    Dike erosion landside slope : Progress report 2023 Sito-PS KvK DE1

    In order to obtain a relation for the erosion of the landside slope by wave overtopping, a model developed by ISL has been validated and calibrated for data obtained at wave overtopping tests at the Hedwigepolder (2023) and at Delfzijl (2007), all on bare clay. Results are compared with results from small-scale erosion tests on samples taken at…

    Morphological model for the River Meuse : Sambeek-Grave v0.8

    Recent events, such as the flood in July 2021 in the Meuse River in which large changes in bed level posed problems to infrastructure, have shown that up-to-date morphodynamic models are essential to aid in evaluation of measures and policy choices. The Meuse River at present does not have a validated numerical model for morphodynamics. To…

    Water system description : A58 low-tech campus area

    The aim of this report is to provide a water system description that can serve as a baseline description to be used for further development of holistic water management opportunities. This description of the water system provides the basis for use specifically in the approved INTERREG Rural Roadwater Rescue (RRR) Project (INTERREG).

    Alameda Creek Restoration: Effect on Local Groundwater Supply

    The intention is to deepen a small portion of the Alameda Creek bed, which spans over 60 meters, with the aim of easing sediment transport and reducing the frequency of dredging. This will result in a local decline in groundwater levels, potentially influencing the interconnected system of groundwater infiltration linked to neighboring lakes and…

    Can Precipitation-Related Incidents on the French Railway Network be Predicted in Advance? : Internship Project Report

    To improve flood mitigation, the French Railways (SNCF-Réseau) would like to use short-term forecasts to predict when a precipitation-induced incident would occur on the railway network. This study explored whether precipitation-induced incidents on the SNCF network between 2018-2022 can be predicted in advance. Precipitation accumulations from a…

    Creating the Dutch One Health Shared Socio‑economic Pathways (SSPs)

    The world is changing, in terms of both climate and socio-economics. These changes have the potential to have a profound impact on the health of humans, animals and the environment, often grouped together as ‘One Health’. Humans, animals and the environment are closely interlinked and to determine realistic future vulnerabilities we must consider…

    Shallow‑subsidence vulnerability in the city of New Orleans, southern USA

    Land subsidence in the city of New Orleans (USA) and its surroundings increases flood risk, and may cause damage to buildings and infrastructure and loss of protective coastal wetlands. To make New Orleans more resilient to future flooding, a new approach for groundwater and subsidence management is needed. As a first step in developing such an…

    Morphological model for the river Rhine : First (v0) model of the Waal branch

    This report describes the set-up of a pilot version (v0) of a 2D morphological model of the Waal river. The model will be developed further and calibrated in the coming years.

    Implications of the KNMI’23 climate scenarios for the discharge of the Rhine and Meuse

    This report summarizes the main implications of the latest generation of climate change scenarios on the discharge of the rivers Rhine and Meuse. The main focus of the report is: • The analysis and presentation of the effects of climate change on the river discharges of the Rhine and Meuse derived from the recently released KNMI’23 climate…

    Groundwater module SOBEK : A groundwater module for the hydraulic model of the Rhine between Andernach and Lobith in GRADE

    A groundwater module SOBEK has been developed as module for the SOBEK 3 model of the Rhine to represent the water exchange between river and aquifer. Several model runs have been carried out and the simulation results were analysed to assess the usage of the groundwater module SOBEK with respect to three aspects: 1) Added value of modelling…

    Evaluation of discharge extremes in the Meuse river and her tributaries

    In July 2021, extreme discharges caused extensive flooding in many tributaries of the Meuse, driven by an intense precipitation event. At these locations, this event was the highest observed on records and much higher than previous extremes observed. This event also happened in summer, which makes the event even more rare. Frequency analysis…

    Beaver behaviour during high water regarding burrows in levees

    The beaver population has grown exponentially since its reintroduction in the Netherlands. The beaver digs their burrows in soil structures, including levees. This weakens the levees and causes them to lose their strength, endangering the safety of the levee. The beaver digs into the levee, especially when the water in the river rises rapidly.…
