Little, Emma (author)In the context of climate change and urbanization, sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are widely adopted measures to manage stormwater in the city on-site. However, their performance in practice often differs from modelled and laboratory-scale predictions due to the variability in properties of real sediments (in terms of size, shape,...master thesis 2022

Kool, Thijs (author)To reduce the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect Green Infrastructure (GI) is seen as a key measure. Though, often the need for water to evaporate is neglected. This study focuses on showing the effects of irrigation and increased soil moisture contents on GI within urban areas to reduce the UHI-effect. ENVI-met, a micro-climate model, is used to...master thesis 2021

van 't Westende, Thierry (author)Research towards aquathermal energy solutions is still in a pioneering phase. Especially in urban environments, these solutions could potentially form the missing connection between heating supply and demand. This study focuses on the application of these solutions in the city canal waters in the largest city of the Netherlands, Amsterdam ....master thesis 2021

de Lange, Robbert (author)Urban climate adaptation is generally attained --- in a hydrological perspective -- by implementing stormwater management techniques, such as grey, blue and green adaptation measures. Implementing such multi-functional adaptation measures touches on the interests of many stakeholders who need to work together to find resilient and suiting...master thesis 2021

Geertzen, Sander Geertzen (author)Drought and subsidence are two out of several water-related urban climate adaptation challenges many cities in the Netherlands currently face. Drought is expected to increase in frequency and extent due to climate change. Therefore, drought is likely to further pressurize (subsiding) urban areas in the coming decades. Although the impact of...master thesis 2021

Nouguès, Laura (author)The goal of this study was to get a better understanding of the current groundwater drainage in New Orleans, Louisiana. An analysis was conducted on the interactions between groundwater drainage and different water infrastructure systems like: the sanitary sewer system, the storm water drainage system, and the drinking water system. Due to the...student report 2021

Scholten, J. (author)As climate change takes hold, extreme weather events increasingly pressure the performance of the railway infrastructure. A first insight has been obtained into the impacts of climate change for the train system and the railway network, but there are almost no studies on the impact of our changing climate on railway stations. This study...master thesis 2020

Hsu, Shu-Chen (author)With urbanization and climate change, the reliable water supply by centralized system is facing challenges. Research on the (re)use of the outflow from an urban area as an alternative water resource is increasing in recent years. This research requires spatial and temporal information on the status of components of urban water cycle. Several...master thesis 2020

Machairas, Ilias (author)Due to climate change, extreme phenomena like droughts are going to be intensified. Even though droughts in agriculture have been studied, regarding urban environment their consequences are rather unexplored. Cities are susceptible to droughts and the estimation of their vulnerability is the first step for their protection. The objective of this...master thesis 2020

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

Chen, Shiyang (author)Water is cherished as treasure in traditional Chinese culture and expected to stay in harmony with human. However, the disharmony between water and urban life is looming especially after over thirty-year rapid urbanization in China with notable global climate change. Faced with water-related issues, e.g. flooding, water pollution, water shortage...master thesis 2020

Hoogmoet, Gijs (author)The world’s climate is changing. In the Netherlands one of the consequences is that water boards and municipalities are preparing for an increase in extreme precipitation. To evaluate the consequences in case of extreme precipitation all Dutch municipalities and water boards have to perform a stress test. In these stress tests the response of...master thesis 2019
