Bogerd, Linda (author), Pinto, Rose B. (author), Leijnse, Hidde (author), Meirink, Jan Fokke (author), van Emmerik, Tim H.M. (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author)Accurate precipitation observations are crucial for hydrological forecasts, notably over rapidly responding urban areas. This study evaluated the accuracy of three gridded spaceborne rainfall products (Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG), Meteosat Second Generation Visible (MSG-VIS), and MSG-Infrared (MSG-IR)) and the non...journal article 2023

Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), de Moel, H. (author), Moll, J.R. (author), Slager, K. (author)The heavy precipitation along with the river floods of July 2021 was an extreme and exceptional event in several countries in North-western Europe. It had major societal impacts in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and Germany and was one of the most disastrous flood events in Europe of the last decades.journal article 2023

van Veggel, Britt (author)Access to healthcare is a requirement for human well-being that is partly dependent upon safe infrastructure. One of the UN Sustainable Development Goals regarding healthcare is to achieve universal healthcare coverage, which includes access to qual- ity essential health-care services. In many developing nations, roads are often vulner- able to...master thesis 2022

Pappa, Athina (author)The aim of this thesis was to investigate the evolution of Ilissos and Kifissos river basins in Athens, Greece and the ways this evolution was influenced by specific human factors. The dynamics of the human-water interactions have been studied in the frame of sociohydrology and the central key was to study the impact society had on the...master thesis 2021

Seminario Thulin, Andres (author)Urban flooding is a problem faced by many mayor cities around the world nowadays. That is the case of several areas of the Greater Miami Area. Rapid urbanization and the depletion of natural buffer zones that used to storage rain water, added to climate change effects, specifically the increase of heavy rainfalls and sea level rise have only...master thesis 2019

Frouws, Eveline (author), Frölke, Reinier (author), Maarse, Nadieh (author), van den Heuvel, Oscar (author), Meijer, Berend (author)Vietnam is one of the five countries that is severely affected by the consequences of climate change. The extreme weather conditions and the increase of the sea level results in floods in the Mekong Delta, located in the South of Vietnam. Can Tho city, found in the heart of the Mekong Delta, is one of the cities that copes with water related...student report 2019

Lendering, K.T. (author), Sebastian, Antonia (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Floods are the costliest and deadliest weather-related disaster globally. With higher population density in flood prone areas, increased urban development, and projected climate impacts, the frequency and severity of flooding in Europe is predicted to rise. While permanent flood defences have been shown to be more economically effective and...abstract 2017

Zlatanova, S. (author), Ghawana, T. (author), Kaur, A. (author), Neuvel, J.M.M. (author)Spatial Information is an integral part of flood management practices which include risk management & emergency response processes. Although risk & emergency management activities have their own characteristics, for example, related to the time scales, time pressure, activities & actors involved, it is still possible to identify at least one...conference paper 2014

Mukolwe, M.M. (author), Di Baldassarre, G. (author), Werner, M. (author), Solomatine, D.P. (author)This paper presents an analysis of uncertainty in hydraulic modelling of floods, focusing on the inaccuracy caused by inflow errors and parameter uncertainty. In particular, the study develops a method to propagate the uncertainty induced by, firstly, application of a stage–discharge rating curve and, secondly, parameterisation of a...journal article 2014

(author)This article assesses the risk to life for the Natomas Basin, a low-lying, rapidly urbanizing region in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in California. Using an empirical method, the loss of life is determined for a flood (high water), seismic, and sunny-day levee breach scenario. The analysis indicated that more than 1000 fatalities may occur...journal article 2012

Villada Arroyave, J.A. (author), Crosato, A. (author)The current river management policy in the Netherlands is to give rivers more space, mainly by main channel widening and floodplain lowering. The aim is to reduce flood water levels and to create more favourable conditions for river ecology. However, the effect on water levels gradually disappears due to sedimentation and vegetation growth on...journal article 2010

Van Baars, S. (author), Van Kempen, I.M. (author)In a historical perspective, flood protection in the past was not given high priority - plague and periods of famine and war took precedence. Poverty and a lack of knowledge made it difficult to create safer dikes. Dike engineering did improve in Napoleonic era due to the French Central Government, but many dikes still failed. A historical...journal article 2009

Peñailillo Burgos, R. (author), Passier, H. (author), Bakker, I. (author), Delsman, J. (author), Van Vliet, M. (author)Sediments play an important role in water resources management. In the past, hazardous contaminants from municipal and industrial wastewater effluents and from agriculture were discharged in large quantities into the water bodies and accumulated within the bottom sediments. Today, relatively unpolluted recent sediment surface layers cover older...report 2007

Van der Ent, R. (author), De Brauw, H. (author), Nelissen, J. (author), Van den Berg van Saparoea, F. (author)Introduction In May 2006 many rivers and creeks in the interior of Suriname caused flooding and a lot of inhabitants were surprised by the water. Over 22,000 people were struck in a way that their houses were (temporarily) uninhabitable. In the most places the duration of the flooding was limited to three to six days, after that the waterlevel...report 2007
