Biomonitoring of atmospheric nitrogen deposition with mosses

It was expected that the emission of nitrogen during the COVID-19 crisis and the lockdowns would diminish because of the sharp reduction in human activities. This would apply…

Nitrogen and Dutch nature areas

Nature is under pressure in the Netherlands. Most of the Natura 2000 areas in our country are not doing well at the moment (as also pointed out in this article in the Volkskrant). Through its research and…

Development of WaterVision Nature

WaterVision Nature (WWN) is a tool that calculates the effects of climate change and water management on terrestrial vegetation in nature areas. Policy-makers and area managers can now take better account of the consequences for nature of…

Water and Fire

The risk of the spread of wildfires is closely related to the water management. The flammability of the vegetation in particular is partly a function of the availability of water. The drier the soil, the drier the…

Developments in water quality at surface water intake points for drinking water supply

Future developments in water quality at surface water intake points for drinking water supply constitute the key climate-change associated risk for the drinking water sector. This was a…

Applicability of German climate research to the Dutch situation – phase 1

There is a lot of high-value knowledge available in Germany on climate change, water management, and the spatial organisation of urban and rural areas. This knowledge was developed…

Effects of Sand-Drift Dynamics on the Conservation and Restoration of Grey Dunes

Since 2012, within the framework of DPWE, research has been ongoing on the restoration and management issues of dry dune grasslands (habitat Grey dunes). The research is a…

Future water use and peak factors under climate change

According the prognoses of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), weather extremes, such as heat and drought, will become more frequent and long-lasting. Peaks in water consumption will…

Incorporation of soil nutrients and acidity into PROBE

The vegetation composition in freshwater natural ecosystems can be explained on the basis of the soil moisture, nutrient fertility and acidity. A reliable assessment of how the vegetation…

PROBE 3: an innovative model for vegetation development, groundwater recharge and nitrate leaching in a changing climate

Climate change can be expected to have big consequences for groundwater-independent vegetations, precisely because they rely entirely on the atmosphere for their water. Over the past few years,…

Physical vulnerability of mains to climate change

Climate change can lead to a higher probability of failure in drinking water mains. Analysis of failure data in USTORE, covering the last five years, shows that the number of pipe fractures…

Future temperature in the distribution network under the impact of urbanisation and climate change

Water temperature at the pumping station has limited impact on the temperature at the tap, but groundwater temperature does have a strong impact. If ground temperatures increase because…

Ground passage in the adaptation of surface-water water companies due to population aging and climate change

According to predictions based on anticipated population aging and climate change, the concentrations of pharmaceuticals in surface water will significantly increase in the years ahead. Because of protracted…

Improving water quality prognosis at surface water intake points for drinking water supply

In an earlier project, ‘Developments in water quality at surface water intake points for drinking water supply’, prognoses were made for water quality under the impact of climate…

Application of drinking water sludge to phosphorus-rich soils to favour nature development

Species rich vegetation generally develops on nutrient poor soils. On former agricultural land, in which phosphorus availability levels are high because of years of fertilisation, the development of…

Prediction model condition-determination of cementitious mains – Data mining phase 2

To further structure its existing mains replacement policy, Brabant Water wants to gain more insight into factors that play a role in the leaching of cementitious mains. It…
