Cu07821 10management and maintenance2015Henk Massink
Management and maintenance of water systems involves complying with various regulations at the European, national, provincial and local levels. It requires managing surface waters, beds, embankments, structures, water levels and other components. Key instruments used include the "Legger" which establishes the situation and dimensions, the "Peilbesluit" which sets water levels, and the "Keur" which establishes regulations. Maintenance activities include dredging, mowing, reconstructing side structures and embankments, and removing new growth. Maintenance of structures involves removing dredgings and repairing structures as needed.
The document discusses zoning plans, water assessments, and ledgers related to land development and water management. A zoning plan describes allowed land and building uses, and can regulate details like building heights and distances. Changing a zoning plan's designation requires stakeholder input and can take years. A water assessment analyzes how a zoning change, like converting farmland to urban use, will impact the water system. Ledgers document requirements for waterways regarding location, form, size, and construction, and define management boundaries and protection zones. The case involves stakeholders debating a developer's proposed zoning change, with topics including impacts to the water system and potential problems.
This document discusses different types of weirs used to measure water discharge, including broad crested weirs, thin plate weirs, and Rehbock, Romijn, Cipoletti, circular, and Thomson weirs. Broad crested weirs can be long or short, and influence discharge measurements differently depending on whether water downstream affects flow. Thin plate weirs have a sharp crest and allow measuring the upstream water level where it is streamlined with atmospheric pressure under the nappe. The document also provides a link to a video about a hydrosystem and field trip in Macedonia.
Culverts are civil engineering structures used to allow water to pass under roads or embankments. There are several types of culverts including round concrete tubes, rectangular precast concrete elements, and metal culverts. Culverts require appropriate foundations depending on the material and site conditions, including shallow foundations, foundations on improved soil, or foundations on wooden or concrete poles. Culvert endings can have various shapes like long front walls, receding wings, or return walls to connect to surrounding terrain.
The document discusses various types of pumping stations including Archimedean screws, axial pumps, centrifugal pumps, and submerged pumps. It notes key components of centrifugal pumps like impellers, volutes, and casings. It also covers pump installation methods, switching levels, frequency drives, impeller types for different uses, and hydraulic concepts like duty point and head.
1) Darcy's law describes groundwater flow through porous media according to hydraulic conductivity and hydraulic gradient.
2) Factors that influence groundwater levels include precipitation, soil type, and land use. Heavy rainfall or irrigation can cause groundwater levels to rise.
3) The drainage of an agricultural parcel is calculated based on the hydraulic conductivity, horizontal distance from a stream, and vertical distances between the groundwater level and impenetrable layer and stream level.
This document discusses the hydrological cycle and soil moisture in the unsaturated zone. It describes:
1) The process of rainfall infiltration and groundwater recharge. Water is stored in the pores of the unsaturated zone below the ground surface.
2) Forces that act on soil moisture in the unsaturated zone, including adsorption, osmotic, and capillary forces. Capillary action causes smaller pores to fill with water before larger pores.
3) The soil moisture curve and Staring series, which relate soil type to water pressure and volume of water stored. Finer textured soils like clay can store more water than coarser soils like sand.
Cu07821 3 precipitation and evapotranspirationHenk Massink
1. The hydrological cycle diagram shows the annual water balance for an area, with 800 mm of precipitation, 350 mm of evapotranspiration, 425 mm of surface runoff, and 475 mm of groundwater recharge.
2. Effective precipitation is defined as the volume of precipitation available for groundwater recharge, and is calculated as total precipitation minus actual evapotranspiration, which depends on crop type.
3. Extreme precipitation events like the 1998 "Westlandbui" storm that dropped 100 mm of rain in 24 hours can cause hundreds of millions of euros in flood damage.
This document discusses water management strategies in the Netherlands, specifically focusing on optimal water level agreements. It describes how water levels are managed through water level agreement areas, where the surface water level is fixed and uniform. The typical Dutch strategy involves examining the existing water situation and specifying adjustments to achieve an optimal groundwater and surface water regime. It also discusses how to relate crop selection and production to soil type and groundwater classification using HELP tables. Maintaining appropriate water levels is important for preventing flooding, drying out, and salination while supporting agriculture and nature.
This document provides information about several rural water management courses, including their course codes and names. It then discusses the organization of one course called "Rural Water Management" including that it has both theory and assignment classes each week.

