River Re-naturalization in Upstream Flemish Basins: Integrating Urban Design and Hydraulic Modelling (Hernaturalisatie van rivieren in stroomopwaartse Vlaamse bekkens: Integratie van stedenbouwkundig ontwerp en waterbouwkundige modellering) KU Leuven
The rise in flooding issues seen in Flanders in recent years is attributed to the incremental paving over of the soil and the changes in precipitation schemes wrought by climate change(1). Climate change projections for Europe and Flanders indicate that the discharge into rivers will be significantly higher by 2020(2). For Flanders in particular, which is very densely urbanized, this means that the risk of flooding is going to be much greater if ...
