For millennia, humans have lived, constructed, and cultivated along the banks of rivers. Rivers are the genius loci of these riverside cities, embodying the spirit of the place and its people. Rivers have been the source of life upon which civilization was built: providing water, power, and transport, but are also spiritually deeply meaningful...

Plastic pollution and accumulation in the riverine environment is of increasing concern. While most research focuses on microplastic contamination, the dynamics of macrolitter remain largely unknown. Large scale riverbank monitoring initiatives in the Netherlands reveal that macrolitter hotspots occur at several locations. Unfortunately, current...

Large-scale measures within the river programmes such as Room for the River, Natura2000 and Water Framework Directive have increased the biodiversity in Dutch rivers and have achieved a more natural landscape. However, recent river programmes have shown conflicts between safety against flooding and riverine nature rehabilitation with maintaining...

The natural development of the morphology of rivers in time is important due to the functions rivers fulfil, such as navigability and drinking water supply. Rivers adjust their morphology when there is a change in the river controls, which are mainly the water discharge, sediment discharge and downstream water level. The morphology adjustments...

Due to climate change, glaciers are melting on the Tibetan Plateau. These glaciers are the water source for big rivers as the Brahmaputra which stream towards the most densely populated area on Earth. Previous studies indicated that water surface heights of lakes connected to the glaciers are increasing in the north of the Tibetan Plateau, while...

The project for a public bath in Belgrade offers a chance to reflect on the current transformations of the city. On the one hand, the rivers. The role that the Sava and the Danube played in the life of the city changed from borders to infrastructural arteries in the past century, turning the shores of the city into industrial areas. Connected by...

The aim of this thesis was to investigate the evolution of Ilissos and Kifissos river basins in Athens, Greece and the ways this evolution was influenced by specific human factors. The dynamics of the human-water interactions have been studied in the frame of sociohydrology and the central key was to study the impact society had on the...

Conventional dike reinforcement measures do not take vegetation into account, while vegetation contains wave damping properties. Reasoning for this is that vegetation in general is seen as temporary and hence may be removed in the future. In this case study for the Dutch waterboard WDOD, the wave damping properties of vegetation in a floodplain...

Dooren, Mirja (author)
Understanding the river dynamics is very important to be able to make use of all river functions and to protect ourselves against floods. Hydrodynamic models are used to predict river behaviour and one of the input parameters is the river geometry. In-situ measuring of river geometry can be very expensive and time consuming. Remote sensing...

This report describes and analyses small scale plough process. This research is initiated by Deltares and the Delft University of Technology as an experimental way to gain insight in the ploughing of the river bed in rivers. The main target of this thesis is to gather information on the plough process as applied in the maintenance of the Waal...

Confluences are special, complex elements within river systems which have been subject of much research. However, little attention has been given to the effects of density differences in confluences. The aim of this research is to see when and how density differences are important in confluences with respect to other occurring flow structures....

The goal of my graduation project is an intervention on three scales: the regional, local and zooming in on the border of two cities where the site is. The analysis of the region led to a understanding of Rio Grande challenges with the focus on El Paso/Juarez where the river stops. The research on a local scale advantage at finding a new...

Through an exploration of built form in a highly dynamic river environment, this project addresses the relationship between architecture, flooding, and landscape. A series of buildings are proposed along the river's banks in the small Finnish village of Ivalo, 250km above the Arctic Circle

Berkhout, B. (author)
River bed degradation is sometimes counteracted with nourishment of sediment material. Numerical models — which include Hirano’s sediment continuity model for mixed-size sediment — can be used to predict the transport of different sediment fractions (the waves due to spatial variations in the grain size distribution of the bed material are here...

Arailopoulos, I. (author)
Depth-averaged morphological computations using Delft3D tend to produce ‘strange’, results for river bends when the sediment transport formulas of Van Rijn are used. Even pools in inner bend regions and bars in outer bend regions can result from the model. The objective of the present thesis is to identify the cause of the problem and propose...

Hyperbody graduation studio was focused on the exploration of the concept of Climatic Ecologies, in which the climatic relationships between the building and its context are the main concern in order to establish a synergistic relation between the architectural space and the environment. Within the framework of the studio, my project explores...
