Ecosystem services (ES), the benefits humans receive from nature, increasingly come under pressure in Stockholm, one of the fastest growing capitals in Europe. To enhance the amount of eco-efficient area, Stockholm developed the Green Space Index (GSI). It is not known which areas in Stockholm might be particularly vulnerable in terms of ES...

The civilization and urbanization of Kathmandu Valley started with the Bagmati River but rapid urban expansion in the 21st century has brought many problems-the direct discharge of wastewater, solid waste in the river, encroachment of riverbanks by squatter settlements, and declining groundwater levels, they together contributed to the decline...

A model that simulates surface moisture content on sandy beaches for aeolian transport applications is developed and integrated into the aeolian transport model AeoLiS. The moisture content of a thin surface layer (≈2 mm thickness) is computed as a function of wave runup, precipitation, evaporation, percolation, and capillary rise from the...

Formulation of quaternary blended system containing ordinary Portland cement or clinker, slag, limestone and calcined clay (LC2) appeared to be a viable approach to developing low-clinker cements without severely sacrificing mechanical performance at later ages. This paper investigates the effect of two material parameters, i.e., LC2-to-slag...

The continuous accumulation of solid waste has posed a great threat to the environment of our future generations. A novel approach that is currently under development is to treat the waste collected in an engineered landfill in order to reduce the emission potential to an environmentally acceptable level. The main topic for this research is to...

Bio-receptivity refers to the aptitude of a material to allow for the natural growth of small plant species on stony surfaces with minimum external influence. Despite the numerous associated environmental benefits, the growth of mosses and lichens on facades has always been viewed as a negative phenomenon due to the random and shabby growth...

A recent increase in frequency and severity of exceptional climatic events is of concern for the stability of natural and artificial slopes. These undergo continuous evaporation and infiltration cycles, which change the suction distribution and trigger shrinkage, swelling, cracking, and surfi-cial erosion, overall decreasing the soil strength...

Since the earliest records, the Brazilian semiarid, in the northeast of the country, has suffered from water scarcity and recurrent droughts. To mitigate the effects of high variability and low availability of water in the region, governments have been investing, since the 1960s, in the construction of dams to stop the loss of water to the ocean...

The intended research and design exploration for resilient heritage landscapes of the future, looks at the heritage estate not just as a composition of a historic building and its garden ensemble but as a centrally organized economic system and a spatial assemblage of living, leisure and production. In the Achterhoek region from the Province of...

Soils used in earth construction projects are mostly unsaturated, and they undergo frequent drying–wetting cycles (repeated hydraulic loads) due to changes in climatic conditions or variations of the ground water level, particularly at shallow depths. After compaction, changes in water content can significantly influence the hydromechanical...

An accurate representation of water retention curves is important for various reasons. Traditional models already exist for the representation of these curves, with one of them being the van Genuchten model. When soil parameters are available, the van Genuchten model can be used to plot water retention curves. However, when these soil parameters...

In the process of urbanization, cities are becoming ever larger and denser, a process accompanied by a dramatic decrease in water permeable surface area. In addition to this, due to climate change, several areas are experiencing extended periods of heavy rainfall and serious droughts, resulting in an increasing water problem in many cities. <br/...

Deterioration of the ecological quality within the Markermeer, due to the elimination of natural flushing and a resulting increase in turbidity, has created a need to revitalize the region for the benefit of the local wildlife. One major way in which this is being achieved is through the Marker Wadden, designed as a wetland area featuring a...

Stabilization of waste bodies of landfill is achieved by treating the waste body using irrigation, recycling of leachate combined with landfill gas extraction and/or aeration. In order for the regulators and landfill operators to agree on a required level of after care, a quantitative estimation of remaining long-term emission potential is...

The objective of this project was to evaluate the beneficial effects of wetlands on flood risk reduction and water quality improvement in the Rhine. The analysis of wetland effects on flood risk reduction aimed at evaluating whether the position of a wetland in the basin – upstream or downstream – will influence the added value of the wetlands...
