Framework for mapping large-scale nature-based solutions for drought mitigation: Regional application in Flanders.

Droughts are classified as the most expensive climate disasters as they leave long-term and chronic impacts on the ecosystem, agriculture, and human society. The intensity, frequency, and duration of drought events have increased in the past and are expected to continue rising at global, continental, and regional scales. Nature-based solutions (NBS) are highlighted as effective solutions to cope with the future impacts of these events.

The underexposed nature-based solutions: A critical state-of-art review on drought mitigation.

Droughts are the most expensive climate disasters as they leave long-term and chronic impacts on the ecosystem, agriculture, and human society. The intensity, frequency, and duration of drought events have increased over the years and are expected to worsen in the future on a regional and planetary/global scale. Nature-based solutions (NBS) such as wetland and floodplain restorations, green infrastructures, rainwater harvesting, etc.

The impact of extensive agricultural water drainage on the hydrology of the Kleine Nete watershed, Belgium.

Agricultural water drainage can significantly lower groundwater levels and affect catchment hydrology. Therefore, building models with and without these features can indicate an adverse impact on the geohydrological process. Therefore, the standalone Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT+) model was initially developed to simulate streamflow at the Kleine Nete catchment outlet.

Multi-variable sensitivity and identifiability analysis for a complex environmental model in view of integrated water quantity and water quality modeling.

Environmental models are often over-parameterized. A sensitivity analysis can identify influential model parameters for, e.g.
