Aydin, B.E. (author), Oude Essink, Gualbert H.P. (author), Delsman, Joost R. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), Abraham, E. (author)A significant increase in surface water salinization in low-lying deltas is expected globally due to saline groundwater exfiltration driven by rising sea levels and decreasing freshwater availability. Sustaining fresh water-dependent agriculture in such areas will entail an increased demand for fresh water flushing. Unfortunately, the...journal article 2022

van den Berg, L. (author), Pronk, M. (author), van Loosdrecht, Mark C.M. (author), de Kreuk, M.K. (author)Granular sludge processes are frequently used in domestic and industrial wastewater treatment. The granule buoyant density and biomass density are important parameters for the design and operation of granular sludge reactors.

Tedeschi, Anna (author), Cerrato, Domenico (author), Menenti, M. (author)There is a new and growing interest in using hemp as a raw material for a wide portfolio of food and non-food products. This study provides a synthesis of such information on the basis of literature and experimental data. For comparison, similar information on maize is provided. To document multiple uses of both crops, a list of products was...journal article 2022

(author), Tran, Duc Dung (author), Ho, Loc Huu (author), Do, Quang Hung (author), Luu, Tang (author), Gorman, Timothy (author), Hermans, L.M. (author)The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is an example of a complex dynamic socio-hydrological system in which societies and hydrology interact and co-evolve. The dominant engineering approach in the VMD has enhanced the dynamics of society and hydrology. This study looks at the implications of socio-hydrological dynamics in the coastal VMD where...journal article 2022

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)The classification diagram developed by Hansen and Rattray is one of the classic papers on classification of estuarine salinity dynamics. However, we found several inconsistencies in both their stratification–circulation and estuarine classification diagrams. These findings considerably change the interpretation of their work. Furthermore, while...journal article 2021

Muñoz Sierra, Julian (author), Oosterkamp, M.J. (author), Spanjers, H. (author), van Lier, J.B. (author)High salinity is becoming more common in industrial process water and final effluents, particularly when striving to close water loops. There is limited knowledge on the anaerobic treatment of chemical wastewaters characterized by distinct salinity fluctuations. This study investigates the high and fluctuating salinity effects on the...journal article 2021

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)The salinity structure in estuaries is classically described in terms of the salinity structure as well mixed, partially mixed, or salt wedge. The existing knowledge about the processes that result in such salinity structures comes from highly idealized models that are restricted to either well-mixed and partially mixed cases or subtidal salt...journal article 2021

Oh, Yoontaek (author), Han, Ji Hyung (author), Kim, Hanki (author), Jeong, Namjo (author), Vermaas, D.A. (author), Park, Jin Soo (author), Chae, Soryong (author)Irreversible faradic reactions in reverse electrodialysis (RED) are an emerging concern for scale-up, reducing the overall performance of RED and producing environmentally harmful chemical species. Capacitive RED (CRED) has the potential to generate electricity without the necessity of irreversible faradic reactions. However, there is a...journal article 2021

Musa, Tagwa A. (author), Ibrahim, Ahmed F. (author), Nasr-El-Din, Hisham A. (author), Hassan, A.M. (author)Chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes are usually used as additives for hydrocarbon production due to its simplicity and relatively reasonable additional production costs. Polymer flooding uses polymer solutions to increase oil recovery by decreasing the water/oil mobility ratio by increasing the viscosity of the displacing water....journal article 2021

Lyu, X. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author), Rossen, W.R. (author)CO<sub>2</sub>-foam injection is a promising technology for reducing gas mobility and increasing trapping within the swept region in deep brine aquifers. In this work, a consistent thermodynamic model based on a combination of the Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR EOS) for gas components with an activity model for the aqueous phase is...journal article 2021

Zhou, Z. (author), Ge, Jianzhong (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), Kuai, Y. (author), Ding, Pingxing (author)Lateral flows redistribute sediment and influence the morphodynamics of channel-shoal systems. However, our understanding of lateral transport of suspended sediment during high and low water slack is still fairly limited, especially in engineered estuaries. Human interventions such as dike-groyne structures influence lateral exchange...journal article 2021

Knoester, Ferdi (author)Estuaries are dynamic partially enclosed water bodies that are constantly or periodically influenced by the ocean and at least occasionally impacted by river discharge. This creates unique but fragile ecosystems that have to be managed with care in order to be recreationally, economically and ecologically valuable. One of the management issues...master thesis 2020

Aydin, B.E. (author)POLDERS are low-lying and artificially drained areas surrounded bywater storage canals. In low-lying delta areas such as theMississippi delta in Louisiana (USA), the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta (Bangladesh), or the Rhine-Meuse delta (The Netherlands), polders experience surface water salinization problem due to saline groundwater exfiltration,...doctoral thesis 2020

Bakker, Floor (author)To exploit its socio-economic functions, engineering measures are regularly applied in estuaries. Estuaries are, however, known to be very complex systems. Stemming from this complexity is the generation of a so-called estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), which poses great siltation problems to the engineering measures. An engineering measure,...master thesis 2020

Machado Lima de Camargo, C. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), Hermans, T.H.J. (author), Slangen, Aimée B.A. (author)Recent studies disagree about the contribution of variations in temperature and salinity of the oceans—steric change—to the observed sea-level change. This article explores two sources of uncertainty to both global mean and regional steric sea-level trends. First, we analyze the influence of different temperature and salinity data sets on the...journal article 2020
