Kranenburg, W.M. (author), Tiessen, Meinard (author), Blaas, Meinte (author), Van Veen, Nathalie (author)Around the world, estuaries have been partially or completely closed-off from the sea and their number may increase with rising sea levels. Concurrently, there is a trend to reintroduce seawater inflow into enclosed former estuaries for ecosystem improvement. This is also the case in the Haringvliet, a former estuary in the Rhine-Meuse Delta,...journal article 2023

Iglesias, Sebastian (author)Nature-based initiatives have emerged as potential solutions to problems caused by saltwater intrusion in deltas found globally, but their successful implementation is enabled partly by a multi-stakeholder approach. The latter involves managing several parallel stakeholder objectives, which usually requires quantitative knowledge to understand...master thesis 2022

De Fockert, Anton (author), O'Mahoney, Tom S.D. (author), Nogueira, Helena I.S. (author), Oldenziel, G. (author), Bijlsma, Arnout C. (author), Janssen, Hans (author)Salt water intrusion through the New Sea Lock of IJmuiden, Netherlands requires mitigation to ensure availability of enough fresh water further inland. For this purpose, a salt screen has been proposed for selective withdrawal of salt water from the Noordzeekanaal in the vicinity of the lock complex. Formulas to assess the withdrawal rate of...journal article 2022

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Kranenburg, W.M. (author)Tidally averaged transport of salt in estuaries is controlled by various subtidal and tidal processes. In this study, we show the relative importance of various subtidal and tidal transport processes in a width-averaged sense. This is done for a large range of forcing and geometric parameters, which describe well-mixed to salt wedge estuaries...journal article 2022

Payo-Payo, Marta (author), Bricheno, Lucy M. (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Cheng, Weicong (author), Gong, Wenping (author), Amoudry, Laurent O. (author)Salt intrusion in surface waters endangers freshwater availability, influences water quality, and affects estuarine ecosystem services with high economic and social values. Salt transport and the resulting salinity distributions result from the non-linear interactions between salt and water dynamics. Estuaries are often considered under ...journal article 2022

Zhou, Z. (author)Estuaries are partially enclosed water bodies where river water mixes with sea water. Estuaries provide important ecological functions which are strongly regulated by estuarine hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics, and also by human interventions. Sustainable management of such systems therefore requires a thorough understanding of the interplay...doctoral thesis 2021

Blom, Jelle (author)Two current assumptions of the Zeesluisformulering (ZSF) regarding a homogeneous lock density and instantaneous shipping are tested against refined descriptions according to literature: a stratified lock density and shipping according the continuity approach. These are implemented into a conceptual model constructed in Python, after which...master thesis 2021

ten Harmsen van der Beek, Noor (author)Salt intrusion poses a threat to the fresh water supply function of inland waterways. How far inland salt intrusion reaches is dependent on a balance of buoyancy forcing, water depth, discharge of the canal and the amount of mixing. Wind, bottom roughness, and sailing ships contribute to mixing. Currently, little is known about the contribution...master thesis 2021

Binsma, Jouke (author)Key points:- Pre-closure salinity intrusion into Haringvliet-Hollands Diep is known to have reached Biesbosch National Park at flood tide. Post-Delta21 salinity intrusion is projected to be less extensive than pre-closure. Maximum intrusion is estimated to reach the westernmost Moerdijk ports mainly due to diminished tidal...master thesis 2021

van der Scheer, Bor (author)Due to climate change, temperatures are rising worldwide resulting in sea level rise, higher evaporation and possible changes in precipitation patterns. These effects of climate change influence salt intrusion, particularly by affecting the freshwater supply. In The Gambia also a planned hydropower dam and possibly future irrigation development...master thesis 2021

Wegman, Tess (author)Due to climate change and human interventions, saltwater intrusion is becoming a topic of increasing concern worldwide. Salt water intrudes into the Rotterdam Waterway (RWW) by an exchange flow, where the denser sea water propagates landwards at the bottom. The main competing mechanism for this stratified exchange flow is...master thesis 2021

Zhu, C. (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Lin, J. (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)An estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) is a region of elevated suspended sediment concentration (SSC) resulting from residual transport mechanisms driven by river flow, tides, and salinity-induced density gradients (SalDG). However, in energetic and highly turbid environments such as the Yangtze Estuary, SedDG may also substantially contribute...journal article 2021

Feng, Kesong (author)Salt intrusion through sea locks causes the mixing of fresh and salt water due to a gravity current. This process may occur gradually over tens of kilometers and affects the required quality of the inland water. A bubble screen alongside the locks is one of the available mitigating measures for this undesired phenomenon. However, current...master thesis 2019

Wei, X. (author), Kumar, M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)To investigate the dominant sediment transport and trapping mechanisms, a semi-analytical three-dimensional model is developed resolving the dynamic effects of salt intrusion on sediment in well-mixed estuaries in morphodynamic equilibrium. As a study case, a schematized estuary with a converging width and a channel-shoal structure...journal article 2018

Daniëls, J. (author)An estuary forms the transition between the ocean/sea and a river. Within its boundaries salt and fresh water mix. Fresh water intake points may be located within the reach of salt intrusion. In order to justify political and managerial decisions it is thus necessary to understand and be able to predict the process of salt intrusion in estuaries...master thesis 2016

Peters, T. (author), Jongerius, Y.R. (author), Franken, J.T. (author), Ponsioen, L.A. (author), Tieleman, O.C. (author)The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon system, lying in the Thua Thien-Hue province in central Vietnam, is affected by a tropical monsoon climate. This among others is the reason the Cau Hai Lagoon area has a long history of floods and other water related problems. Inhabitants are very dependent on the lagoon, as the main sources of income of people...student report 2015

Gisen, J.I.A. (author)Estuaries have been used for settlement by humans since 5000-9000 years ago [Day et al., 2012]. The calm environment and nutrient-rich soil encouraged the development of ports and agriculture. Over-development however has put estuaries in unhealthy condition, where the water is polluted (excessive nutrient or salt intrusion problem) and natural...doctoral thesis 2015

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author)The intrusion of sea water into estuaries creates a complex flow that results from the density difference between fresh river run-off and salty sea water. In combination with other processes, such as tides, these complex flows are of interest because they affect the transport of e.g. salt, sediments and nutrients in water, which determine the...master thesis 2014

Hong, S.T. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)In the Mekong Delta Vietnam, the construction of sluices with the purpose of retaining fresh water and preventing salt water intrusion potentially plays a very important role. However, the structures constructed in small rivers according to local or traditional technology revealed many disadvantages related to the economical, evacuation and...conference paper 2013

Nijzink, R.C. (author)Dispersion is often hard to incorporate in analytical salt intrusion models. The analytical models of Savenije (1986) and Kuijper & Van Rijn (2011) are quite similar and use a predictive equation for the dispersion in the estuary mouth. The biggest difference between the two models is the Van der Burgh K for which Kuijper and Van Rijn stated...master thesis 2013
