Abstract


Improving the understanding of the controls on subsurface stormflow generation has been the goal of numerous experimental and modeling studies. However, the effect of the spatial variability of throughfall on soil moisture patterns and subsurface stormflow (SSF) generation has not yet been studied in detail. The objectives of this study are three-fold: (1) to investigate the influence of a spatially variable throughfall pattern on soil moisture; (2) to investigate if soil moisture patterns reflect a balance between a throughfall and bedrock topography patterns; and (3) to investigate how this balance changes when soil depth, storm size and slope angle are varied. Virtual experiments are used to address these questions. A virtual experiment is a numerical experiment driven by collective field intelligence. It provides a learning tool to investigate the effect of individual processes in a complex  Continue reading →

					

		
		
	


	

				

			
						

				Het beste drinkwater, ook nog in 2050
			

								


				

			
“Drinkwater raakt op: rivieren straks te vuil om nog te zuiveren” kopte de Telegraaf op de voorpagina op woensdag 3 oktober naar aanleiding van het RIVM/Deltares rapport over de effecten van klimaatverandering op de waterkwaliteit bij innamepunten voor drinkwater. Vier Delftse onderzoekers (TU Delft en UNESCO-IHE) menen dat het zo’n vaart niet zal lopen. Het rapport houdt volgens hen te weinig rekening met de héle watercyclus en met de Nederlandse innovatiekracht op het gebied van drinkwater- en afvalwaterzuivering. Wij hebben in Nederland het beste kraanwater ter wereld, ook nog in 2050.
