Innovative Sensor Networks in Ghana: Operating and validating sensor networks for river discharge in Ghana during the wet season

In a Ghana project, field measurements at the Black Volta aimed to enhance hydrological predictions for the Bui power dam. Validating devices and exploring floodplain contributions, such as with GNSS reflectometry and cameras, provides crucial insights for dam management and model improvement.<br/><br/>In this multidisciplinary project,...

Nuevo Ferroviario Rio Biobío: Hydraulic and structural study for the new railway bridge to investigate the influence of river morphodynamics and tsunami impact on the structural stability of the bridge pier

In Chile, the Biobío river separates the cities of Concepción and San Pedro de la Paz. Bridges crossing the Biobío river ensure a fast and dependable connection, which contributes to the transport options in the region. With the Biobío region being the second largest contributor to the country's GDP, an unreliable transport network is highly...

Flood Defence Nagoya: Multidisciplinary Project

At the Shonai River around Nagoya, Japan, several flood related problems occur. These problems occur at different locations, each with its own problems or limitations. The desired safety level as requested by the government is that the river should be able to have a discharge which has a probability of failure of once in 200 years. At many...

Feasibility of Velocity Measurements by a Drifter in the Yangon River

Myanmar is dealing with a large data deficit, which is in contrast with the substantial need for it. The implementation of measuring techniques to obtain hydro- and morphodynamic data is an upcoming process. Measuring velocities can be valuable for calibrating models or giving estimates of sedimentation and erosion. An example of a measuring...

Improving navigation and preventing erosion near San Pablo, Bolivar

In this report a study is carried out on the Magdalena River near the village of San Pablo, Colombia. The Magdalena River near San Pablo experiences two major issues which are related to navigation and erosion. The major problem for inland navigation is the sharp bend of the Magdalena River at San Pablo, which has too small a radius, causing...
