Natural disasters are a growing concern around the globe. In the Netherlands, water has always played an important role as both friend and enemy. To quickly analyze and visualise possible disaster outcomes has been really difficult. In collaboration with engineering company Tauw we improved this modelling …

Dealing with the issue of urban storm water flooding is becoming increasingly urgent. In the Netherlands there are no clear guidelines on the level of acceptance of urban flooding. Based on an accurate DEM, a detailed quick scan tool has been used to assess an extreme storm event in Amsterdam. The resulting …

In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the number of bioretention systems installed worldwide. However, there has only been limited research on the long-term effectiveness of these sustainable urban drainage system devices. This paper presents the results of a series of controlled field …

Groene waarden kunnen gemeenten helpen hun duurzaamheid structureel te verbeteren. Duurzaamheid gaat verder dan het ontwerp, met name ook het gebruik en beheer van het groen in de openbare buitenruimte zijn wezenlijk voor een duurzame omgeving. Asset management kan een goede beheertool zijn, omdat deze …

Sedimentation devices have been widely implemented to remove suspended solids and attached pollutants from stormwater before entering surface waters. The treatment performance of these best management practices (BMPs) on fine particles is rarely investigated in a standardized way. To overcome this information …

This CIENS-report sums up the main findings from the project “Cultural heritage and water management in urban planning” (Urban WATCH), financed by the Research Council of Norway through the MILJØ2015 programme, and cofunded by the Directorate for Cultural Heritage in Norway (Riksantikvaren) and the Geological …

A baseline study was performed to characterize the stormwater quality from the upstream roofs and road areas. Results showed variations in stormwater quality. This may inhibit single-step treatment performance. Therefore, a ‘treatment train’ of several SUDS measures was developed in order to achieve …

Het onderzoek richt zich op de vraag hoe IWRM (integrated water resource management) kan bijdragen aan het behalen van de doelstellingen in het WASH programma van Woord en Daad.
