"De Grensmaas moet vervolg krijgen" kopte Lan+Water op 23 juni. Riviermanagement is immers nooit klaar, ook niet in de Grensmaas. Afwegingen rondom waterveiligheid, waterhoeveelheid, waterkwaliteit en biodiversiteit blijven discussies teweeg brengen rondom integraal rivier management. Klimaat-cafés bieden …

Floating urbanization is a promising solution to reduce the vulnerability of cities against climate change, population growth or land scarcity. Although this type of construction introduces changes to aquatic systems, there is a lack of research studies addressing potential impacts. Water quality data …

Large floating projects have the potential to overcome the challenge of land scarcity in urban areas and offer opportunities for energy and food production, or even for creating sustainable living environments. However, they influence the physical, chemical, biological and ecological characteristics …

The rapid implementation of large scale floating solar panels has consequences to water quality and local ecosystems. Environmental impacts depend on the dimensions, design and proportions of the system in relation to the size of the surface water, as well as the characteristics of the water system (currents, …

Drijvende zonneparken komen steeds vaker voor. Het grootste van Europa bevindt zich in Zwolle. Hier is onderzoek gedaan naar het effect van de drijvend panelen op de waterkwaliteit en het leven in het water. De eerste resultaten tekenen zich af: op deze locatie en installatie vrijwel geen effecten op …

There is a clear demand for a collaborative knowledge-sharing on climate adaptation and mitigation. The aim of most climate adaptation platforms is (inter)national knowledge exchange and raising awareness about climate adaptation in urban areas and promote solutions such as Nature-based solutions (NBS) …

ClimateCafé is a field education concept involving dierent fields of science and practice for capacity building in climate change adaptation. This concept is applied on the eco-city of Augustenborg in Malmö, Sweden, where Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) were implemented in 1998. ClimateCafé Malmö evaluated …

With climate change and urban development, water systems are changing faster than ever. Currently, the ecological status of water systems is still judged based on single point measurements, without taking into account the spatial and temporal variability of water quality and ecology. There is a need …
