Design of a low-cost microcontroller-based lightning monitoring device

Kamau, G.M. (author), Kang'ethe, S. (author), Kamau, S.I. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)

Lightning data is not only important for environment and weather monitoring but also for safety purposes. A device that monitors and keeps track of occurrences of lightning strikes has been developed. A communication interface is established between the sensors, data logging circuit and the microcontroller. The digital outputs of the lightning...

Weighted Bankruptcy Rules and Transboundary Water Resources Allocation

Mianabadi, H. (author), Mostert, E. (author), Pande, S. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)

One significant problem of transboundary river basins causing various challenges and disputes throughout the world is that because of increasing water resource variability and consumption, the water demand often exceeds water availability. Hence, one of the main challenges in transboundary river basin management is how to allocate the available...

GlobWat – a global water balance model to assess water use in irrigated agriculture (discussion paper)

Hoogeveen, J. (author), Faures, J.M. (author), Peiser, L. (author), Burke, J. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)

GlobWat is a freely distributed, global soil water balance model that is used by FAO to assess water use in irrigated agriculture; the main factor behind scarcity of freshwater in an increasing number of regions. The model is based on spatially distributed high resolution datasets that are consistent at global level and calibrated against values...

Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing for the determination of air temperature

De Jong, S.A.P. (author), Slingerland, J.D. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)

This paper describes a method to correct for the effect of solar radiation in atmospheric distributed temperature sensing (DTS) applications. By using two cables with different diameters, one can determine what temperature a zero diameter cable would have. Such a virtual cable would not be affected by solar heating and would take on the...

Interactive Water Services: The WATERNOMICS Approach

Clifford, E. (author), Coakley, D. (author), Curry, E. (author), Degeler, V. (author), Costa, A. (author), Messervey, T. (author), Van Andel, S.J. (author), Van de Giesen, N. (author), Kouroupetroglou, C. (author), Mink, J. (author), Smit, S. (author)

WATERNOMICS focuses on the development of ICT as an enabling technology to manage water as a resource, increase end-user conservation awareness and affect behavioral changes. Unique aspects of WATERNOMICS include personalized feedback about end-user water consumption, the development of systematic and standards-based water resource management...

Online estimation of flood damage in The Netherlands

Hoes, O.A.C. (author), Tariq, M.A.U.R. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)

This paper presents a recently developed model in the Netherlands for the online estimation of damage caused by floods. The model attempts to fill the lack of a consistent framework for the assessment of damage for all water authorities and all floods in the Netherlands. A framework was necessaiy to be able to evaluate the cost and benefit of...

Mapping variability of soil water content and flux across 1–1000 m scales using the Actively Heated Fiber Optic method

Sayde, C. (author), Buelga, J.B. (author), Rodriguez-Sinobas, L. (author), El Khoury, L. (author), English, M. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Selker, J.S. (author)

The Actively Heated Fiber Optic (AHFO) method is shown to be capable of measuring soil water content several times per hour at 0.25 m spacing along cables of multiple kilometers in length. AHFO is based on distributed temperature sensing (DTS) observation of the heating and cooling of a buried fiber-optic cable resulting from an electrical...

Inference of reactive transport model parameters using a Bayesian multivariate approach

Carniato, L. (author), Schoups, G.H.W. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author)

Parameter estimation of subsurface transport models from multispecies data requires the definition of an objective function that includes different types of measurements. Common approaches are weighted least squares (WLS), where weights are specified a priori for each measurement, and weighted least squares with weight estimation (WLS(we)) where...

Evaluating the Infiltration Performance of Eight Dutch Permeable Pavements Using a New Full-Scale Infiltration Testing Method

Boogaard, F.C. (author), Lucke, T. (author), Van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Van de Ven, F.H.M. (author)

Permeable pavements are a type of sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) technique that are used around the world to infiltrate and treat urban stormwater runoff and to minimize runoff volumes. Urban stormwater runoff contains significant concentrations of suspended sediments that can cause clogging and reduce the infiltration capacity and...
