Infiltrating pavements are potentially effective climate adaptation measures to counteract arising challenges related to flooding and drought in urban areas. However, they are susceptible to clogging causing premature degradation. As part of the Dutch Delta Plan, Dutch municipalities were encouraged …

De weg biedt kansen om ondergrondse waterberging in (Druk) stedelijk gebied te realiseren als oplossing voor wateroverlast en droogte. Onderzoek in Zwolle blijkt na 25 jaar nog steeds te voldoen aan de oorspronkelijke opzet: water bergen en infiltreren binnen een dag.

Climate change and changing land use challenge the livability and flood safety of Dutch cities. One option cities have to become more climate-proof is to increase infiltration of stormwater into soil through permeable pavement and thus reduce discharge of stormwater into sewer systems. To analyze the …

Over the past decades, various types of permeable pavements have been implemented in different municipalities in the Netherlands in order to improve infiltration capacity in urban areas and therewith being able to better treat stormwater runoff. With initial promising results, this adaptation measure …

How can the stewards of our planet be rewarded and become an existential part of a brand-experience? Is our “Consumer mindset” actually able to always take our planet Earth’s viability in consideration while we’re consuming or buying products? Erwin van Woudenberg is a professor at HAS University of …

European Union’s vulnerability to climate change stretches far beyond its borders because many of its economic sectors, such as meat and dairy, use raw materials sourced from far afield. Cross-border climate vulnerability is a relatively new subject in scientific literature, while of high societal and …
