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 …

Native European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) reefs have strongly declined in the Dutch Delta, motivating restoration efforts that use engineered substrates to support settlement and early reef development. In Lake Veere, Project Asta tests the Mother Reef concept: biodegradable clay blocks that are conditioned …

Biodiversity and water quality analysis was performed in the Bulurancang and Curah Tangkil springs present in mount Arjuno-Welirang. These values were correlated via the Pearson method. It was found that Bulurancang consistently showed higher species richness, diversity indices, and taxa in comparison …

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 …

Diatoms are essential in the aquatic ecosystem, especially in estuary systems like the Scheldt Estuary, in which centric diatoms are the dominant phytoplankton and serve as an important food resource for upper trophic levels. The understanding of the population dynamics is therefore an essential element …

The restoration of native flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) reefs in Lake Veere is a key ecological goal of the Oyster Heaven project. However, successful reef development may be hindered by predation. The European green crab *(Carcinus maenas),* a known bivalve predator in Lake Veere. This study investigated …

Oyster reefs were once abundant in European waters, but they are now rare. In Zeeland, the wild population of the native flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) has declined significantly in recent decades, with serious implications for coastal water health in relation to biodiversity and water quality (Colsoul …

Dit adviesrapport is geschreven in opdracht van de Gemeente Gemert-Bakel, het probleem is dat hier twee straten zijn die onder water komen te staan na een klimaatbui. Dit is recent, op 19 mei 2019, nog voor gekomen. De Komstraat en de Molenstraat liepen toen onder water waardoor er verschillende problemen …

Deze studie had als doel om de knelpunten en oplossingen te inventariseren voor de migratie van drie gidssoorten vanuit de Oosterschelde via de Krammersluizen naar het Krammer-Volkerak. In dit systeem bevinden zich verschillende fysieke en abiotische knelpunten die de glasaal, driedoornige stekelbaars …

In deze studie is onderzocht welke prooien deel uit maken van het dieet van kustbewonende otters (Lutra lutra) in Roaringwater Bay, Ierland. De otter is een zoogdier dat behoort tot de familie Marterachtigen (Mustelidae) en leeft zowel op land als in het water. Ze kunnen met hun rol als toppredator inzicht …
