(author)This research underlines the need to improve water management policies for areas linked to confined karstic aquifers subjected to intensive exploitation, and to develop additional efforts towards monitoring their subsidence evolution. We analyze subsidence related to intensive use of groundwater in a confined karstic aquifer, through the use of...article 2018

(author)In the European TOPSOIL project, countries around the North Sea are searching for solutions for climate related threats. They explore the possibilities of using the topsoil layer to solve current and future water challenges. The main objective is to improve the climate resilience of the water management of the topsoil and shallow aquifers in the...conference paper 2018

(author)This study uses the InSAR technique to analyse ground subsidence due to intensive exploitation of an aquifer for agricultural and urban purposes in the Montellano town (SW Spain). The detailed deformation maps clearly show that the spatial and temporal extent of subsidence is controlled by piezometric level fluctuations and the thickness of...article 2016

(author)Water scarcity is a serious environmental problem in many European regions, and will likely increase in the near future as a consequence of increased abstraction and climate change. Water scarcity exacerbates the effects of multiple stressors, and thus results in decreased water quality. It impacts river ecosystems, threatens the services they...article 2015

van Meerkerk, I. (author), Edelenbos, J. (author), Klijn, E.H. (author)The relationship between network management, network performances, and democratic legitimacy is a highly debated issue. In this article, we explore this relationship theoretically. Building on the literature, we expect to find that democratic throughput legitimacy has a partly mediating role in the relationship between connective network...other 2012

Vinke-de Kruijf, J. (author), Hommes, S. (author), Bouma, G. (author)It is widely recognized that integrated approaches are required to manage our limited water resources in an effective and sustainable manner. In the Netherlands, this is mostly realized by organizing integrated spatial development processes. This paper presents a discussion in which the distribution of freshwater is integrated with spatial...article 2010

Hommes, S. (author), Vinke-de Kruijf, J. (author), Otter, H.S. (author), Bouma, G. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Water resources management issues tend to affect a variety of uses and users. Therefore, they often exhibit complex and unstructured problems. The complex, unstructured nature of these problems originates from uncertain knowledge and from the existence of divergent perceptions among various actors. Consequently, dealing with these problems is...article 2009

(author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Dutch water policy aims for more frequent, controlled flooding of river valley floodplains to avoid unwanted flooding elsewhere; in anticipation of increased flooding risks resulting from climate changes. Controlled flooding usually takes place in winter in parts of the valleys which had not been subject to flooding in the last decades. It may...article 2008

(author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)A negotiation support system (NSS) was developed to solve groundwater conflicts that arose during land-use management. It was set up in cooperation with the stakeholders involved to provide information on the impact of land use, e.g., agriculture, nature (forested areas), recreation, and urban areas, on the quality of both infiltrating and...article 2008

Rosmuller, N. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)In the Netherlands, the Betuweline is a dedicated freight railway. It will, among other things, be used for transportation of all kinds of hazardous materials from the Port of Rotterdam to the German Hinterland and vice versa. The line is approximately 150km long. Alongside the line, over more than 100 km noise shields are apparent. The question...article 2008

Coastal and river plains are the surfaces of depositional systems, to which sediment input is a parameter of key-importance. Their habitation and economic development usually requires protection with dikes, quays, etc., which are effective in retaining floods but have the side effect of impeding sedimentation in their...article 2007

van Geer, F. (author), Marsman, A. (author), Janssen, G.M.C.M. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Usually the design of the monitoring system is based on the relation between the monitoring effort and the uncertainty of the information. Often the estimation error standard deviation is used as a criterion for the design. Despite the fact that, for scientists, the standard deviation as a measure of uncertainty is a logical criterion, water...conference paper 2007

Griffioen, J. (author), Vermooten, S. (author), Kukuric, N. (author), Vasak, S. (author)To deal with water stress, there is a need to compare the water management issues of hydrological regions in order to inter-compare them and transfer knowledge from one area to another. An approach is presented using case-based reasoning (CBR) to inter-compare European drainage sub-basins. The CBR uses indicators for the natural hydrological...conference paper 2006
