A systematic operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation program is an essential element in the management of a wastewater collection system. Effective inspection, cleaning, and rehabilitation are key processes for optimizing the proper functioning of a collection system. 7-1 7.1 Methods and Equipment …

Global climate change will result in more extreme heat, drought, and rainfall. The urban environment is particularly vulnerable to these effects. Adaptation to these extreme weather conditions is difficult due to the high complexity of urban land-use patterns and stakeholder configurations. The current …

Op donderdagochtend 6 april organiseert het KAN platform een digitale themabijeenkomst over detaillering en beheer van waterdoorlatende bestrating.Floris Boogaard (lector Hanzehogeschool Groningen, consultant Deltares) vertelt tijdens de digitale bijeenkomst op 6 april over zijn recente praktijkervaringen …

Greater New Orleans is surrounded by wetlands, the Mississippi River and two lakes. Excess rain can only be drained off with pumping systems or by evaporation due to the bowl-like shape of a large part of the city. As part of the solution to make New Orleans climate adaptive, green infrastructure has …

The upscaling of biphasic photochemical reactions is challenging because of the inherent constraints of liquid-gas mixing and light penetration. Using semi-permeable coaxial flow chemistry within a modular photoreactor, the photooxidation of the platform chemical furfural was scaled up to produce routinely …

When waves interact with surfaces of different structures they are reflected, and these reflections are mainly caused due to less wave energy being dissipated by the surface of the structure. Naturally, rock slopes or permeable structures (mangroves forests, brushwood material, etc.) are used around …

Infiltrating pavements are potentially effective climate adaptation measures to counteract arising challenges related to flooding and drought in urban areas. However, they are susceptible to clogging causing premature degradation. As part of the Dutch Delta Plan, Dutch municipalities were encouraged …

Demonstratie van de waterdoorlatende weg op BuildinG als onderdeel van de New Energy Forum die er op 23 juni werd gehouden.

Climate change and changing land use challenge the livability and flood safety of Dutch cities. One option cities have to become more climate-proof is to increase infiltration of stormwater into soil through permeable pavement and thus reduce discharge of stormwater into sewer systems. To analyze the …
