Reducing drought by changing the surface water system

On September 21, 2021 By Robert Lubben In Research

Experiences from recent droughts show that elevated sandy areas in the southern and eastern Netherlands are vulnerable to drought (see e.g. Buitink et al., 2020). Transporting water to these areas is difficult due to their elevation and distance to river systems. In addition, the use of surface water for functions …

Increasing soil drought drives Western European summer warming

On September 20, 2021 By Annemiek Stegehuis In Research

European summers have become warmer in the last decades. To mitigate further warming, we have to better understand the cause of these increasing temperatures. In a recent study, Stegehuis et al. (2021) quantified the contribution of both decreasing soil moisture and atmospheric circulation to summer warming and summer heatwave events. …

About

drought.NL is a platform for research on drought processes, quantification, and its impacts on water resources, agriculture, and natural ecosystems. It serves as the informal homepage of the climate hydrology team at Wageningen University.

The climate hydrology team is lead by Ryan Teuling, associate professor in the Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management Group at Wageningen University. Our research focusses on the interaction between hydrological and atmospheric processes, from diurnal to climate change timescales.
