Residual Biomass: A Silver Bullet to Ensure a Sustainable Bioeconomy?
Using residual biomass, such as grass and wood chips, as a resource instead of treating it as waste is not automatically more sustainable.

Flood hazard reduction from automatically applied landscaping measures in RiverScape
Seven flood reduction measures along the Waal river were ranked according to the water level reduction and the displaced material for their implementation.

Rivierbodemdynamiek meenemen in het ontwerp van maatregelen
In the Dutch Waal river, the bed topography of the navigational channel is measured bi-weekly. In a so-called TKI-project (cooperation between Rijkswaterstaat, HKV and Twente University) we use this data to link morphological changes to specific interventions in the river. This is not a straightforward as it may seem, because the morphological changes are the sum of small scale changes due to e.g. the presence of groynes, medium scale changes coming from the intervention and large scale changes coming from engineering measures in the (far) past to which the profile is still adjusting. A so-called wavelet analysis can be used to disentangle these different scales and enables us to focus only on the morphological changes due to the intervention. This improves river operations and maintenance and in the future also to facilitate the planning of new measures to minimize morphological impact.

Users’ perspectives about the potential usefulness of online storylines to communicate river research to a multi-disciplinary audience
This was the first and exploratory step on our initiative of using storylines for science communication. Researchers and practitioners think that stories of science that include facts could be useful!

Analyzing collaborative governance through Social Network Analysis
We mapped the connections between organizations involved in flood protection and nature management in the Waal River and explored the consequences of abolishing the central actor in these networks.

Exploring place attachment and visions of nature, of water-based recreationists
Major river interventions can greatly affect stakeholders and their connection to the river landscape. We show how recreationists’ perceptions of nature and landscape influence their expectations about a pilot intervention in the Waal river.
