van Alderwegen, Earvin (author)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...master thesis 2021

Nijhuis, Loes (author)The Rhine-Meuse estuary is part of the Southwestern Delta area in the Netherlands. The nature present in the estuary suffered a great impact due to urbanization, as a natural delta transformed into an industrialized river, mainly due to port activities. Various parties decided to collaborate in order to return the tidal nature in the Rhine Meuse...master thesis 2021

de Haas, Huck (author)The Gulf of Mottama, located in the southwest of Myanmar, is home to morphologically interesting processes. An entrance of around 100 km wide narrows into a funnelÂshaped bay towards the Sittaung River in the north. The entire estuary region is subject to strong dynamic morphological activity which is alleged to be driven by the large tidal...master thesis 2021

Montijn, Roline (author)River bars are large-scale bedforms formed by the local deposition of sediments, the length of which scales with the channel width and the height with the water depth. They create suitable habitats for aquatic fauna and riparian vegetation, making them useful in river restoration projects. Understanding the dynamics of river bar development is...master thesis 2021

Holland, Bram (author), Abrahamse, Noor (author), van den Brekel, Evelien (author), van der Voort Maarschalk, Joost (author), Keunen, Oscar (author), Janssen, Pauline (author)The goal of this study is to examine the feasibility of this solution, from a water quality and hydraulic point of view. Firstly, the current state of the three water bodies was investigated and a stakeholder analysis was conducted to look into the social and political context. Secondly, the effect of the solution on the water quality in the WL...student report 2019

Molenaar, Floor (author), Pak, Tom (author), de Pous, Hanna (author), van der Werff, Bart-Jan (author)The city of Guayaquil suffers from regular floods. During the wet season, typically from late December until late April or early May, multiple floods per week can occur. Mainly the excessive rainfall in combination with high tide penetrating into the city results in a high flood risk, but some flood-prone areas can also flood in case of spring...student report 2018

van der Bilt, Daphne (author), Kroes, Jenske (author), Paulissen, Sjoerd (author), van Wierst, Bas (author)The reach of the Magdalena River around the city of Barrancabermeja experiences large issues concerning its navigability since the construction of the Yondó Bridge. The purpose of this study is to investigate possible causes of this poor navigability and to come up with an improvement to the current situation. The influence of bars and scour...student report 2018

Ostanek Jurina, Tadej (author)In large braided rivers, river training is often required to protect the banks against erosion, to improve navigability and for land reclamation. Closing one of the channels is a promising option to achieve these goals. However, there is a lack of systematic research on channel closures and no guidelines for their use exist. In the few...master thesis 2017

Chen, X. (author)Abstract: For a design purpose, this study mainly focuses on the channel resistance with different spatial distribution of the vegetation patches. Even under the same blockage factor, the total patch numbers in the channel, the distance between two vegetation patches both in the lateral and longitudinal direction as well as the length ratio of...master thesis 2017

Wetser, A. (author)Over the past centuries natural riverbanks have been transformed into banks with artificial revetments or sheet piles to protect them from erosion, which led to disappearance of important river features for flora and fauna. River restoration projects show that the removal of man-made bank protections may lead to the formation of bars (e.g. Van...master thesis 2017

Stenfert, J.G. (author), Rubaij Bouman, R.M. (author), Tutein Nolthenius, R.C. (author), Joosten, S. (author)Despite several researches about the hydrological and hydrodynamic system of the Guayas region, elementary insight of the total system was lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to create a general overview regarding floods. Besides, basic solutions are proposed for preparing Guayaquil against floods which might be present in the...student report 2017

Vila Santamaria, R. (author)Bangladesh is characterised by its complex river system, which includes the downstream ends of two of the largest rivers in the world: the Ganges and Brahmaputra. Extremely variable flows and fast morphological changes are the principal characteristics of this system, which presents exceptional challenges for river engineering. Distributary...master thesis 2017

Barrera Crespo, P.D. (author)The Guayas River estuary supports extensive socio-economic processes. It is formed at the confluence of the Babahoyo and Daule Rivers and runs for around 65 km before discharging into the Pacific Ocean. Its relevance within the national context is linked to the city of Guayaquil, the most populated city and commercial capital of Ecuador....master thesis 2016

Vereijken, K.H. (author)A hydrodynamic study shows high flow velocities at the IJsselkop bifurcation during the design discharge of 16,000 m3/s. The study, performed in 2005, concludes that these velocities might affect 1) the stability of IJssel river bed and 2) the stability of the grass cover layer of the flood plain at the bifurcation. This report provides a better...master thesis 2016

Rongen, G.W.F. (author)The Belgian Meuse is a river with a relatively low flood risk. The floodplains are narrow, and the estimated impact is not large until the flood reaches a magnitude of a once in a 200 years event. Flooding along the Belgian Meuse could however have an effect on the flood safety in the Netherlands, since there the flood defences are dimensioned...master thesis 2016

Van Aarle, R.R.J. (author)This study is about the effect of outer-delta bottom topographies adaptations on salt water intrusion in estuaries. An increase in salt water intrusion is considered as problematic in a lot of estuaries in the world. Various solutions are developed in the past to reduce salt water intrusion. These solutions have also negative side effects. An...master thesis 2015
