Both climate change and human activity are the important drivers that can change hydrological cycle routs and affect the features of hydrological drought in river basins. The current study selects the Zayandeh Rud river Basin as a case study region in which to evaluate the influences of climate alteration …

Due to lack of proper stormwater drainage in the Waymouth Hills, stormwater runoff have often caused undermining of the road infrastructure and disrupting traffic flow in the study area. Sediments are often deposited to the low-lying terrain from the runoff and this reduces the storm drains capacity …

One of the goals for the JPI Water funded project INovations for eXtreme Climatic Events (INXCES) is to provide risk assessment tools for urban hydro-climatic events. Combining disciplines increases the capacity to manage and improve the mitigation of the infrastructure for stormwater in urban areas. …

Urbanisation and climate change have an effect on the water balance in our cities resulting in challenges as flooding, droughts and heatstress. Implementation of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) can help to restore the water balance in cities by storing and infiltrating stormwater into the subsurface …

Urban flood prevention is an intensifying prerequisite of urban inhabitation due to a multiplicity of threats to population health and property. One of the components of urbanisation that can fail to fulfil its function and cause urban flooding is gully pot clogging. Frequently this is the result of …

We, humans have our roots in pre-Anthropocene eras where we gathered skills for survival and establishing our culture. The cumulated tacit knowledge, the skills, ideas and experiences that can only be shared by personal contact and mutual trust, is evolved and cumulated during this pre-Anthropocene era. …

Om te voldoen aan de nieuwe NBW toetsingsnormen hebben de waterschappen De Dommel, Aa en Maas en Brabantse Delta samen met Rijkswaterstaat opdracht gegeven aan Witteveen+Bos om een gedetailleerd hydraulisch model van optredende waterstanden te voorspellen in stroomgebied Mark-Vliet en een bijbehorende …

Het hoogwater van 1993 en 1995 zorgde voor een hoop onrust in het Nederlandse rivierengebied. De overheid wilde dergelijke situatie voorkomen en maakte in 2003 en 2013 inundatieplannen voor de grensoverschrijdende dijkring 42, om het hoogwaterveiligheidsprobleem op te lossen. De inwoners waren het niet …

De klimaat robuuste oplossingen die het meest geschikt zijn om de wateroverlast in Nijmegen-Oost te voorkomen zijn: kolken met slibvang en waterberging onder de weg, infiltratiebassins, diepinfiltratie, het afdammen en verdelen van waterstromen en het toepassen van zaksloten en zakputten.
