At an aquaponics farm in Luxembourg called “Fësch Haff” the effect of the water quality on the growth rate and behaviour of the rainbow trout has been analysed. Three times a week the water quality in the fish tank expressed by temperature, KH (carbonate hardness), pH, ammonium/ammonia, nitrite, nitrate …

This presentation is part of the Phd, i try to study the power of river futures. I do this by building relationships with two rivers, de Maas/The Meuse/La Mosa/de Grensmaas in the Netherlands and the Magdalena/Karakali/Karihuana, Arli, Guaca-hayo/Yuma. I do this by establishing explicitly the fact that …

In the field of climate change adaptation, the future matters. River futures influence the way adaptation projects are implemented in rivers. In this paper, we challenge the ways in which dominant paradigms and expert claims monopolise the truth concerning policies and designs of river futures, thereby …

This webinar will explore how past-present-future connections of river imaginaries have influenced and are influencing river management in the context of climate change adaptation. Lotte de Jong will reflect in particular on the Border-Meuse river (The Netherlands) trajectory, where a large-scale infrastructure …

Worldwide, rivers face challenges due to human and climatic pressures. Floods, droughts, pollution, damming and hydropeaking are only a few examples of these pressures and influence the way rivers are managed. We invite river-experts, river-managers and river-researchers for an open discussion to understand …

The emission of greenhouse gasses is a trending subject worldwide. Also the maritime industry is looking for alternative options for zero-emission transport. Nedstack provides fuel cells as a solution for this challenge. This research is a first glance at the possibilities to create a feasible retrofit …

The Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) sector is responsible for a large part of the total worldwide energy consumption, a significant part of which is caused by incorrect operation of controls and maintenance. HVAC systems are becoming increasingly complex, especially due to multi-commodity …

Lectoraat Delta Power wil bijdragen aan de energietransitie door een waterstoflab te bouwen waar onderzoekers, bedrijven en studenten onderzoek kunnen verrichten naar waterstof. Met behulp van een waterstoflab kunnen er onderzoeken plaatsvinden naar het produceren van waterstof en het omzetten van waterstof …

Many contend that end-state planning is no longer either acceptable or feasible. However, outside the formal planning system, communities do conceive radical proposals for the places they live in. Our paper makes a plea for a renewed appreciation of Utopias by revealing the diversity of such imagined …

The research concerns a currently developed project of implementing a tidal power harnessing system in the structure of Brouwersdam. The system would exploit hydraulic head difference between two water bodies and using gravity caused flow, generate electricity. As a side-effect to such system, hydraulic …
