Verstegen, E. (author)Conventional hydrological models use a deterministic approach. One could think of it like a black box, having an input, parameters, relations and an output. The parameters are calibrated by comparing the model output with observations of the system response (for example river runoff). When assessing the uncertainty in models the focus is often...master thesis 2016

Gautier, D.D. (author)Vietnam these days is facing some major problems, such as a rapidly growing population which increase the pressure on the environment. Furthermore, fast urbanization which leads to concerns about urban planning and sufficient infrastructure. While the perception amongst the Vietnamese population prevails that the government is solely in charge...master thesis 2016

Strohschein, P.M. (author)Since the 1990th Sasol, a local Non-Governmental-Organization (NGO), builds sand storage dams, to mitigate the consequences of droughts in the semi-arid county of Kitui, Kenya. Sand storage dams are dams constructed in ephemeral rivers which increase the storage capacity of the riverbeds. The water stored by sand storage dams enables local...master thesis 2016

Moors, J. (author)Small leaks in water supply networks often remain undiscovered, resulting in large amounts of lost water. Moreover, small leaks can grow larger over time and may result in pipe bursts, having negative consequences for the surroundings. An automatic leak localization method is required to decrease the search area and hence localize small leaks...master thesis 2016

Deurloo, T.J.C. (author)The climate and the urban systems are changing, leading to new challenges and opportunities in the urban environment. Adaptation to these challenges is needed, using the vulnerability assessment areas that are vulnerable can be identified. Vulnerability is the likelihood a system experiences harm and is the combination of both risks and...master thesis 2016

Yang Yue, Y. (author)This thesis presents a ComMod applications in Surabaya River basin, Indonesia. The ComMod approach was applied in parallel with the Negotiated Approach (NA). The NA is developed based on rich experiences in capacity building for IWRM, aiming to empower local communities in WRM at a high level. In this ComMod application, the NA provides a...master thesis 2016

De Koning, D. (author)This thesis discusses the applicability of assimilation of artificial SMAP data into a quasi steady state hydrological model to improve soil moisture estimates. The model used for this research was SIMGRO and since no real SMAP data were available at the time of the research, artificial SMAP data were used. The ensemble Kalman filter was used to...master thesis 2015

Cruijsen, A.C. (author)The overarching aim of this research project was to establish a sustainable urban water management design for Hoboken City to decrease vulnerability to extreme precipitation and improve urban quality. By carrying out a functional analysis of the area and the technical analysis of the water system, recommendations were made for soft and natural...master thesis 2015

Van 't Veld, A.C. (author)The Pampanga and Angat River Delta, located on the northern side of the Manila Bay in a large alluvial plain, are regularly confronted with worsening fluvial and tidal floods. Subsidence rates up to 4.5 cm/year due to excessive groundwater extraction are the main cause of the worsening floods. Five measures are presented to reduce the floods: -...master thesis 2015

Schellingerhout, J. (author)Decision Support Systems (DSSs) that are used nowadays by water managers often predict states that do not correspond with the observed states. This is caused by changing parameters in the real systems, while the parameters used in the current DSSs are kept at a fixed level or follow a temporal pattern that does not always represents reality....master thesis 2014

Koole, M.A. (author)As a result of expected increase of rainfall intensities due to climate change, there is an increasing demand for reliable flood damage models for urban areas. Most existing models focus on damage prediction using stage-damage curves, which mainly apply to fluvial or coastal floods on a regional scale. Pluvial flood- ing, however, often takes...master thesis 2014

Rathore, P. (author)The use of global precipitation datasets such as TRMM, WFD etc. for data scarce regions is gaining popularity since they provide forcing input for hydrological models. They make up for the lack of ground based data or the poor quality of whatever is available in many parts of the world. Using these datasets would be perfect if they were free of...master thesis 2014

Duerinck, H.M. (author)The lack of soil moisture – feedback understanding remains a large source of uncertainty for land-atmosphere coupled models. Better understanding requires observational studies. Observational studies on soil moisture – precipitation feedback in Illinois have shown contradictory results based on different approaches. This paper extends earlier...master thesis 2014

Pijcke, G. (author)The water quality of a 5 hectare lake system in Gardens by the Bay, Singapore is modelled. The lake system comprises two lakes, Dragonfly and Kingfisher Lake, connected by a 5 metre wide stream. Inflow is from runoff from the 50 hectare catchment and from pumping from the neighbouring Marina Bay Reservoir at a rate of 20 Ls-1, 24/7. Outflow is...master thesis 2014

Brouwers, I.J. (author)As many areas in The Netherlands are located below or slightly above mean sea level, or adjacent to large rivers, a lot of effort is put into ensuring the Dutch keep dry feet. The prevention of flooding is the most important and internationally well-known layer in the Dutch water safety policy. Nowadays this takes place by means of taking...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

De Boer, T. (author)This research evaluates the potential of thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing to determine and continuously monitor the horizontal water temperature distribution of inland surface water bodies. Usually, monitoring temporal and spatial variability of surface water temperature takes place by measurement networks of in-situ gauges, but these...master thesis 2014

Ginting, D.M. (author)Introduction Different water resources are shared among neighbouring nations worldwide, as water does not recognize any (political) boundaries. This fact has led to conflict and cooperation between neighbouring states over the management of such water resources. To manage these resources in a way that it prevents conflict and promotes...master thesis 2013
