Dit Onderzoeksrapport is het eindstuk van de opleiding Civiele Techniek aan de HZ University of Applied sciences. Het onderzoek focust zich op een haventerrein aan de Autrichehaven in Westdorpe. Het ophogen van het haventerrein en het creëren van een aanmeervoorziening zijn de twee grote doelen van dit …

Rapid changes in the urban environment due to growth puts the urban water cycle out of balance, hence, affecting other surface and subsurface processes, such as subsidence and surface water management. Subsidence of the ground is causing risk and hazard, as well as unexpected costs. This newly, November …

Stormwater runoff has severe negative and direct impact on the quality of surface waters and groundwater. The impact can cause chemical and heavy-metal pollution. Applying well established methods to map pollutants in urban areas and specifically in Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), such as Sustainable Urban …

The challenge of sustainable development requires cities to aim for drastic improvements in the systems that support its vital functions. Innovating these systems can be extremely hard, and might take lots of time. A transparent and democratic strategy is important to guarantee support for change. Such …

Klimaatadaptatie staat in Nederland hoog op de agenda en vraagt om een andere inrichting van de openbare ruimte. Grote regenbuien passen niet in rioolbuizen dus wordt verharding vervangen door groen. Groenvoorzieningen krijgen functies als waterberging en infiltreren regenwater in de bodem, zoals bij …

Past decades traditional agricultural landscapes characterized by a wide variety of grasslands, field boundaries, watercourses, and trees started to disappear. Population growth required an ever-increasing demand for food and traditional agricultural systems were converted to monocultures. With this …

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. …
