Le Poole, Dorius (author)River discharge is traditionally required with a lot of measurements and data. However there are areas where discharge data is not available. In this research a tool is developed based on hydraulic geometry relations to estimate the discharge of a river in bank full state near Narok, Kenya. With the help of the Global Navigation Satellite System...master thesis 2024

Hoogendoorn, Niels (author)Water is essential for life on earth and is vital for numerous sectors of our society. Pressures arising from climate change, growing populations, and the shift towards clean energy accentuate the importance of effective water management. To make decisions about water resource allocation, hydraulic modeling studies have been undertaken on large...master thesis 2023

Zhou, Wenyu (author)Since the mid-19th century global temperatures have increased significantly, so does the intensity of extreme rainfall. Previous studies have suggested that by the end of the century extreme rainfall intensity would increase by 10.5% and 28.2% for the low and high emission scenarios, and the centennial extreme rainfall would increase by 13.5%...student report 2022

Cheaz, Tristan (author), Kromwijk, Dominique (author), Middelbeek, Lisanne (author), Nelen, Louis (author), Sutarto Hardjosusono, Sunar (author)This report provides a flood risk assessment of the Isiolo River Basin, in collaboration with Nelen & Schuurmans (3Di, FIS Tool) and Zephyr Consulting (SLAMDAM). This flood risk assessment includes a study of the current flood risk management in Kenya, and in the Isiolo River Basin in particular, because the need for proper flood management...student report 2022

Kingma, Vera (author)Human interventions in the White Volta River in Ghana increase the flood risk in living spaces of the local communities, causing great challenges in the area. Burkina Faso has built a hydropower dam near the border with Ghana which has a large impact on the discharge extremes of the White Volta River. As a result of poor water management of this...master thesis 2021

Krijnen, Katrice (author)Water challenges the livelihood of all living beings through its scarcity and its abundance. Due to climate change these extremes will intensify in the future. As mankind continues to cluster in economic centre points, housing areas as well as infrastructure increases. This situation forces the water to run off rather than infiltrate. Inundated...master thesis 2020

Benito Lazaro, Irene (author)The Philippines is a country located in the typhoon belt of the Pacific. Its location makes it typhoon prone and on average around 20 typhoons enter the country every year (Asian Disaster Reduction Center, 2008). This natural phenomenon can have disastrous effects and therefore, good preparedness is of special importance. Traditionally weather...master thesis 2019

Hutten, Rinske (author)Flooding in cities, known as Urban Pluvial Flooding (UPF), causes disruption of society, damage to cities and inconvenience for people. Cities are expected to become more vulnerable to UPF due to more frequent and more intense extreme rainfall events with high spatial variability as result of climate change. Additionally increasing urbanisation...master thesis 2018

Koning, A.M. (author)Additional thesis - To improve weather monitoring, local near-real time weather forecasts and climate monitoring, a dense network of sensors should be set up. As shown already in the 1990s, GPS is a promising measurement device to form a dense network for meteorology observation. Because of economic reasons, a network of dual frequency GPS...student report 2017

Jusuf, K.A. (author)Reservoirs are often operated to meet two or more objectives that sometimes may conflict. An example of this conflict is to keep storage low enough to maintain spare capacity for flood protection, but also to keep it high enough to maintain reliability of water / hydropower supply. Optimising the control decisions of reservoirs can provide a...master thesis 2016
