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.

Door klimaatveranderingen zal de hoeveelheid water dat door de Waal stroomt, toenemen. De huidige afvoer bij Lobith is 16.000 m3/sec, er zijn dus aanpassingen nodig. Hierbij wordt gekozen tussen rivierverruiming, dijkverzwaringen of een combinatie van beiden voor in de voorkeurstrategie Waal. Eén van …

Door het veranderende klimaat en de verwachtingen hierover bestaat de kans dat sommige soorten uit Nederland verdwijnen. De hoofdvraag van dit onderzoek is: Wat zijn de effecten van de klimaatveranderingen op gebiedsniveau en zijn de huidige herstelmaatregelen nog relevant in combinatie met de te verwachten …

This thesis investigates the vulnerability of the crop production towards extreme weather events in the Drentsche Aa Catchment Area in the future years (From 2085 to 2115) and attempts to find the best solution for dealing with the vulnerability. The main method that has been used is literature study …
