Macrophytes and nutrient dynamics: process and field studies in the upper reaches of river basins - Manudyn II. (second phase) University of Antwerp
Development of a GIS based management model for crop protection means in river basins Ghent University
The research aims to develop a practical tool to evaluate the risk of the application of pesticides on river basin scale. Current knowledge about the application on the subject will be coupled geographically with environmental conditions (climatology, slope, U+2026) to create a practical management tool. Starting from (complex) existing process descriptions, possible simplifications will be investigated and a general methodology for model ...
G-STIC: International climate finance call for proposals 2021: OPTImized approaches to assess and MItigate greenhouse gaS emissions from river basins (OPTIMIS) Ghent University
Development of conceptual models for the preparation of an integrated river basin management (Hydraulic Engineering River Basin Management) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Towards sustainable management of inland waters in Tanzania: Assessing the ecological integrity of river ecosystems in the Upper Pangani River Basin (Tanzania) KU Leuven
River ecosystems encompass river channels and its floodplains and form a diverse mosaic of habitats upon which countless species of animals and plants depend for survival. They provide a plethora of services for humans including a source of clean water for domestic and industrial uses, a source of food, a means of waste disposal, transportation, power production, and sites for the pursuit of leisure activities. Yet, they belong to the most ...
SEDIMENT TRANSPORT MODELLING AT RIVER BASIN SCALE, INTEGRATING SOIL EROS ION AND RIVER MORPHODYNAMICS KU Leuven
Sediment is the largest water “pollutant” by volume in the world, yet the limitations in current modelling processes still makes it impossible to quantity the amount of sediment eroded from land and transported in rivers. Sediment’s detachment, transport and deposition mostly take place within a thin near-bed layer. Therefore it is imperative for modelling processes to establish accurate representation of flow velocity and the rough bottom ...
African river basins: catchment-scale carbon fluxes and transformations (AFRIVAL). KU Leuven
Development of rehabilitation technologies and approaches for multipressured degraded waters and the integration of their impact on river basin management (AQUAREHAB). KU Leuven
Variability of Rainfall and River Flow in the Nile Basin KU Leuven
Rainfall variability engenders changes in the frequency and severity of water-related disasters. In the Nile basin, rainfall-based disasters e.g. landslides, flooding and dry conditions are common. This research aimed at providing a platform for insights on variability of historical rainfall and flow in the River Nile basin. Spatio-temporal variability of both rainfall volumes and extreme events across the study area was analyzed in a ...
