The combined human activities in the Dommel catchment lead to a large Sr isotopes amount of dissolved elements and compounds released in surface- and groundwaters. The aim of this B isotopes study was to discriminate the natural (including infiltration of Meuse water) versus anthropogenic Gd anomaly sources of the dissolved load, and to identify the various pollution sources such as agriculture, industrial Dommel basin activity, and wastewater treatment plants, using geochemical tools including major- and trace elements, Sr and B isotopes, and rare earth elements (REE). For that purpose, a same-day geochemical ‘‘Snapshot” picture of the entire basin was combined with monthly monitoring in strategic points. The major- and trace elements analyses allowed discriminating the main pollution sources affecting the basin, i.e. point versus diffuse sources. Strontium isotopes helped to identify each tributary and to calculate mixing proportions. Combining these calculations with the Sr- isotopic data obtained from the ‘‘Snapshot” sampling campaign during a low-flow period, shows that Meuse water infiltration represents 25% of the total Dommel discharge. Boron isotopes used for assessing the amount of water affected by anthropogenic input cannot discriminate between the two main anthro- pogenic inputs, i.e. urban wastewater and the zinc-smelter effluent, as they have similar d11B values. Finally, the REE, and especially the use of Gd anomalies (Gd*), demonstrated the generalized impact of urban wastewater on the streams of the Dommel Basin. The coupled use of different geochemical tracers (Sr and B isotopes together with Gd*) in addition to the standard major-element analyses, led to discriminating the various anthropogenic components influenc- ing the Dommel Basin water quality. With these tools it also became possible to assess the complex water circulation and exchanges between water compartments, including the major role of Meuse water through the Bocholt–Herenthals canal.

Here we report on progress towards validation of the spatially resolved hydrological ENP fate model NanoDUFLOW, by comparing measured and modeled concentrations of < 450 nm metal-based particles in a river. Concentrations measured with Asymmetric Flow-Field-Flow Fractionation (AF4) coupled to ICP-MS, clearly reflected the hydrodynamics of the river and showed satisfactory to good agreement with modeled concentration profiles.

It is a complex field of Dutch foreign policy that must deliver on global commitments in different national and local contexts, and also involves other parts of the Dutch government and water sector. This review gives insights into how the Dutch aid policy was carried out, and how effectively and efficiently it was implemented. In doing so, it distinguishes water management in agriculture, (sub) national water management and transboundary water management. In addition to these thematic areas, the review studies the integration of cross-cutting policy themes: climate change, environment, governance, gender and women’s participation. It also assesses the contribution to the overarching policy objective of poverty reduction. The involvement of the Dutch water sector is also reviewed. The policy review was undertaken by a three-member IOB team led by the IOB coordinating policy evaluator Rita Tesselaar. The other members were Stephen Turner, independent consultant, and Pim de Beer, IOB policy evaluator. Among the information sources for the review were four IOB country case studies conducted by Stephen Turner, together with the other members of the IOB team and a national expert for each of these four studies.

Wie liever in ‘Dommelse sferen’ blijft, kiest water afgevoerd kan worden. Hiermee zorgt voor de routeverkorting langs Nijnsel.

An alternative approach for socio-hydrology: case study research Erik Mostert Department Water Management, Delft University of Technology, Stevinweg 1, 2628 CN Delft, the Netherlands Correspondence: Erik Mostert ([email protected]) Received: 19 May 2017 – Discussion started: 19 June 2017 Revised: 6 October 2017 – Accepted: 23 November 2017 – Published: 15 January 2018 Abstract. Currently the most popular approach in socio hy- large interdisciplinary research project to study the topogra- drology is to develop coupled human–water models. This ar- phy and geology of the basin and the formation of peat soils ticle proposes an alternative approach, qualitative case study since 6000 BC; the human interventions in the Neolithic, Ro- research, involving a systematic review of (1) the human man, and Medieval period; the 17th century drainage works activities affecting the hydrology in the case, (2) the main and the resulting peat shrinkage and wastage; the subse- human actors, and (3) the main factors influencing the ac- quent works to cope with increasing flooding problems; the tors and their activities. Moreover, this article presents a case changing governance structure to make these works possible; study of the Dommel Basin in Belgium and the Netherlands, the changing economy of the basin; and the role of politics and compares this with a coupled model of the Kissimmee and agricultural lobbies (e.g. Godwin, 1978; Richardson et Basin in Florida. In both basins a “pendulum swing” from al., 1978; Darby, 1983; Hall and Coles, 1994; Sheail, 2002; water resources development and control to protection and Purseglove, 2015; Mostert, 2017a).
