In response to the growing challenges posed by climate change and urbanization, this thesis proposes designing a rain garden as a sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) in Vlissingen, the Netherlands. The primary goal of this project is to create design of a nature-based solution that not only manages …

This study explores the effect of precipitation, evaporation, animal burrowing and the changing climate on the permeability of the clay cover layer on a dike. It also showcases the possibility of utilizing finite difference flow models, such as MODFLOW, for the simulation of various environmental impacts …

Noord-Brabant is van oudsher een natte provincie, waarin dorpen verbonden werden via beken die omsloten werden door vochtige bossen, zoals broekbossen. Broekbossen zijn natte, moerasachtige systemen die een belangrijke rol kunnen spelen in het tegengaan van verdroging en wateroverlast door hun watervasthoudend …

Monitoring the technical state of an urban drainage (UD) system is at the core of asset management, the deployment of visual inspection technology (either using direct visual access for inspection of applying photo and/or video cameras) was and has remained the main method of gathering information on …

A systematic operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation program is an essential element in the management of a wastewater collection system. Effective inspection, cleaning, and rehabilitation are key processes for optimizing the proper functioning of a collection system. 7-1 7.1 Methods and Equipment …

Dit rapport richt zich op het beheer en herstel van grasbanen in boomgaarden, met focus op natte voorjaren. Het biedt theoretische en praktische inzichten voor fruittelers en adviseurs. Grasbanen beschermen tegen bodemverdichting, verbeteren waterhuishouding, bevorderen biodiversiteit en zorgen voor …

andlt;pandgt;Het 17e -eeuwse scheepswrak OT23 betreft een waterschip dat is ontdekt tijdens drainage werkzaamheden in Oostelijk Flevoland en opgegraven in 1968. Ondanks de opgravingsdocumentatie die beschikbaar is van de ontdekte waterschepen in Nederland, is weinig kennis over de kookcultuur en leefomstandigheden …

Sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) or nature-based solutions (NBSs) are widely implemented to collect, store and infiltrate stormwater. The buildup of pollutants is expected in NBSs, and Dutch guidelines advise monitoring the topsoil of bio-swales every 5 years. In the Netherlands, almost every …

Worldwide, including Indonesia and the EU, current (agricultural) use in peatlands is based on massive water drainage. Because drainage leads to environmental problems, many scholars, policy makers and (agricultural) entrepreneurs are rethinking peatland use, aiming for more sustainable peatland management, …

Communities worldwide are critically re-examining their seasonal cultures and calendars. As cultural frameworks, seasons have long patterned community life and provided repertoires for living by annual rhythms. In a chaotic world, the seasons - winter, the monsoon and so on - can feel like stable cultural …
