Sturende factoren erosie, transport en sedimentatie in stroomgebieden Rijn en Maas

Het Delft Cluster-project Waterkwaliteit & Calamiteiten brengt de toekomstige ontwikkeling van de water- en slibkwaliteit in beeld onder invloed van extreme gebeurtenissen (gerelateerd aan bijvoorbeeld klimaatsverandering en verandering in landgebruik) en door de mens veroorzaakte calamiteiten (zoals lozingsongelukken). Dit rapport is het...

A Hybrid Approach to Combine Physically Based and Data-Driven Models in Simulating Sediment Transportation

The objective of this study is to develop a methodology for hybrid modelling of sedimentation in a coastal basin or large shallow lake where physically based and data driven approaches are combined. This research was broken down into three blocks. The first block explores the possibility of approximating a physically based model using a data...

Impact of sedimentation in the Dommel flood plain on heavy metal availability and bioaccumulation in flora and fauna

This report describes the application of the BioChem-DSS, being developed in the EU KP6-programme AquaTerra, BASIN R3 work package, with the aim to assist in the definition and improvement of management options for the Meuse region. A case study was carried out in a flood plain site of the river Dommel, a tributary to the Meuse. The present T0...

Modelling of Cohesive Sediment Transportation, Deposition and Resuspension in the Haringvliet Mouth.

In the Dutch coastal zone, where the marine environment is characterized by shallow depths and highly energetic hydrodynamic conditions, the cohesive sediments, or mud, play an important role in the local morphology. For instance, mud deposits and high concentrations of suspended particulate matter (SPM) occur frequently, especially during...
