Janssen, D. (author)The dissertation explores the use of emergency measures, particularly the BresDefender, to prevent or delay levee failure and mitigate the impacts of floods, focusing on the Netherlands' flood protection systems. Levees are vital for protecting low-lying areas, but there's always a risk of failure, leading to significant societal and material...doctoral thesis 2024

(author), Lapworth, Dan J. (author), Foppen, J.W.A. (author)Weathered basement aquifers are vital sources of drinking water in Africa. In order to better understand their role in the urban water balance, in a weathered basement aquifer in Kampala, Uganda, this study installed a transect of monitoring piezometers, carried out spring flow and high-frequency groundwater level monitoring, slug tests and...journal article 2022

Li, J. (author), Zhou, Yangxiao (author), Wang, Wenke (author), Liu, S. (author), Li, Ying (author), Wu, Ping (author)The sustainable development of groundwater resources in arid and semi-arid regions is a challenging task hindered by climate change and human activities. The rational utilization and management of groundwater resources is, therefore, dependent on an understanding of the influences of human and climatic factors on the spatial distribution of...journal article 2022

Mohamed, Ahmed (author), Ahmed, Ezzat (author), Alshehri, Fahad (author), Abdelrady, Ahmed (author)The Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS) is made up of three major sub-basins: Kufra, Dakhla, and the N. Sudan Platform. It is one of the world’s largest groundwater systems. The aquifer’s hydrologic setting, connectivity of its sub-basins, and groundwater flow across these sub-basins are currently unclear. To address these issues, we used...journal article 2022

Bouaziz, L.J.E. (author)Contemplating the Meuse or any other river of the world, one may wonder about the journey of rain in becoming river. This fascinates hydrologists, as they develop theories to understand movement, storage and release of water through the landscape across climates. These theories are translated to hydrological models, which describe the complex...doctoral thesis 2021

Verkaik, J. (author), van Engelen, J. (author), Huizer, S. (author), Bierkens, Marc F.P. (author), Lin, H.X. (author), Oude Essink, G.H.P. (author)Fresh groundwater reserves, being of vital importance for more than a billion of people living in the coastal zone, are being threatened by saltwater intrusion due to anthropogenic activities and climate change. High resolution three-dimensional (3D), variable-density (VD), groundwater flow and salt transport (FT) numerical models are...journal article 2021

Koenders, David (author)Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) is an efficient technique to fulfill the heating and cooling demand of buildings. UTES uses stable subsurface temperatures store and extract energy. This study covers two types of UTES systems: aquifer thermal energy systems (ATES) and borehole heat exchangers (BHE). UTES systems in the Netherlands have...master thesis 2020

Van Ballaer, Alexander (author)Geophysical monitoring is a popular tool in aquifer characterization and groundwater flow. To address this objective at groundwater extraction site ‘t Klooster, an ERT dataset was analyzed to identify groundwater flow patterns resulting from the injection of warm oxygenated water. Using a petrophysical model, changes in resistivity were...master thesis 2020

Hunink, Niek (author)The Maurikse Wetering is a tributary of the Line river in the centre of the Netherlands. As the catchment is situated between and in close proximity to the larger Nederrijn and Waal rivers, intercatchment groundwater flow (IGF; groundwater flow crossing topographic divides) might have a significant influence on the water balance of the Maurikse...master thesis 2019

Bloemendal, Martin (author), Olsthoorn, T.N. (author)Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) is a technology with worldwide potential to provide sustainable space heating and cooling using groundwater stored at different temperatures. In areas with high ambient groundwater flow velocity (>25 m/y) thermal energy losses by displacement of groundwater may be prevented by application of multiple...journal article 2018

Asschert, Martijn (author)The industrial site of Vosdonk Noord at Etten-Leur in the Netherlands consists of a large soil contamination in combination with highly heterogenic shallow subsurface soil characteristics. In this report, we study the groundwater flow and solute transport behaviour at this project location. Throughout this process, knowledge is gathered about...master thesis 2017

García Martínez, M.F. (author), Marchi, M. (author), Tonni, L. (author), Gottardi, G. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author), Rosso, A. (author)The reliability of river embankments is essential for flood risk management. The Po River, which flows through the North of Italy, is safeguarded over half of its length by major river embankments. Performance assessment of such water-retaining structures has become a major concern following some significant flood events in the past. Among the...conference paper 2017

van Beek, V.M. (author), Hoffmans, G.J.C.M. (author)The prediction of backward erosion piping is important for safety assessment of dikes in the Netherlands, where subsurface conditions are prone to this erosion mechanism. In the current assessment methodology, the adapted Sellmeijer rule is in use. In combination with the national safety philosophy and uncertainty in input parameters, this model...conference paper 2017

Vandenboer, K. (author), van Beek, V.M. (author), Bezuijen, A. (author)Backward erosion piping is an important failure mechanism for water-retaining structures, a phenomenon that results in the formation of shallow pipes at the interface of a sandy or silty foundation and a cohesive cover layer. Although the pipe depth reveals a lot of information on the backward erosion process, it has never been measured...conference paper 2017

Steeneken, S.P. (author)In this thesis an investigation is performed into the rise of excess pore pressures in front of a slurry tunnel boring machine (TBM) during boring. Accurate prediction of excess pore pressures is particularly important when boring close to foundation piles or when boring with a small overburden. The existence of this phenomenon has been known...master thesis 2016

Taccari, M.L. (author)Animal burrowing can be a main cause of initiation thereby be a cause of breaching of flood defences. However, little guidance and literature is available on this subject. This Master Thesis investigates the contribution of badgers, porcupines and foxes to the failure of the levee of San Matteo (Modena, Italy) on 19th January 2014. Firstly, the...master thesis 2015

Ebbens, O.N. (author)Groundwater is an important natural resource which is used all over the world. For a sustainable groundwater use it is important to know how groundwater systems are affected by human interventions. There are several modelling tools that can be used to analyse the influence of interventions on a groundwater system. Time series analysis is a tool...master thesis 2015

Van Esch, J. (author)This report assesses the consequences of droughts and periods of heavy precipitation for embankments. The proposed assessment procedure couples an agro-meteorological model based on the Penmann-Monteith expression to a groundwater flow model based on Dupuit's approximation. This approach is justified by the fact that the flow process through the...report 2012

Veling, E.J.M. (author)In this article, we describe horizontal groundwater flow due to a uniform flow at infinity around a cylindrical or elliptical inhomogeneity, where the permeability inside the inhomogeneity is anisotropic and different from the isotropic domain outside the inhomogeneity. The orientation of the uniform flow with respect to the orientation of the...journal article 2011
