Abstract This study evaluated the effects of vegetation and internal water storage (IWS) on evapotranspiration (ET), hydrologic performance, and water quality in bioretention mesocosms. Twelve mesocosms were configured as planted/free-drainage (PF), planted/IWS (PI), unplanted/free-drainage (UF), and …

Due to growing power consumption and the energy transition, installation of high-voltage underground cables (HVUC) is becoming increasingly crucial for increasing transmission capacity while minimising societal and environmental disruption. This thesis, completed in a professional setting at Witteveen+Bos, …

Bij het ontwerpen van funderingen met de software Technosoft, kan een sondering worden geïnterpreteerd tot een bodemprofiel met verschillende grondsoorten. In Technosoft zijn 6 verschillende sonderingsinterpretatiemethoden beschikbaar. Voor de keuze van deze interpretatiemethode zijn echter geen richtlijnen, …

This graduation report is a comparison of settlement mitigation techniques for embankments built on soft ground in the Netherlands. The research is focused on the soft deltaic soil conditions in the Netherlands, where clay, peat, and organic clay layers can cause high settlements, slow consolidation, …

The success of the energy transition will depend not only on the rapid deployment of zeroemission technologies, but also on the expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen. Equally important is meaningful engagement with the communities affected by this transition. Despite …

Abstract Agricultural chemicals pose increasing risks to soil, water and living organisms. Remote sensing (RS) offers potential to monitor vegetation responses to chemical treatments, yet most existing studies rely on limited samples, optical data only, or controlled experiments. This study explores …

From the late 1930s to today, the technological lure of hydroponics has inspired many geopolitical imaginations of planetary transformation. Hydroponics, or soilless farming, refers to a bundle of technologies to raise crops outside of arable land, using nutrient solutions in water, sand or gravel media. …

Pilot onderzoek naar historische hoogtemodellen

Throughout this thesis, a competitive durable reinforcement design for the Mastenbroek-IJssel reinforcement project is developed and modeled. In 2024 the Drents Overijsselse Delta Water Board began with the exploration phase of the Mastenbroek-IJssel reinforcement project as 10.8 km of the IJssel dike …
