Seminar - Monitoring, modeling and management of phreatic groundwater levels
Book of abstracts
When? 10 November 2022 9:00-16:30
Where? Graaf de Ferrarisgebouw, Brussels
About¶
Water management in Flanders faces major challenges to better adapt society to increasingly frequent weather extremes. The Flemish landscape is drained on a large scale and smarter drainage might lead to a significant increase in water storage. Recently, many new research and demonstration projects have been started that study how different forms of level control and active water level management in canals and drainage pipes influence groundwater recharge and water storage in the soil. This study day will bring together researchers, water managers and users to share and discuss their methods and results.

Part II: workshop on services to farmers for installing and managing weirs (13:30-16:00, Ferraris - 00.G.20, NL)¶
Moderatoren: S. Fosselle, J. De Waegemaeker
Het plaatsen van stuwtjes in landbouwgebied is één van de blauwgroene strategieën die steeds meer toepassing kent in Vlaanderen. Ondanks de groeiende aandacht en interesse voor stuwtjes binnen de landbouwsector kampt de realisatie van stuwtjes op het terrein nog met veel moeilijkheden. Via het kader van Service Blueprint visualiseren en analyseren we samen met betrokkenen van diverse Water-Land-Schap coalities de praktische dienstverlening voor en ontzorging van landbouwers om stuwtjes te plaatsen en te beheren. De workshop focust op concrete praktijkcases.

The placement of weirs in agricultural areas is one of the blue-green strategies that is increasingly being implemented in Flanders. Despite the growing attention and interest for weirs within the agricultural sector, the realization of weirs in the field still faces many difficulties. Through the framework of Service Blueprint we visualize and analyze together with stakeholders of various Water-Land-Schap coalitions the practical services for and support of farmers to place and manage weirs. The workshop focuses on concrete case studies.
