & knowledge systems. Through our work we recognise the value of an interdisciplinary approach and our primary position to contribute substantially to future global water capacity - particulary within the framework of the United Nations' 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
