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 …

In solving systemic design challenges designers co-create with professionals from various fields. In the context of innovation in healthcare practices, this study investigates design abilities that healthcare professionals develop by participating in co-design projects. We conducted a mixed-methods research …

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 …

Dit werk beschrijft de fabricage van een op titaniumcarbide nanodeeltjes gebaseerde inkjet-geprinte flexibele bidirectionele stromingssensor. Het ontwerp van de stromingssensor bestaat uit een met inkjet geprinte titaniumcarbide piëzoresistieve spanningsmeter op een polyester cantilever. De sensoren …

Nature-based strategies, such as wave attenuation by tidal marshes, are increasingly proposed as a complement to mitigate the risks of failure of engineered flood defense structures such as levees. However, recent analysis of historic coastal storms revealed smaller dike breach dimensions if there were …

This report described the whole process of designing an EC meter system in a continuous project: MFM EC meter. From the designing until the testing, detailed explanation about every part will be mentioned. From a view of engineering student, the report starting from introduction of the assignment and …

Swales are widely used Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) that can reduce peak flow, collect and retain water and improve groundwater recharge. Most previous research has focused on the unsaturated infiltration rates of swales without considering the variation in infiltration rates under extreme …

Drinking water utilities are responsible for providing safe drinking water. As water directly impacts public health, water utilities follow stringent water treatment standards and processes. However to keep pace with the dynamic environment and tackle challenges such as water stress, water pollution, …

The accessibility of the Rotterdam region and port is important for the economy of not only the region itself but for the Netherlands as a whole. This is because, in addition to the largest port complex in Europe and Greenport Westland, the Rotterdam region also offers space for various business services …
