    Scoping for NbS to improve water security and navigation in the Upper Paraguay River Basin and the Pantanal region

    WWF - the Netherlands would like to scope for NbS in Latin America, starting with the largest tropical wetland of the world, the Pantanal. The Pantanal, an important area of the Upper Paraguay River Basin, have suffered prolonged droughts and overexploitation over the last decades. The Pantanal has lost 74% of its surface water in the last 30…

    Health effects of the 2021 flooding in Limburg

    Heavy rainfall caused flooding of the Meuse River in Limburg, the Netherlands, July 2021. This paper presents a descriptive overview of short-term and intermediate phase health impacts that occurred within a month after the floods, focused on (perceived) general health complaints and COVID-19 incidence. Data were collected through a questionnaire…

    Environmental, social, and WASH factors affecting the recurrence of cholera outbreaks in displacement camps in Northeast Nigeria : a rapid appraisal

    In 2021, Nigeria witnessed a severe cholera outbreak that affected Borno state, in which more than 1,600,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) resided at the time. This rapid appraisal explored factors that facilitate the recurrence of cholera outbreaks in sites hosting IDPs in Northeast Nigeria. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with…

    Robust hinterland connections in times of drought and heat : subproject 2 of NWO-project “Extreme droughts and the Dutch water sector: impacts and adaptation”

    The increased occurrence of extreme drought impacts the inland waterways in the Netherlands and beyond, leading to reduced river navigability and thereby resulting in high additional costs for the inland waterways logistics sector. In this report we explore knowledge gaps and adaptation options for the sector, to ensure more robust hinterland…

    Sea2City Design Challenge. North Creek Collective : design, planning and costing brief

    The Sea2City project in Vancouver took place over the course of a year, and included multiple workshops, community events and associated deliverables. The process was collaborative, iterative, and cumulative, and focused on exploring visions and possibilities for our beloved urban waterfront, eminently vulnerable to sea level rise and coastal…

    Strategic Water System Planning : A Framework for Achieving Sustainable, Resilient and Adaptive Management

    This document outlines the framework which Deltares uses to guide their planning and analyses of water systems. It is based on knowledge gained from many years of experience that Deltares and collaborating partners have had in carrying out strategic planning studies. ‘Water system’ is a broad term which can be applied to many different types of…

    Literature study on PFAS precursors in sediments and surface water

    This literature review is a preliminary study that will be followed by experimental work regarding precursors present in (Dutch) sediments. First the occurrence of PFAS precursors in the Dutch surface water, sediments, SPM, and wastewater was summarized. Based on this information, scientific literature was reviewed on unknown PFAS in SPM and…

    Modelling of the Bovenrijn nourishment : comparison of two different transport layer approaches

    After centuries of river training in the Dutch Rhine, the river has developed to a waterway which conveys water downstream very efficiently. Moreover, the corridor Waal-Bovenrijn-Niederrhein has developed into a main shipping route between the port of Rotterdam to the German hinterland. Decades of monosectoral projects (e.g., focussing on flood…

    DCSM-FM 100m: a sixth-generation model for the NW European Shelf : 2022 release

    Upon request of Rijkswaterstaat (RWS), Deltares has developed a sixth-generation hydrodynamic model of the Northwest European Shelf: the Dutch Continental Shelf Model – Flexible Mesh (DCSM-FM). This model is the latest in a line of DCSM models developed by RWS and Deltares and a successor to the fifth-generation WAQUA model DCSMv6. Specifically,…

    Rapid assessment study on the Geul river basin : screening of flood reduction measures

    This document provides a summary of the rapid assessment study on the Geul river basin. In this study, an international team of researchers assessed the hydrological response of the basin to heavy rainfall during the summer 2021 event, the associated floodings and their consequences in order to find measures that are potentially suitable for the…

    KPP-VOW Parameters flow velocities on dike slopes : analysis of influence factors on wave run-up and overtopping flow velocities

    Run-up flow velocities and overtopping flow velocities are influenced by the geometry and the roughness of the dike. A literature study on the influence factors for the flow velocities on the outer slope, the crest and the inner slope is performed to determine whether the influence factors can be included in a stochastic manner in failure…
