Limiting land subsidence of an island polder with a clay - peat subsurface: How can land subsidence be limited in a clay - peat polder through the implementation of water management practices in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve (ground)water quality and stimulate biodiversity?

For hundreds of years, ditch water levels in Dutch agricultural peatlands have been lowered to increase the loading capacity of farming parcels. This lowering results in groundwater levels in the middle of the parcels that fall a few decimeters under the ditch levels. When the groundwater level in a peat soil is lowered, newly uncovered peat is...

Collaborative Modelling in Water Resources Management: Two approaches from the Netherlands

Water Resources Management (WRM) problems are now recognised for their complexity. Approaches for dealing with these problems must integrate a variety of interests, perspectives, values and knowledge into their potential solutions. They must also confront and manage problem uncertainties. The involvement of stakeholders in these approaches is...

Grondwatereffecten aan de oppervlakte (gebracht): Onderzoek naar effecten van stopzetting grondwaterontrekking DSM Delft - Technisch rapport

Deze rapportage bevat de beschrijving van de afzonderlijke modellen en is om die reden opgebouwd uit 5 delen. Deel I beschrijft de totstandkoming van de geo(hydro)logie van de ondergrond. Daarbij wordt onderscheid gemaakt tussen Pleistoceen en Holoceen waarbij het Holoceen zowel regionaal als ook in meer detail lokaal is gemodelleerd. Het...
