Climate change will lead to more extreme climate and weather phenomena, and this includes the increased risk and severity of flooding. Flooding is one of the most destructive and common natural hazards globally, and rising sea levels and extreme precipitation mean that many human settlements will be situated in climate-sensitive areas. <br/><br/...

Climate change &amp; sea-level rise<br/>It is well-known that the Netherlands is susceptible for sea-level rise. Half of the country is situated below sea level and in an estuary. Previous measures of the Dutch against the threat of inundation have resulted in the closure of estuary branches, decrease in the length of primal flood defences and...

This project is mainly about the revitalization of the old port area of the Chinese city Xiangtan. As a riverside city located in the south part of China, Xiangtan has been through a long historical period during which some of the most formative moments of Chinese politics and economy happened. As the departure point and the cultural core of the...

Various flood protection measures are studied across the globe, and nature-friendly and environmentally resilient methods are gaining more attention. As part of the building with nature initiative, the project BE SAFE (Bio-Engineering for SAFEty) studies the effects of a vegetated foreshore as a flood protection measure which is found to be very...

Low-lying tropical islands are highly vulnerable to the effects of sea-level rise and climate change. Most pressing is the threat posed to their fresh water supplies by wave-induced flooding. This thesis attempts to generalize previous site-specific studies of flooding on coral atolls and apply it in a framework that can be used for early...

The Belgian Meuse is a river with a relatively low flood risk. The floodplains are narrow, and the estimated impact is not large until the flood reaches a magnitude of a once in a 200 years event. Flooding along the Belgian Meuse could however have an effect on the flood safety in the Netherlands, since there the flood defences are dimensioned...

Conventional computer programs based on radiation-diffraction theory are not able to predict the motions of a semi-submersible crane vessel in case the pontoons are only slightly submerged. Cause of the erroneous results are non-linearities like breaking waves on top of the pontoons and emergence of the pontoons itself. Objective of this thesis...

In the winter of 2013-2014 the south of the UK (London, Oxford) experienced the heaviest rainfall since 1767. Evidence linking these kind of flood events to climate change has put pressure on the UK flood insurance system that is incapable of properly dealing with this kind of flood events. A proposed re-insurance system, FloodRe, is suggested...

During Sandy, three of the biggest hospitals in Manhattan had to evacuate their patients in emergency under the condition of the power outage. Staffs delivered more than four hundreds patients by labor through the staircases from more than twenty stories while ambulances were waiting under the rain to evacuate patients to other safer hospitals....

Simulations carried out for low salinity water flooding often do not include geochemical processes. Salt concentration, and thus the salinity, is modelled as a water tracer that does not react with the reservoir formation. The goal of this MSc thesis is to improve the understanding of the influence of geochemical processes on the mixing of...

Since 2008, for the first time in history, more than 50% of the world’s population lives in cities. This development can be seen in the Mekong delta in Southern Vietnam, one of the world’s most threatened delta areas related to climate change. This area is experiencing a quick process of urbanisation and economic growth. Meanwhile, large areas...

The flood of the Koshi River in 2008 is the motive to execute this study. This flood is described as one of enormous proportions, a disaster which severely influenced the life of hundred thousands of people in Nepal and millions of people in India. This study investigates the natural aggradation of the river system and the influence of the...

Coastal zones are highly vulnerable to climate change and its variability. Future projections of global climate change suggest that relative sea-level rise and increased storm frequencies could lead to significant increases in coastal flooding and shoreline erosion. Associated with this, it is likely that coastal hazards can have the potential...

Na het hoge water in de Maas in 1993 en 1995 is projectorganisatie De Maaswerken opgericht. Deze heeft onder meer als doel gesteld om de bewoonde gebieden langs de onbedijkte Maas te beschermen tegen hoogwater tot een niveau dat gemiddeld 1/250 keer per jaar optreedt. Een van de geplande maatregelen om dit doel te bereiken is de aanleg van...

Nowadays flooding because of a dike breach can be simulated with high accuracy by use of computer models. Delft FLS, which stands for DELFT Flooding System, developed by WL - Delft Hydraulics, is such a model. The hydrodynamic processes occurring during a flooding are complex, for example moving hydraulic jumps and propagating bores. The...

Van oudsher heeft Nederland te maken met rivieroverstromingen. Door de eeuwen heen werd er voortdurend strijd tegen het water gevoerd. Bedijkingen moesten de bedreiging van overstromingen beheersbaar maken met als gevolg dat sedimentatie en dus ophoging van het land nu plaats vindt in het winterbed van de rivieren. De rivieren komen hierdoor...