The dimensions of the culvert are calculated to be 3 m x 2 m based on trying different cross-sectional areas. The total head loss is calculated using the given discharge of 3 m3/s, upstream velocity of 1 m/s, and downstream velocity of 0.5 m/s. A cross-section of 3 m x 2 m results in a head loss of 0.45 m, which is less than the maximum allowed head rise of 0.5 m. Sketches are provided showing the elevation of the total head and pressure lines.

FEEDING TRIALS OYSTERS
The quality of algal biomass as feed for shellfish is dependent on the cultivation parameters. In order to
determine the effect of algal quality on shellfish growth and condition, feeding trials with oysters using
algae cultivated under different parameters are needed. In cooperation with the algae research a set of
feeding trials will be designed and executed. Growth and condition parameters of the oysters will be
determined. This will give insight in the effect of algal quality on shellfish production parameters.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Editor's Notes
The number of schools that start using the program are shown in the graph. The goal is that each school in the towns near the river Guadalete are following the program by 2020. We have decided to start with Jerez de la Frontera, Arcos de la Frontera and Zahara because they are large towns and they are spread along the river.Each year a new town is added to the program. Each year in the towns that participate in the program the number of schools following the program is doubled (eg. Jerez de la Frontera: total 76 primary schools 2014 (year 1) 13 schools 2015 (year 2) 26 schools 2016 (year 3) 39 schools, etc.The program will start in 2014. In the mean time the teachers that are going to join the program next year will get training to be able to work with the program.
This table shows the activities that will be done during the program in the primary schools. With these activities we hope to make children aware of the river Guadalete and the natural values it has. The activities themselves will not change though the theme will (e.g. bicycle trip: may in one year be along the downstream of the river and next year upstream of the river). In the first year story books that already exist will be used, in 2015 we hope story books explicitly made for the program will be made. During this program we try to involve the parents of the children to also educate them. The schedule for the first year of the primary schools is shown in two slide from now.
This table shows the activities that will be done during the program in the secondary schools. With these activities we hope to make students aware of the river Guadalete and the natural values it has. The activities themselves will not change though the theme will (e.g. laboratory work: may in one year be about water quality and the next year about ecology). One of the activities is that students from the secondary school work as volunteers at local foundations to gain experience about nature values.In this program students from the Cádiz university will help to perform the tasks in the program (e.g. help with laboratory work). The schedule for the first year of the secondary schools is shown in the next slide.
The graph in this slide shows the planning for both primary and secondary schools in the first year of the program (2014-2015).For each month a maximum of three hours is given to perform the activities of that month, the distribution of the hours throughout the month can be decided by each school by themselves.During classes such as biology, chemistry and history the teacher talks about the Guadalete River and aspects of that river in relation to the subject taught.To pay for this project we need financial support from sponsors. Possible sponsors could be ‘Ecologistas en acción’ and possibly others. We hope that after the (success) of the first year of the program that potential sponsors will come by themselves to sponsor this initiative for future years. We tried to keep the costs of the project as low as possible by employing the help of students of Cádiz university and volunteers.
These are the other objectives made for the awareness theme. We chose child education because if we can make the child aware of the natural values the Guadalete river basin holds, we can secure the future of the river.
There are three main aspects regarding to improve sewage infrastructure in JerezBudget To improve source so that there will be less water goes into the sewage systemTo increase the storage of volume of sewage system by improve the main infrastructure so that even if there is a overflow the sewage system can still handle that
Two resources of budgetCharge extra tax from heavy industry or companies who produce large amount of wastewater or worse wastewater; also extra tax for tourism related facilities like hotels or golf clubs which consumed lots of waterSegment the price of water with different range of amount.
Infiltration and vegetated systems can be spread all over the city, so the percentage of impermeable area would decrease.
Underground Infiltration System to absorb rainwater so that the volume of rainwater which goes into the sewage will decrease.It can also filtrate the water a little bit before the overflow goes into the sewage.
The oversized pipes can delay and decrease the peak of a heavy rainfall. The pipes should be easy accessible because they need more maintenance than other normal pipes.
If overflow (rainfall), water will stay in the retention reservoir, so the sediment will settle in retention reservoir and if water start to overflow to the surface water from retention reservoir, only the upper clean part will flow to the surface water
This is a picture of WatersquareBethemsquare in Rotterdam.This square can be used in multiple ways, besides collecting rainwater, it’s possible to sport, skate and dance in one of the three basins.
