Introduetion This graduation project deals with the topic of a new accommodation facility for tourists in South Limburg. The region is mostly filled with old-fashioned small hotels that are transformed from previous residential housing, vacation apartments transformed from farmhouses, and camping sites. In this project I want to search for a new design approach that is contemporary, but also fits within the local atmosphere. For this design 3 ideas are very important. Firstly, the existing hotel and vacation apartments' typologies in this region are carefully studled and applied to the design in order to bring a local feeling. Secondly, local material, wood and mergel (a type of marl unique to the area of South Limburg), are chosen as building matenals for different parts in the design. Also the way they are either a structural element or attached to the structure is carefully studied. Thirdly, the location of the building is on a slope, which gives special opportunities for building placement, views, lighting, closeness and openness. The design program consistsof a hotel including 27 rooms, a youth hostel containing 36 beds, a landscape yard and a music hall for local band performance and cultural festivals like the famous 'Gulpener Bierfeesten'. Hopefully, with this accommodation facility design, tourists can come into contact with the local culture, and popularize it further. • 2.

  • Holocene Alluvial Sediment Deposition in Contrasting Environments in Northwestern Europe
    298 Sediment Dynamics in Changing Environments (Proceedings of a symposium held in Christchurch, New Zealand, December 2008). IAHS Publ. 325, 2008. Holocene alluvial sediment deposition in contrasting environments in northwestern Europe B. NOTEBAERT & G. VERSTRAETEN Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, K.U. Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200E, B-3001 Leuven, Belgium [email protected] Abstract The total mass of Holocene alluvial sediment storage was estimated for three Belgian catchments (Dijle, Gulp and Amblève), with areas ranging between 47 and 1070 km2. The Dijle and Gulp catchments have comparable, rather intensive, land-use histories, while the land use in the Amblève catchment is less intensive and developed more recently. Topography is more pronounced in the Amblève catchment and more gentle in the Dijle catchment. In total, 1070 hand augerings were made to study fluvial deposition at 96 cross-sections across the flood plain. Average flood-plain deposition masses for the different catchments were calculated at different spatial scales. The results show that alluvial sediment storage is much higher for the Dijle catchment (464 103 Mg/km2 catchment area) compared to the Gulp (128 103 Mg/km2) and Amblève catchment (33 103 Mg/km2). Comparison with other data from West European catchments shows that alluvial sediment storage is much larger for the Dijle catchment, while that for the Amblève is very low. These differences between catchments can be attributed to their land-use history. Land use plays a role in both the soil erosion rates and in the sediment transport towards the fluvial system. Radiocarbon dating results for the Dijle flood plain indicate that major changes in land use are responsible for changing flood plain sedimentation.

  • Discharge, Distance to the Source, and Floodplain Geometry
    Sediment and the Environment (Proceedings of the Baltimore Symposium, May 1989) IAHS Publ. no. 184, 1989. Metal dispersal in the fluvial system of the River Geul: The role of discharge, distance to the source, and floodplain geometry H. Leenaers Department of Geography, State University of Utrecht P.O. Box 80. 115, 3508 TC Utrecht, The Netherlands M. C. Rang Department of Works, Province of Limburg P. O. Box 5700, 6202 MA Maastricht, The Netherlands ABSTRACT Due tö mining activities in the past, the floodplain soils of the river Geul are severely polluted with heavy metals, especially lead, zinc and cadmium. In the present situation, two active sources of heavy metals are recognized. Older floodplain sediments, which have been contaminated by the disposal of solid waste, are reworked and continue to function as a major source of heavy metals during floods. Erosion and leaching of spoil heaps that are still present along the channel and on the river banks are additional sources of heavy metals. As a result of an increased activity of these sources during flood events, for at-a-station measurements only a weak nega­ tive relation was found between river discharge and metal concentra­ tions of suspended sediments. However, downstream observations rêveal an exponential decay of metal concentrations that is due to dilution with relatively clean bed, bank and hillslppe material. Moreover, differences in geochemical mobility and specific density may cause ; metal-specific decay rates during low flow conditions. During flood events suspended sediments are deposited in the floodplain area. Local floodplain characteristics such as inundation frequency and geomorphology reflect a spatial pattern of soil pollution that con­ sists of local deviations from the general, exponential decay pat­ tern.

Zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) mining took place since Roman times and reached its peak in the late 19th and early 20th century until the mines closed in the 1920s. This has resulted in widespread contamination of the floodplain due to overbank deposition of contaminated sediments. This study aims to quantify the total metal inventory of the approximately 20 km long Dutch section of the Geul River flood- plain between Cottessen at the Belgium-Dutch border (50˚45´25´´N, 5˚56´09´´E) and Meerssen (50˚52´35´´N, 5˚46´11´´E). For this purpose, 74 1.7 m - 2.5 m deep corings (5 cm diameter) were conducted distributed over nine transects. The cores were sampled every 10 cm. The resulting 1248 soil samples were air-dried, homogenised, and analysed for Zn and Pb using a Thermo Fisher Scientific Niton® XL3t-600 handheld XRF analyser. The metal inventory at each coring location was calculated by the sum of the product of the metal concentration, soil bulk den- sity, and depth increment (0.1 m).

Globale inhoud regionale Structuurvisie Wonen Zuid -Limburg. De structuurvisie geeft richting aan de kwalitatieve en kwantitatieve opgave waar de achttien gemeenten in de regio Zuid-Limburg zich de komende jaren voor gesteld zien ten aanzien van volkshuisvesting. Daarnaast geeft de structuurvisie richting aan de wijze waarop het aantal woningbouwplannen wordt afgestemd op de (toekomstige) woningbehoefte. Dit betekent onder meer dat beleidsmatig is vastgelegd hoe de planvoorraad voor woningen in de gemeenten in de regio Zuid-Limburg in overeenstemming wordt gebracht met de kwantitatieve en kwalitatieve behoefte. Daarbij zullen delen van de in de bestem- mingsplannen opgenomen directe bouwmogelijkheden komen te vervallen. Ook is niet uit te sluiten dat door de gemeente gesloten privaatrechtelijke overeenkomsten om woningbouw mogelijk te maken, worden opengebroken. De structuurvisie heeft overigens geen directe rechtsgevolgen; bestemmings- plannen hebben dat wel. Waar kunt u de Structuurvisie Wonen Zuid-Limburg inzien? De vastgestelde structuurvisie en de hier bijbehorende stukken liggen vanaf 18 november 2016 permanent ter inzage bij het Klant Contact Centrum (KCC) in het gemeentehuis.

Cetaceans are marine mammals and are among the principal predators in the sea. They are warm-blooded animals and have quite a high food consumption relative to their biomass. They eat mainly fish and shellfish and this brings them into competition with the fishing industry, which can have an adverse effect on their numbers. The fishing industry uses large fyke nets and vertical nets in which cetaceans can drown. This is not very common on the NCS, because these fishing methods are little used there, but large numbers of porpoises are drowned in Danish waters. There is a third, invisible threat to marine mammals: the pollution of the North Sea with PCBs and heavy metals. The bottle-nosed dolphin may have disappeared from the NCS as a result of these factors. The animal was still a common North Sea species in 1960. Now the bottle-nosed dolphin is considered to have practically died out there, although a number of specimens was observed in 1991.
