Delineating density-driven groundwater flow in a fractured rock setting through EC-depth profiling and model simulations
Ec-depth profiles that were taken in wells on semi-arid Caribbean island Curaçao reveal both fractured rock flow and the interaction between fresh meteoric and saline seawater. This thesis aims to characterize the hydrogeological ...

The application of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for improved hydrometeorological conditions in Amsterdam
What does Amsterdam have to deal with? Due to climate change and urbanization, Amsterdam suffers from heat and water stress, because there is often more asphalt than greenery. This creates a 'heat island effect' in the city and ca ...

Water spraying for cooling cities
Water spraying for cooling purposes can be implemented in various ways, such as through the use of sprinkler systems in parks, misting systems in outdoor recreational areas, or even water curtains along building facades. These met ...

The use of short records of rainfall for estimating extremes
Extreme intensities of rainfall within short time periods in the range of hours is a major source of flooding that will probably increase with climate change. However, most long time series of precipitation only provide daily data ...

A Better Exploration of Flood Risks Across Europe in a Changing Climate
A changing climate will bring many challenges to regions throughout Europe. The IPCC identifies flooding as one of Europe’s key risks. It is, therefore, important that regions start to prepare for these changes. However, this is c ...

Classification and comparison of flood events in the Netherlands by means of a hydrograph-based flood typology
Flood events differ according to their generating processes, e.g. heavy rainfall, snowmelt or long-duration rainfall. These processes and their interaction with the catchment state are visible in the corresponding flood hydrograph ...
