Though the problem of water risks is growing and becoming more evident, there is a lack of structured information about how these risks are managed through the certification process. While there are certain credits dedicated to managing water risks and implementing measures in regard to them in the …

Before finalizing the design plans for the Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia, requested by IDOM’s client, a flood risk analysis of the site is required. Within this flood risk analysis, the impacts on the SWRO site will be simulated during a rainfall event with a return period …

Hard coastal defences along the Dutch–Belgian North Sea coast are nearing the end of their design life and carry significant ecological costs. Salt marsh Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) provide a self-sustaining alternative. However, existing asset-management (AM) standards continue to view them as "nice-to-have" …

Image it is 2100 and half of the Netherlands has flooded. How will such a disaster influence how we see ourselves and our society and result in new design principles for the much-needed new cities? By combining several sources (e.g. the WUR and PBL future scenario's) and based on his view on the newly …

The report revolves around what criteria need to be considered when owning and managing a vineyard. It focuses on what essential elements contribute to the success of the vineyard in the Bordeaux region, amidst climate change and turbulent marketing dynamics.

Drought, caused by climate change, poses a significant threat to the production of barley. To ensure high yields, drought adaptation in barley is critical. Roots are primarily responsible for water uptake, and during drought, when water levels are low, deep rooting traits are crucial for developing drought-tolerant …

Dit onderzoek wordt uitgevoerd in opdracht van startup The Leaf. De hoofdvraag van dit onderzoek is: ‘Op welke manier kan een klimaatadaptief project zoals 'The Leaf' bewoners en bezoekers aan stadspleinen in het centrum van Groningen aanmoedigen tot het uitvoeren van klimaatadaptief gedrag in hun eigen …

In recent years, Somalia has experienced recurrences of droughts, which are exacerbated by two reasons. First, most parts of the country are naturally arid and semi-arid lands, which experience frequent droughts. Second, climate change has contributed to increased incidences of prolonged droughts, whose …

Anthropogenic climate change will worsen the environmental problems in European cities. With the main ones being floods, water scarcity and biodiversity decline. Furthermore, Europe’s climate will shift from its current temperate climate to a sub-tropic climate. One way to combat these problems is with …
