Silke Wieprecht, chair of the Department of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management of the Institute for Modelling Hydraulic and Environmental Systems (IWS) at the University of Stuttgart for her outstanding supervision and motivating attitude during my time at IWS and during the time I have been working on my dissertation. I would like to thank her for her support and giving me the freedom to realize my own ideas. Further, a special thank you goes to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Steeb, head of the Institute of Applied Mechanics at the University of Stuttgart as co-supervisor of my thesis. I benefited from numerous discussions particularly coming from another field of interest. A very warm thank you to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Noack, head of the Department of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management at the University of Applied Sciences at Karlsruhe for supervising my dissertation and introducing me to the fascinating field of colmation. Without his encouragement, support, and fruitful discussions this thesis would not have been realizable. I greatly enjoyed his company and discussions. I am also grateful to my colleagues at the Institute for Modelling Hydraulic and Environmental Systems for having a pleasurable time in a friendly atmosphere leading to many fruitful discussions. Especially mentioned are the employees of the Hydraulic Laboratory who greatly supported me during my laboratory experiments and who provided specific field equipment. There are many student assistants who supported me during field work and laboratory experiments mostly under extremely harsh conditions. I could not have done all of this without your everlasting power of support. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to my family and especially to my husband Christian for their unconditional support, patience, and encouragement.
