Rethinking soil and groundwater pollution remediation procedures in Flanders: evaluating field work and site specific parameters for a sustainable soil and water management. KU Leuven
The Flemish Soil Decree provides in a curative and preventive approach to deal with soil and groundwater pollution. A Land Information Register is based on investigations carried out according to Standard Procedures. To decide whether or not remediation is necessary a groundwater model based risk analysis might be used, often built using a simplified representation of the subsurface. Processing the results of such a model based risk ...
Evolution to single and combined effects of pollution and fish predation risk in the water flea Daphnia magna and its gut microbiome in a natural landscape KU Leuven
Integrated conceptual water system modelling for current and future water availability analysis KU Leuven
In order to achieve a sustainable management of our scarce water resources, it is crucial to be able to accurately predict the potential future changes in their behavior. Climate change but also changing land use and increasing urbanization or changes in water demand can put an increasing amount of stress on our water supply. Governments, decision makers and water system operators are forced to take appropriate adaptation measures that limit ...
Water quality modelling of the Lake Victoria basin and impact investigation of climate change on the quality of the Lake KU Leuven
Over 30 million inhabitants depend on Lake Victoria (LV) in East Africa. The lake has a complex shoreline structure comprising of gulfs and bays. Inner Murchison bay (IMB) is the source of water supply to Kampala city and also recipient of its wastes. Consequently, water treatment costs by National Water & Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) have trebled in the past decades; thus the need to invest in alternative options. There is lack of insight ...
Mechanistic modelling of root water uptake in saline soils. KU Leuven
Producing enough food for an increasing world population is one of the major challenges of the 21st century. Improving management practices that optimize the usage of water, nutrients and other agricultural resources is vital to increase crop production and productivity while maintaining a healthy environment. The usage of computational models has been integrated in the decision making of agricultural management practices such as in ...
