The effect of the imperviousness on the hydrological response time of sewer districts in Rotterdam: Study based on new monitoring system by municipality of Rotterdam

Additional thesis - Due to an expected increase in rainfall intensity in the future because of climate change for the area of Rotterdam, the amount of storm water runoff will increase as well, resulting in higher stress on the sewer system. But until now we don’t fully understand the behavior of a sewer system. This additional thesis should help...

Hydrological response times in lowland urban catchments characteristed by looped drainage systems

Hydrological response times are often used to characterise runoff processes. They provide information about temporal resolution of catchments responses, thus of the required measurement resolutions of in-situ sensors as well as spatial sensors like rainfall radars. The objective of this study was to characterise response times for urban...
