Een gezonde bodem in de praktijk: luisteren naar wormen, infiltratietest en andere indicatoren

Globally, 70% of Average Annual Losses (AAL) are attributed to climatic hazards - rising temperature extremes, increased flooding, and water scarcity and security - marking a significant impact on urban areas. Notably, flooding has been the most prominent disaster, accounting for 44% of total reported …

Undertaken in 2025, the Global Infrastructure Resilience Survey (GIRS) represents the largest global stocktake of infrastructure resilience to date, capturing the perspectives of over 3,000 professionals across more than 100 countries. The survey provides an unprecedented, practice-based view of the …

Permeable pavements are implemented at more than thousand locations enabling rainfall infiltration and evapotranspiration of stormwater in The Netherlands. However, the efficiency has not been extensively tested. Therefore, research is conducted using a full-scale infiltration test (FSIT) method to measure …
