van Druten, E.J. (author)Uncertainties about climate change and the energy market constitute a major challenge in designing a pumping station. To tackle this challenge, a robust design is needed, that performs satisfactory under a wide variety of future conditions. Multi-Objective Robust Simulation Optimization (MORSO) was applied, to create a robust re-design for...master thesis 2016

Qian, L. (author)With the incentive to reach the energy saving and CO2 emission reduction targets of the Netherlands, the application of Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) is expected to increase sharply during this decade [2]. With limited aboveground and underground space, well arrangement is becoming difficult in busy areas with a rapidly growing number of...master thesis 2014

Visschedijk, A.B.M. (author)The Greater New Orleans area suffers from flooding caused by extreme rainfall events on a yearly basis. Since most stormwater is flushed into the drainage system via mostly impervious surface, water does not infiltrate into the ground, which causes subsidence due to soil drying out, which causes damages to roads, buildings and underground...master thesis 2014

Leeuwdrent, W.J. (author)After the disastrous floods in 1953 in the Netherlands, measures are taken to improve the safety in the Netherlands. In the Southwest of the Netherlands a couple of tidal basins are closed by the construction of dams and storm surge barriers. The closure of tidal basins shortens the coastal length and can result in a cost reduction comparing...master thesis 2012

Hoss, F. (author)Multilayered Safety (MLS) is seen as the next step in Dutch flood risk management. In the last decades the idea that only flood defenses can prevent floods gave way to the realization prevention can also be implemented along other lines, e.g. giving the rivers more space. The next thought was that next to preventing floods it should be possible...master thesis 2010
