Samenvatting

This Bachelor research thesis is to understand the water dynamics in the dry periods and wet periods to reduce negative consequences, resulting from the extreme weather conditions. When extreme rainfall occurs on soil with a low water retention capacity in the upstream area, flood might occur in the downstream area of a catchment. So the Waterboard is trying to make the soils hold water as long as possible to prevent drought in the upstream, meanwhile the flooding problem in the downstream can be solved to some extent. The object of this study is also to indicate the hydrological effects of adaptation measures in order to strengthen understanding.
