Westebring, F. (author)In de natte infrastructuur worden kunstwerken vaak als op zichzelf staande eenheden beschouwd. Zij maken echter bijna altijd deel uit van een groter systeem. Het idee bestond dat er tussen de kunstwerken ook een zekere afhankelijkheid bestaat. Het probleem is echter dat er weinig inzicht is wat de effecten van die afhankelijkheid zijn op de...master thesis 2001

Vermeij, M. (author)Van oudsher heeft Nederland te maken met rivieroverstromingen. Door de eeuwen heen werd er voortdurend strijd tegen het water gevoerd. Bedijkingen moesten de bedreiging van overstromingen beheersbaar maken met als gevolg dat sedimentatie en dus ophoging van het land nu plaats vindt in het winterbed van de rivieren. De rivieren komen hierdoor...master thesis 2001

Van Leengoed, V.H. (author)Na het hoge water in de Maas in 1993 en 1995 is projectorganisatie De Maaswerken opgericht. Deze heeft onder meer als doel gesteld om de bewoonde gebieden langs de onbedijkte Maas te beschermen tegen hoogwater tot een niveau dat gemiddeld 1/250 keer per jaar optreedt. Een van de geplande maatregelen om dit doel te bereiken is de aanleg van...master thesis 2002

Duinmeijer, S.P.A. (author)Nowadays flooding because of a dike breach can be simulated with high accuracy by use of computer models. Delft FLS, which stands for DELFT Flooding System, developed by WL - Delft Hydraulics, is such a model. The hydrodynamic processes occurring during a flooding are complex, for example moving hydraulic jumps and propagating bores. The...master thesis 2002

Kebede, A.S. (author)Coastal zones are highly vulnerable to climate change and its variability. Future projections of global climate change suggest that relative sea-level rise and increased storm frequencies could lead to significant increases in coastal flooding and shoreline erosion. Associated with this, it is likely that coastal hazards can have the potential...master thesis 2009

Hooning, E.M. (author)The flood of the Koshi River in 2008 is the motive to execute this study. This flood is described as one of enormous proportions, a disaster which severely influenced the life of hundred thousands of people in Nepal and millions of people in India. This study investigates the natural aggradation of the river system and the influence of the...master thesis 2011

Wanders, G. (author), Van Velzen, B. (author), Scholtes, O. (author), Van Leeuwen, Y. (author), Henry, E. (author)Most hotels in the touristic city of Cartagena, Colombia are in Bocagrande. Bocagrande is coping with several issues which affect the social economic value of the peninsula. Flooding, coastal erosion, overtopping waves and lack of accessibility are the general issues mentioned by the stakeholders. They all seem to be interrelated and therefore...student report 2013

La Gasse, L.C. (author), Van Rooij, M.I.S. (author), Smits, B.P. (author), Ton, A.M. (author), Velhorst, R.L.C. (author)This report presents a study of the Malecón Tradicional in front of ‘Centro de Havana’ and ‘Havana Vieja’ in the city Havana, Cuba. The objective is to develop a sea defence solution that prevents unacceptable flooding of the hinterland and damage of the Malecón seawall. Implementing the recommended solutions reduces the overtopping sufficiently...student report 2015

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

Pearson, S.G. (author)Low-lying tropical islands are highly vulnerable to the effects of sea-level rise and climate change. Most pressing is the threat posed to their fresh water supplies by wave-induced flooding. This thesis attempts to generalize previous site-specific studies of flooding on coral atolls and apply it in a framework that can be used for early...master thesis 2016

Suh Heo, H.Y. (author)Various flood protection measures are studied across the globe, and nature-friendly and environmentally resilient methods are gaining more attention. As part of the building with nature initiative, the project BE SAFE (Bio-Engineering for SAFEty) studies the effects of a vegetated foreshore as a flood protection measure which is found to be very...master thesis 2016
