Er liggen inmiddels 10.000 wadi’s in Nederland. Dat gaat dus goed! Maar soms gaat er ook wel eens wat mis, in het beheer bijvoorbeeld.

Daarover sprak WaterForum met ‘flood fighter’ Floris Boogaard. Lees meer > digimagazinewaterforum.nl?2504p26

Despite years of field measurements, laboratory experiments and model studies, the effect of shoreface nourishment is still difficult to predict and more knowledge is needed. Researchers have come to this conclusion in a new study.

Shoreface nourishment , the underwater application of sand to combat coastal erosion, is one of the measures used to protect vulnerable coastal areas. Despite years of field measurements, laboratory experiments, and model studies, the effect of shoreface nourishment remains difficult to predict and more knowledge is needed. A new study identified 4 important knowledge gaps. 1. Sand distribution: It’s still unclear how the deposited sand spreads through the coastal zone. 2. Design variables: Little is known about the effect of design variables such as volume, location, and grain size on the lifespan and effectiveness of replenishments. 3. Cumulative effect: The long-term effect of repeated replenishments on a scale of tens of kilometres and decades is largely unknown. 4. Limitations of calculation models: Existing numerical models cannot yet reliably predict the complete morphological development.

🥳 Feest! Vandaag werd ons nieuwe Delta-lab officieel geopend🔬 In het Delta-lab kijken onze experts op microschaal hoe vervuilende stoffen zich gedragen, hoe broeikasgassen vrijkomen uit natte bodems en wat duurzame energieopwekking doet met grondwater en bodem.

🦫 Animal burrowing is becoming an increasing problem for the safety of flood defences. Deltares and partners conducted studies so that water authorities can take measures to control the flood risks caused by burrowing animals such as beavers. See the results > www.deltares.nl/en/stories/c...

🔎 Hoe beweegt zand langs onze kust? Deltares en TU Delft brachten zandpaden in kaart met SedTRAILS. Dit model maakt de routes zichtbaar die zandkorrels afleggen, waardoor we beter begrijpen hoe kustsystemen zich ontwikkelen.

"For women, I reinvent the Deltares motto: Dare to share your flair!"

"By demonstrating the power of women and telling their stories, we can inspire the world."

"Let’s keep fighting for a better tomorrow, working together to make gender equality a reality, not just a vision.”

#IWD2025
Socorro Rodrigo, environmental hydrodynamics researcher: “Women juggle it all – excelling at work, care tasks, lifting people up, and do it all with a smile! For them, I reinvent the Deltares motto: Dare to share your flair!” Jacqueline Vink, Director Communications: “By demonstrating the power of women and telling their stories, we can inspire the world. More women will stand up as leaders when we promote education.” Alba Rodríguez Piedrabuena, geotechnical engineer: “Let’s honour the women who paved the way and accelerate action by addressing remaining challenges. Let’s keep fighting for a better tomorrow, working together to make gender equality a reality, not just a vision.”

"Five generations is too long to wait – we strive for gender equality within one generation!"

By stepping up and working with female colleagues, we can create space for more women to join this field."

"Let’s accelerate action to create more powerful working environments.”

#IWD2025
Yida Tao, Benthe Noyons, and Diana Portillo Arreguín, flood defence researchers: “We are the 3 most recent hires in the Flood Defence Technology department. For us, five generations is too long to wait – we strive for gender equality within one generation. We stick together in a predominantly male field. Being visible and being each other’s cheerleaders helps!” Chamidu Gunaratne, geologist: “I’m a geologist from Sri Lanka. When I joined, there were very few female role models. By stepping up and working with female colleagues, we can create space for more women to join this field. This inclusivity has brought new ideas and directions.” Henriëtte Otter, director research strategy and impact: “Change starts with listening to each other in an open-minded and open-hearted manner. Let’s accelerate action to create more powerful working environments in which we embrace diversity and are truly open to different perspectives and approaches.”
