Although permeable pavements have been used all over the world in recent years to infiltrate and treat stormwater, only limited research has been undertaken to investigate and compare the long-term performance of these sustainable urban drainage system devices. This paper presents the results of an extensive …

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 …

Stormwaters, flowing into storm sewers, are known to significantly increase the annual pollutant loads entering urban receiving waters and this results in significant degradation of the receiving water quality. Knowledge of the characteristics of stormwater pollution enables urban planners to incorporate …

Permeable pavements are specifically designed to promote the infiltration of stormwater through the paving surface in order to reduce run-off volumes and to improve water quality by removing sediment and other pollutants. However, research has shown that permeable pavements can become clogged over time …

Climate change is expected to have a large impact on coastal cities all around the world. Due to the expected sea level rise for coastal regions new flood defense policies are developed, with emphasis on risk assessment and a multifunctional approach to strengthening existing coastal defenses. Most climate …

This study describes field investigations designed to compare the infiltration capacities of 55 permeable pavement systems installed in the Netherlands and in Australia. The ages of the pavements varied from 1 to 12 years. Using infiltrometer testing, the performance of the pavements has been compared …

De opdracht was om een “Watervisie op te stellen voor de gebiedsontwikkeling van Beilen-Oost”. Hiervoor zijn is een historische literatuurstudie uitgevoerd, waarna een praktijkonderzoek en een watersysteemanalyse volgden. Waterschap Reest en Wieden analyseert en toetst het functioneren van het watersysteem. …

In Wamel is al langere tijd sprake van wateroverlast in het park met de naam “Grote Gemeente’ en de paden zijn slecht. Wamel ligt op een oude stroomrug of oeverwal. Er zijn verschillende zandbanen aanwezig met daarop een deklaag van klei. Het park ligt op de overgang van een stroomrug naar een oeverwal. …
