Wahyu Satrio Ardiko, Wahyu (author)Since coined in 2011, socio-hydrology studies have been dominated with mathematical models developed by mostly hydrologists, which often did not take social aspects into account so seriously. Some people argued that more attention into the social part of socio-hydrology should be given, because often the social aspects were too oversimplified....master thesis 2019

Savazzi, Alessandro (author)The Meuse river basin covers an area of 33,000 km2, touches five countries and is a major communication route in Europe. It is one of the catchments with longest streamflow records, with daily measures of discharge dating back to the beginning of the previous century. Attempts to model streamflow with standard hydrological models revealed that...student report 2019

Fischmann, Felipe (author)Fluvial flooding is a recurring phenomenon in Rwanda due to a combination of climate, topography and human interventions. This poses a hazard to human lives and infrastructure, particularly in low-lying areas adjacent to major rivers. An example of such areas is the Masaka wetland, located in the southern edge of the capital Kigali along the...master thesis 2018

Sanchez Gomez, Pablo (author)As population levels protected by large dams have risen in the last decades, accurately assessing flood hazard and risk will become increasingly important for developing and sustaining flood mitigation policies. Recent research has shown that the degree of control and protection offered by retaining structures largely depend on their operation...master thesis 2018

Dijkstra, Fokke (author), Jordans, Luuk (author), Groenewegen, Maurits (author), Steijlen, Florentine (author), Mekel, Charlotte (author)Terminos Lagoon is the biggest and ecologically most important fluvial-lagoon system of the southern Gulf of Mexico. Rivers, sea and meteorology all influence the lagoon, variable over the year, resulting in a complex situation. To protect this area, it is crucial to know how different hydrological processes, hydrodynamic processes and spatial...student report 2018

van der Tak, Nicolette (author)Conceptual hydrological model parameters represent characteristics of a catchment. They are an integration of spatial heterogeneous parts of the system. Finding adequate parameter values based on field observations, which represents the heterogeneity of a catchment on the spatial resolution and scale of the model, is considered challenging since...master thesis 2018

Stephen Sanjaya, Stephen (author)Drought is a recurrent extreme climate event that strongly affects every spectre of the natural environment and human lives (Madadgar andMoradkhani, 2014). There were numerous drought episodes recorded in MidwesternUSA, particularly in California. It has affected many aspects, including water shortages, groundwater overdraft, critically low...master thesis 2018

Ramirez Infante, David (author)The Inter-Amount Times (IAT) adaptive sampling technique has been used for the analysis of hydrological response in urban areas. The analysis of hydrological response often requires the correct use and interpretation of temporal parameters such as lag time adapted to complexities and requirements of urban environments.<br/>In this thesis, the...master thesis 2018

Bouman, Christian (author)Extreme weather events seem to happen more often nowadays. One of these extreme events was the California Drought between 2012 and 2016. The socioeconomic and environmental impacts of this drought were enormous:<br/>thousands square kilometers of agricultural land fallowed, thousands of lost jobs, salinization problems and forest fires. As a...master thesis 2018

Sathyadevan, Sruthi (author)Calibration of groundwater models can be done manually by comparing the measured and computed groundwater heads or automatically using algorithms which do the work for you. Modules for this purpose are included in or linked externally to traditional groundwater modelling software and used. One such module PEST (Parameter ESTimation) uses the...master thesis 2018

Walraven, Bas (author)Worldwide landslides cause a great amount of damage, as is also the case in Rwanda. Here more and more slopes fail as anthropogenic activities such as building, farming, or deforestation, are moved to marginal lands such as hillslopes. To investigate the hydrological response of typical hillslopes in North Western Rwanda five landslides are...student report 2018

Richards, Mick (author), Zaalberg, Piet (author), Vonck, Tim (author), Koster, Piebe (author), Kok, scipio (author), Lanphen, stephanie (author)The cities of Tenggarong and Samarinda in East Kalimantan are in need of a new source of drinking water, since their current source, the Mahakam river, is said to be polluted. The client of this project, Arsari Enviro Industri, owns a large concession named ITCI of a partly degraded forest 90 kilometers East of Samarinda. This report suggests...student report 2017

Haayen, Jade (author)Water management is becoming increasingly important in the world. Population growth, climate change, and increasing demands placed on infrastructure call for a smart and standardized approach. The data needs to stay at the source and sharing information in a more efficient way is becoming increasingly important. To make this possible in the...master thesis 2017

Redekop-van der Meulen, Élan (author)Though often successful in geopolitical and economical terms, the tendency to engineer infrastructures for ‘single purpose’ often resulted in disrupted landscapes and erasure of cultural and natural values (Strang 1996). Besides this, Tokyo deals with a wide range of problematiques, from the threat of earthquakes destroying its expressways and...master thesis 2017

Sharma, Ajar (author)Forests can influence local and regional weather and climate by various mechanisms. The importance of forests as a key regulator of moisture circulation has been shown by many studies. The Amazon rainforest is the lifeline for the conservation of the biodiversity of the region. However, since the last three decades, the deforestation trend in...master thesis 2017

de Vos, Lotte (author)Standard conceptual hydrological models can rarely accommodate stream tracer dynamics at the catchmentscale. They rely on the generation of runoff through the propagation of a pressure wave and do not accountfor the actual advective movement of particles. Over the last years different model frameworks have beendeveloped to account for this...master thesis 2017

This growth leads to a water stress and pollution of the surface and groundwater. The lack of proper waste management and sanitation results in the ongoing deterioration of the water quality in the Kathmandu Valley. The situation is...student report 2017

Keizer, Kasper (author)The role of water storages at greenhouses will change in the future due to three trends in climate change, upscaling of greenhouses and changes in regulations. These three trends force the local water authority and the greenhouse sector to anticipate on future problems. First step in this process is to understand the hydrological response of...master thesis 2017

Mulder, M.G.J. (author)Additional thesis - Due to an expected increase in rainfall intensity in the future because of climate change for the area of Rotterdam, the amount of storm water runoff will increase as well, resulting in higher stress on the sewer system. But until now we don’t fully understand the behavior of a sewer system. This additional thesis should help...student report 2017

van Ramshorst, Justus (author)This report introduces the use of Genetic Programming (GP) into hydrology by describing the results of GP using conceptual hydrological models as physical representation. First the possibilities of GP are tested on synthetic data, which results in a shortlist of good working objective functions and insight in the most important GP settings. The...student report 2017
