Fill your bottle with free clean drinking water - A thirst quencher in Delft
In Delft, we are extremely proud of our refreshing free drinking water. No visitor to Delft has to walk around without water.... and that is very handy, because there is a lot to do and see in the city. So don't forget to take the occasional sip of water.
In Delft city centre, there are several drinking water points where you can refill your reusable water bottle for free at any time.

Our partners
Various organisations helped to realise the signs at the water taps. Together they are committed to raising awareness about water, sustainable use and the importance of clean drinking water, so that everyone in Delft can refill their drinking water easily and responsibly.
IHE Delft Institute for Water Education
IHE Delft Institute for Water Education is an international institute dedicated to water education and research. Since its foundation in 1957, IHE Delft has trained more than 25,000 water professionals from over 190 countries. With this knowledge and expertise, the institute contributes to a world where water is better managed.
An important part of IHE Delft is the theme of clean drinking water. Clean water is essential for good health and plays an important role in personal hygiene and food preparation. Yet more than 2 billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. Many people rely on contaminated water on a daily basis, which increases the risk of disease and hinders social and economic development.
Through education and research, IHE Delft works on solutions to these challenges and contributes to better water management worldwide.
Delft4globalgoals
Delft4GlobalGoals is a local network committed to the United Nations' seventeen Sustainable Development Goals. These goals form a global agenda to make the world (and also Delft) more sustainable, fair and inclusive by 2030.
The initiative originated in 2020 from a collaboration between several Delft organisations, including Stichting Fairtrade Gemeente Delft, Stichting Stedenband Delft-Estelí, Buurttuin Voorhof and Milieudefensie Delft. Since then, Delft4GlobalGoals has been connecting organisations, businesses and residents who want to actively contribute to a better city and world.
The organisation focuses on raising awareness of the Global Goals and supporting initiatives in Delft that contribute to them. They do this by stimulating cooperation, organising projects and activities and offering a network in which knowledge and ideas are shared.
With initiatives such as the Delft Water Week, the Cycle Festival and the annual SDG flag weeks, Delft4GlobalGoals makes sustainability visible and accessible to a wide audience. In the coming years, too, the organisation will remain committed to working with partners towards a sustainable future towards 2030.

There is also a focus on topics such as the importance of clean drinking water and water projects worldwide. The week ends with the Delft Water Market, where visitors can find out about various water initiatives in an accessible way.
