Water pollution by arsenic (As) is a problem in many areas of the world for both ecology and humans. To remove arsenic from surface water an environmental-friendly method called phytoremediation could be used. This method includes the usage of plants to accumulate toxins from any environmental soil, …

Fraeylemaborg is a noble house in an earthquake-stricken area of the Netherlands due to the induced seismicity events in the region. The structure is located in the middle of the town of Slochteren which gave its name to the largest gas field in the world upon its discovery in 1959. The gas extraction …

Urbanisation and climate change have an effect on the water balance in our cities resulting in challenges as flooding, droughts and heatstress. Implementation of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) can help to restore the water balance in cities by storing and infiltrating stormwater into the subsurface …

The Resilient Delta research group has been researching in infrastructures stability under a case study of ‘flooding of the territory of the Reimerswaal municipality.' For this, this research is carried out by the research group to check the effect of the flood on the railway. This research had aimed …

There are a lot of problems associated with clayey soil. More geotechnical pathologies appeared as more developed project brighten up. The geotechnical engineers encounter problems with modelling the stiff clayey soil behaviour especially while using the classical methods for obtaining the input parameters …

There is an urgency for developing methods that are capable of monitoring water systems that are fast changing due to climate change and increase of anthropogenic pressure. Updated and real-time detailed data is necessary to support water and soil management strategies. This study evaluates the implementations …

City growth threatens sustainable development of cities. Over the past decades increased urbanization has created more pressure - not only on the suburban outskirts - but also in the inner core of the cities, putting important environmental issues such as water management and cultural heritage under …

Permeable pavements are a type of SUDS that are becoming more common to allow infiltration, to minimize runoff volumes and to treat urban water stormwater by soil filtration. However, urban stormwater runoff contains significant concentrations of suspended sediments that can cause clogging and reduce …
