Develop and apply a methodology for determining the amount of groundwater that can be extracted in a sustainable way (quota) from a groundwater body Ghent University
The task is to develop a method that can be deduced how much groundwater in a sustainable manner can be extracted (quota) of a body, or part of it, so that the objectives of the WFD (Water Framework Directive) are met. The Scheldt river basin management and Maas (public inquiry) report in their action programs that the various bodies (which are in poor quantitative status) groundwater quotas will be determined. However, a method for the ...

Numerical study and experimental validation of a 2D model for a coupled modelling of river ecosystems using the STRIVE package Ghent University
Macrophytes have an important influence on water flow, sedimentation processes and nutrient dynamics in lowland rivers. Besides a temporal variation in vegetation throuhout the year a strong spatial heterogeneity occurs. To study the cascade- and feedbackeffects in the riverecosystem there is a need for integrated modelling in which the different processinteractions are incorporated. The aim of the PhD research is to develop a 2D hydraulic ...

Forming experts should be able to answer questions like "what is a bottom" and "how the soil was formed and how it will evolve under the circumstances" from positions of responsibility, "which factors and characteristics determine the suitability of the soil for both agricultural and non-agricultural uses and how does it fixedly, "" how to improve the soil for specific applications "," how can degradation and desertification issues to be ...
