Yang, Xinyue (author)To obtain and fully use long series of high-precision observations of water balance components, it is necessary to quantify and reduce random and systematic data errors. This thesis applies and evaluates a previously developed data fusion methodology for bias-correcting and noise-filtering remote sensing observations of water balance variables...master thesis 2022

Ponds, Magali (author)Hydrological models are often used to evaluate future changes in streamflow. Despite the strong aware- ness of non-stationarity in hydrological system characteristics, model parameters are often assumed stationary and obtained through calibration on past conditions. The representation of system change in hydrological models is challenging, as a...master thesis 2022

Nazeer, A. (author), Maskey, Shreedhar (author), Skaugen, Thomas (author), McClain, M.E. (author)In many high altitude river basins, the hydro-climatic regimes and the spatial and temporal distribution of precipitation are little known, complicating efforts to quantify current and future water availability. Scarce, or non-existent, gauged observations at high altitudes coupled with complex weather systems and orographic effects further...journal article 2022

Kipyegon Bosuben, David (author), Wehn, Uta (author), van der Zaag, P. (author)Access to accurate and trusted data for transboundary water management is important but not always sufficiently appreciated. Based on the Lake Victoria water levels decline, this technical note demonstrates that when a water crisis unfolds, tensions can arise because of absence of relevant data and uncertainty over data that are available....journal article 2022

Hessels, T.M. (author), Davids, Jeffrey C. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author)Strategic planning of water management at the river-basin scale requires (1) measurement and accounting of individual hydrological processes, (2) quantification of water resources, and (3) their optimal allocation. Scalable Water Balances from Earth Observations (SWEO) is an open-access parameterization enabling automated reporting of water...journal article 2022

de Jong, Ties (author)"Landfills form the final stage in waste processing and are sources of multiple environmentally harmful emissions. Due to the biodegradation of organic material, methane, a strong greenhouse gas, is released into the air and soluble pollutants, like ammonium or heavy metals, are flushed out of the landfill waste. In modern landfills, the waste...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

(author), Li, Xin (author), Jia, Li (author), Yang, Kun (author), Pellicciotti, Francesca (author), Mancini, Marco (author), Shi, Jiancheng (author), Escorihuela, Maria José (author), Zheng, Chaolei (author)This project explored the integrated use of satellite, ground observations and hydrological distributed models to support water resources assessment and monitoring in High Mountain Asia (HMA). Hydrological data products were generated taking advantage of the synergies of European and Chinese data assets and space-borne observation systems....journal article 2021

Al-Washali, T.M.Y. (author)Water utilities worldwide lose 128 billion cubic meters annually, causing annual monetary losses estimated at USD 40 billion. Most of these losses occur in developing countries (74%). This calls for a rethinking of the challenges facing water utilities in developing countries, foremost of which is the assessment of water losses in intermittent...doctoral 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

Al-Washali, T.M.Y. (author), Sharma, Saroj (author), Lupoja, Robert (author), AL-Nozaily, Fadhl (author), Haidera, Mansour (author), Kennedy, M.D. (author)Reducing all water loss components to zero is neither technically possible nor economically viable. The water loss components should be accurately assessed and prioritised for a reduction. This paper investigates all methods that break down the water losses in distribution networks into apparent and real losses. Their accuracies and...review 2020

Huang, Yuan (author), Zheng, Feifei (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Savić, Dragan (author), Duan, Huan-Feng (author)This paper proposes a multistage method for burst leak localization through valve operations (VOs) and smart demand metering in district meter areas (DMAs) of water distribution systems (WDSs). Each stage includes partitioning of the DMA into two subregions using VOs and identification of potentially leaking pipes within the subregions...journal article 2020

ZHANG, Wenxing (author)The undertaken thesis work conducts a research study based on the study area — Laakhaven, The Hague, to develop an implementation example of the Adaptation Pathway approach, in order to support long-term adaptive stormwater management planning on urban adaptation measures to mitigate pluvial flooding under the climatic and socio-economic...master thesis 2019

Vermeijden, Loys (author)Landfills are full of contaminated material, which could be harmful for the environment. To reduce the risks of pollutants entering the environment, a watertight base layer and an impermeable cover layer isolate the waste. These layers have to be maintained eternally, which is very costly. To move towards a more sustainable landfill aftercare,...master thesis 2018

(author)Wildfires are a growing concern in the Mediterranean area. Prescribed burning (PB) is often used to reduce fire risk, through fine fuel reduction. However, the monitoring of PB effects on ecosystem processes is mandatory before its spread. This study aims to assess hydrological effects of PB on the topsoil by controlled laboratory experiments...journal article 2018

(author)Groundwater is the most important resource for local society and the ecosystem in the semi-arid Hailiutu River catchment. The catchment water balance was analyzed by considering vegetation types with the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), determining evapotranspiration rates by combining sap flow measurements and NDVI values,...journal article 2015

Kuijk, D. (author)The urban area is complex. It consists of buildings, roads, green areas and surface water. The subsurface is just as complex. Interaction between groundwater and drainage, seepage from deeper groundwater aquifers and interaction with surface water make it difficult to determine what is happening. The urban area is also sensitive to damages, both...master thesis 2015

Berghuijs, W.R. (author), Sivapalan, M. (author), Woods, R.A. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author)Recent hydrologic synthesis efforts have presented evidence that the seasonal water balance is at the core of overall catchment responses, and understanding it will assist in predicting signatures of streamflow variability at other time scales, including interannual variability, the flow duration curve, low flows, and floods. In this study, we...journal article 2014

Van Tol, J. (author)Since several decades organic micro pollutants (OMPs) have been detected in natural waters. Although appearing in very low concentrations (nanograms to micrograms per litre or even lower), the presence of more than 100.000 registered chemical substances in the European Union, of which 30.000-70.000 are in daily use, is a major reason for concern...master thesis 2014
