Ratering Arntz, A.M. (author)Afgelopen zomer zorgde hevige regenval voor grote overstromingen in de wijk Asparuhovo. Deze wijk ligt aan de heuvelachtige zuidkant van de kuststad Varna in Bulgarije. Na twee dagen van aanhoudende neerslag kwam er op 19 juni plots een grote modderstroom door de wijk heen zetten. Het gevallen regenwater behoort te worden afgevoerd van het hoger...bachelor thesis 2015

Scheeper, Tom (author)According to the European Environment Agency (2016, pp. 137–140) annual mean river flow and the frequency of fluvial floods will have increased by 20% before the year 2100, in North-western Europe. It had been postulated in media in reports (De Ingenieur, 2014; „MIRT-verkenning Grevelingen”, 2012; Slootjes et al., 2010; Slootjes, 2013; Lammers,...bachelor thesis 2020

Frima, C.S.H. (author)SimBethel Educational is a board game about the flood safety of Bethel Island, California. To check if the game meets the requirements of a serious game a simulator is created with which the game developer can simulate SimBethel Educational and investigate how the game really works without playing the game a thousand times. It is explained how...bachelor thesis 2013

Verschuur, J. (author)River floods are considered one of the most important natural disasters and causes huge damages every year, both in economic consequences and fatalities. Out of historical perspectives, human settlements are located in fertile and economic attractive delta regions. Deltas tend to be constantly changing nodes of economic and urban growth leading...bachelor thesis 2016

Wiersma, Guus (author)In this research, the flood damage caused by heavy rain and plastic blockage in the neighbourhood of Atonsu, Kumasi is quantified. Rapid urbanisation and poor waste management result in floods with an increasing impact in Kumasi, the fastest growing city of Ghana. This rapid growth of the city results in uncontrolled urbanisation of the...bachelor thesis 2020

Van der Krogt, M.G. (author)Volgens het rapport van de nieuwe Deltacommmissie onder leiding van oud minister Veerman zal de zeespiegel de komende honderd jaar met 0,65 tot 1,30 meter stijgen. Om de regio Rijnmond ook in de toekomst te beschermen tegen hoge waterstanden zal de Maeslantkering tot wel 30 keer per jaar moeten sluiten. Dit is ongewenst voor de Rotterdamse Haven...bachelor thesis 2012

Suijkens, Sven (author)The global economical losses caused by flooding have increased over the last 50 years (IPCC, 2014; UNISDR, 2013). Deltares and HKV are developing new methods to quantify flood risk on a global scale. A Flood Risk Assessment Tool (FIAT) is used to performcalculations. The definition of risk is hazard x exposure x vulnerability. FIAT is able to...bachelor thesis 2015

Broy, Frank (author)DDoS attacks are becoming more common and sophisticated. Only recently, in 2017, Google claims they have mitigated an attack which sent 2.54 Tbps of traffic to their servers. In order to prevent these attacks, more and more robust defence mechanisms need to be put in place to withstand the malicious traffic and secure the networks. Programmable...bachelor thesis 2022

Franx, Marius (author)The ramifications of plastic pollution on the environment are becoming increasingly serious in various forms throughout the world. In this context, rivers are the most important suppliers of plastics entering the marine environment. However, rivers that contain high loads of plastic waste also directly harm the livelihoods of people living near...master thesis 2022

Kingma, Vera (author)Human interventions in the White Volta River in Ghana increase the flood risk in living spaces of the local communities, causing great challenges in the area. Burkina Faso has built a hydropower dam near the border with Ghana which has a large impact on the discharge extremes of the White Volta River. As a result of poor water management of this...master thesis 2021

De Bruin, W.J. (author)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...master thesis 2012

Van Osselen, K.R. (author)Dutch flood protections are assessed every five to six years in a nationwide safety assessment round. During the last assessment round large dike stretches in the Dutch Wadden Sea could not meet the safety requirements, and were assessed with failure. Dike strengthening is therefore needed in these areas. However, in front of these dike salt...master thesis 2016

Huang, J. (author)The design assignment is to design a water institute to use Amsterdam, an international port where talented scholars could gather, to deal with water related issues, especially ones happen in Ijsselmeer. The Water Institute is an educational facility which focus on the sustainable use and management of water resources to support health and...master thesis 2016

Vos, T.G. (author)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...master thesis 2015

Bos, M. (author)In dit afstudeerproject wordt met behulp van een fysisch model onderzoek gedaan naar de uitwisselingsprocessen die bij hoogwater optreden tussen uiterwaard en hoofdgeul van een rivier. Dit afstudeerproject geeft daarmee een vervolg aan het door Van Prooijen [19] opgezette onderzoek naar grootschalige horizontale wervels in ondiepe...master thesis 2000

van Haaren, Bas (author)Rapid urbanization has altered the natural hydrological cycle of the Tub Ma catchment, inducing major floods after heavy rainfall events. For that reason, structural mitigation measures were built, including floodwalls along the channel and a pumping station at the outlet. However, no operational rules were available for operating the river...master thesis 2020

Rijnink, Alexandra (author)A dam including a tidal power station with pumping capacity is a new type of flood defence. The negative ecological impact normally associated with closure dams is partially mitigated by including a tidal power station in the structure. Water can move through the tidal power station resulting in a reduced tidal stroke at the created lake. This...master thesis 2020

Rooze, Daan (author)The purpose of this thesis is to conduct research on increasing flood resilience and, albeit to a lesser extent, drought resilience of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America. Focusing on the Orleans Lakeside sub-basin, this project builds on previous work through a joint design-engineering approach. This project seeks to address two...master thesis 2020

Konings, V. (author)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...master thesis 2012

Miteva, Iliyana (author)Presently, the urban and natural systems in the world are trying to balance between coping with the extreme climate conditions and the expanding development. The urgency of accommodating these changes calls for flexible and adaptive response, which can sustain the risks and enhance the performance of the systems.
