Moerman, Andreas (author), van Bel, Nikki (author), Oesterholt, Frank (author), de Laat, Vincent (author), Blokker, E.J.M. (author)Climate change demands for sustainable options for heating and cooling of buildings. Low-temperature thermal energy can be abstracted from the drinking water distribution system (DWDS); this is called thermal energy from drinking water (TED). The possible use of TED as a secondary function of the DWDS raises the question whether this...book chapter 2022

(author), Weijers, S. (author)Modelling of the integrated urban water system is a powerful tool to optimise wastewater system performance or to find cost-effective solutions for receiving water problems. One of the challenges of integrated modelling is the prediction of water quality at the inlet of a WWTP. Recent applications of water quality sensors have resulted in the...conference paper 2014

Bakker, M. (author), Verberk, J.Q.J.C. (author), Palmen, L.J. (author), Sperber, V. (author), Bakker, G. (author)Half of all water supply systems in the Netherlands are controlled by model predictive flow control; the other half are controlled by conventional level based control. The differences between conventional level based control and model predictive control were investigated in experiments at five full scale water supply systems in the first half of...conference paper 2011

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Cecinati, F. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)This study addresses the effect of spatial and temporal resolution of rainfall fields on the performance of a simplified integrated catchment model for predicting dissolved oxygen concentrations in a river. For that purpose we propose a procedure to generate rainfall products with increasing spatial information at different time step...conference paper 2016

Aydin, B.E. (author), Rutten, M.M. (author), Abraham, E. (author)Surface water salinization in deltaic areas due to saline groundwater exfiltration is an important issue. Fresh water diverted from the rivers is used for flushing the canals and the ditches in coastal areas to remove the low quality saline surface water mixed with saline groundwater. Worldwide, deltaic areas are under stress due to climate...conference paper 2018

Aydin, B.E. (author), Rutten, M.M. (author), Abraham, E. (author), Oude Essink, GHP (author), Delsman, Joost (author)Surface water salinization in deltaic areas due to saline groundwater exfiltration is an important issue. Saline surface water will not be appropriate for drinking water production, agricultural and industrial use, and therefore, freshwater diverted from rivers is used for flushing the canals and ditches in coastal areas. The effects of climate...conference paper 2017

Azab, A.M. (author)The intensive uses of limited water resources, the growing population rates and the various increasing human activities put high and continuous stresses on these resources. Major problems affecting the water quality of rivers, streams and lakes may arise from inadequately treated sewage, poor land use practices, inadequate controls on the...doctoral thesis 2012

Vreeburg, J.H.G. (author)The quality of drinking water in the Netherlands meets high standards as is annually reported by the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM)(Versteegh and Dik, 2006). Also the water companies themselves report in the voluntary Benchmark that water quality is one of the least discriminating factors as all the companies ...doctoral thesis 2007

Xu, M. (author)Fresh water supply and flood protection are two central issues in water management. Society needs more and more fresh water and a safe water system to guarantee a better life. A more severe climate will result in more droughts and extreme storms. As a consequence, salt water intrusion will increase. Therefore, clean and fresh water is becoming...doctoral thesis 2013

Poças, A. (author)The main objective of the thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of the possible origins and development processes underlying tap water discolouration. With that purpose, qualitative and practical approaches were used for collecting loose deposits samples from distribution networks, i.e., methodologies that may be used together with...doctoral thesis 2014

Wijdeveld, A.J. (author)The management of sediment, soil and water in the Netherlands dates back to the first settlements in the lower Northern and Western parts of the Netherlands. Around 500 B.C. farmers constructed ‘terps’ (artificial dwelling mounds) to protect against floodwater. The Romans (50 B.C. – 250 A.C.) reshaped natural waterways, to improve transport by...doctoral thesis 2019

Eisfeld, R.C.M. (author)Fresh water is an essential resource for life. Yet, overexploitation of water resources, rainfall shortages, and a decrease in water quality by pollution increase water scarcity worldwide. Since agricultural production consumes about 70% of the available fresh water resources, it is particularly vulnerable for water scarcity. Therefore, this...doctoral thesis 2023
