Over het archief
In 2012 verloren we Jean Jacques Peters, voormalig ingenieur van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium (1964 tot 1979) en internationaal expert in sedimenttransport, rivierhydraulica en -morfologie. Als eerbetoon aan hem hebben we potamology (http://www.potamology.com/) gecreëerd, een virtueel gedenkarchief dat als doel heeft om zijn manier van denken en morfologische aanpak van rivierproblemen in de wereld in stand te houden en te verspreiden.
Het merendeel van z’n werk hebben we toegankelijk gemaakt via onderstaande zoekinterface.

| Abstract |
The Dender River is chosen as a pilot case to research the influence of changing rainfall and evaporationpatterns on river discharges. A serious decrease of summer rainfall together with an increaseof evaporation result in more extreme low flow discharges. The summer base flow can decreasewith more than 50% during dry summers. This increases the chance on water deficits, with adverseconsequences for drinking-water production, shipping, agriculture, industry, nature …Although frequently associated with climate change, the increase of flood probabilities is not thatclear in the results. Peak discharges in a river like the Dender do not rise more than 15% in themost extreme scenarios while their mean trend is even diminishing a few percents.The uncertainties remain high for secondary effects of climate change like flooding. Therefore climateevolutions have to be monitored and analysed very intensively during the next decades. Newwater policy projects must incorporate possibilities for adaptive measurements. Especially the problemsof water availability during summer need further analysis and follow-up. |
