de Wolf, Rosa (author)The climate crisis and unsustainable growth are worldwide interrelated problems. Population growth increases the demand for natural resources and the demand for housing. This is all putting pressure on the natural system and is strengthening the conflict of space between the built environment, agricultural land and the natural landscape....master thesis 2023

van Beek, Hidde (author)Arid regions throughout the world experience long periods of drought. Combined with a high temperature, this can lead to water shortage. Due to climate change, this is expected to worsen, as areas become drier and temperatures increase. One of the regions where this problem occurs is the region of North-East Africa. In this region, water stress...master thesis 2022

Castelli, Giulio (author), Piemontese, Luigi (author), Quinn, Ruth (author), Aerts, Jeroen (author), Elsner, Paul (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author), Hussey, Stephen (author), Filho, Walter Leal (author), Limones, Natalia (author)Sand dams are impermeable water harvesting structures built to collect and store water within the volume of sediments transported by ephemeral rivers. The artificial sandy aquifer created by the sand dam reduces evaporation losses relative to surface water storage in traditional dams. Recent years have seen a renaissance of studies on sand dams...journal article 2022

van der Linde, Stan (author)Recent developments in quantum annealing have shown promising results in logistics, life sciences, machine learning and more. However, in the field of geophysical sciences the applications have been limited. A quantum annealing application was developed for residual statics estimation. Residual statics estimation is a highly non-linear problem...master thesis 2021

He, Xinyu (author)Water scarcity is a problem not only in the Tarim river but worldwide. Starting from water scarcity in the upper reaches of the Tarim River, this research focuses on exploring the possible solution for water scarcity and unsustainable livelihood for farmers in this region. By referring to similar cases and literature, principles of water-saving,...master thesis 2021

Hulsman, P. (author)Throughout the world, many people have been affected by water related issues in the past, some more extreme than others. In this context, hydrological models have often been used to gain more insight into the situation and to limit negative impacts as much as possible. There are many different types of hydrological models with each their...doctoral thesis 2021

Hulsman, P. (author), Savenije, Hubert (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author)Study region: The study area is the river basin upstream of the Kariba dam located in the Zambezi River at the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Study focus: During the dry season of 2019 in Sub-Saharan Africa, extremely low water levels occurred in the Zambezi. According to news media, locals perceived this drought as the worst in several...journal article 2021

Hulsman, P. (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author), Savenije, Hubert (author)In the Luangwa basin in Zambia, long-term total water storage variations were observed with Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, but not reproduced by a standard conceptual hydrological model that encapsulates our current understanding of the dominant regional hydrological processes. The objective of this study was to identify potential...journal article 2021

Doulabian, Shahab (author), Ghasemi Tousi, Erfan (author), Aghlmand, Reza (author), Alizadeh, Babak (author), Ghaderi Bafti, Alireza (author), Abbasi, A. (author)Rainwater harvesting (RWH) has been recognized as one of the most reliable and efficient methods for water supply, especially in arid and semi-arid regions (ASARs) facing freshwater scarcity. Nevertheless, due to the inherent uncertainty of input data and subjectivity involved in the selection of influential parameters, the identification of...journal article 2021

Veras Morais, M. (author)Since the earliest records, the Brazilian semiarid, in the northeast of the country, has suffered from water scarcity and recurrent droughts. To mitigate the effects of high variability and low availability of water in the region, governments have been investing, since the 1960s, in the construction of dams to stop the loss of water to the ocean...master thesis 2020

Zenteno Montemayor, Yarai (author)Recent studies show an increase in energy use on buildings due to higher cooling demands, constituting an increase of 17% of the global energy consumption by 2050. Tendencies also show that cooling degree days around the globe will also increase and this will display a greater impact on developing countries with warm climates. Subsequently, this...master thesis 2020

Abdelrady, Ahmed (author), Sharma, Saroj (author), Sefelnasr, Ahmed (author), El-Rawy, Mustafa (author), Kennedy, M.D. (author)Bank filtration (BF) is acknowledged as a sustainable and effective technique to provide drinking water of adequate quality; it has been known for a long time in Europe. However, this technique is site-specific and therefore its application in developing countries with different hydrologic and environment conditions remains limited. In this...journal article 2020

Mianabadi, Ameneh (author), Davary, Kamran (author), Pourreza-Bilondi, Mohsen (author), Coenders-Gerrits, Miriam (author)The Budyko framework was firstly developed to estimate actual evaporation as a function of precipitation and the aridity index at steady state conditions. Based on this framework, the water storage change in the watershed is assumed to be negligible at large spatial and temporal scales. However, steady state conditions are not valid for many...review 2020

Barnieh, Beatrice Asenso (author), Jia, Li (author), Menenti, M. (author), Zhou, Jie (author), Zeng, Yelong (author)Post‐classification change detection was applied to examine the nature of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) transitions in West Africa in three time intervals (1975–2000, 2000–2013, and 1975– 2013). Detailed analyses at hotspots coupled with comparison of LULC transitions in the humid and arid regions were undertaken. Climate and anthropic drivers...journal article 2020

Okello, Aline M.L.Saraiva (author), Masih, Ilyas (author), Uhlenbrook, S. (author), Jewitt, Graham P.W. (author), van der Zaag, P. (author)The variability of rainfall and climate, combined with land use and land cover changes, and variation in geology and soils makes it a difficult task to accurately describe the key hydrological processes in a catchment. With the aim to better understand the key hydrological processes and runoff generation mechanisms in the semi-arid meso-scale...journal article 2018
