I am an associate professor in Hydrology at the University of Twente, the Netherlands. I hold an MSc degree in Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management from Wageningen University and a PhD degree in Hydrology and Climatology from the University of Twente. My research interests and activities focus on catchment hydrology in general and modelling of hydrological systems, assessment of environmental change impacts on hydrology and water resources and uncertainty analysis in particular. These research themes are reflected in my past and on-going research projects, international collaboration and over 150 scientific publications. I was and am involved in projects and studies in many countries in the world including Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Pakistan, Iran, Rwanda, Kenya, Germany, France and Belgium. I teach in the area of hydrology, hydrological modelling and water management and supervise PhD students, MSc theses and BSc theses. I have contributed to international training courses in Indonesia and China and provided guest lectures and keynotes in several countries (e.g. China, Pakistan, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Poland).

Current projects

Finished projects

Sustainable and efficient allocation of limited blue and green water resources

Effects of changes in land use and climate on water availability of a tropical catchment

Land use changes such as deforestation and conversion of agricultural lands influence the hydrology of catchments and hence water availability and demand. In Indonesia, deforestation and development of agricultural lands and palm oil plantations have resulted in land use changes at different scales.

Future flow projections and their impacts on reservoir operation

Climate change induced by the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will have significant effects on spatial and temporal patterns of hydrologically relevant variables. Consequently, climate change has a great impact on water management, for example, reservoir operation.

Exploring downstream water availability of Yellow River based on historic and projected runoff change in the source region area

In recent years, the source region of the Yellow River (SRYR) has been subject to a changing climate which affects various water balance components as illustrated by the drawn-down of groundwater levels, decreased runoff and reduction of wetland and permafrost areas.

Uncertainty in climate change impacts on extreme discharges of twinning river basins

Climate change induced by the increase of the emission of greenhouse gases will have significant effects on spatial and temporal patterns of hydrological relevant variables. Much work has been done on the impact of climate change on hydrological variables.

Flood security strategies for dike ring 6 - reducing system risk

Dike ring 6 Groningen-Friesland is the largest dike ring in the Netherlands. Flooding from the sea is expected to cause 1,000 to 100,000 casualties and an economic damage between 10 and 100 billion euro (RIVM, 2004).

PUB: Predictions in Ungauged Basins

Predictions in Ungauged Basins (PUB) is an initiative that emerged out of discussions between IAHS (International Association of Hydrological Sciences) members on internet and during a series of IAHS sponsored meetings in Maastricht (18-27 July, 2001), Kofu (28-29 March, 2002) and Brasilia (20-22 November, 2002) about the need to reduce the predictive uncertainty in hydrological science and practice.

Appropriate modelling in decision support systems for river basin management

The use of models is essential for model-based decision support systems in river basin management. Often very complicated models are used, which are sometimes more than the needs of decision support systems.

Appropriate flow forecasting for reservoir operation

Appropriate modelling seeks for a complexity-accuracy-uncertainty consistent system that is as simple as possible, but compatible for its task. Appropriate flood forecasting methods have a sound practical background, in this research, they are oriented to satisfy the requirements of reservoir operation.

FLOCODS: FLOod COntrol Decision Support

Decision Support System for ecosystem upgrading and flood control of a sustainable development in the Red River System (China, Vietnam).

Appropriate modelling of climate change impacts on river flooding

My PhD project dealt with the determination of the appropriate model complexity dependent on modelling objective and research area, and the assessment of the climate change impact on river flooding with the obtained, appropriate model.

Modelling the total water balance in Indonesia

Indonesia faces various severe problems with ‘environmental water’: flooding in the wet season and shortage in the dry season. Effects of climate change are predicted to make the situation worse.

Seasonal and long-term prediction of low flows in the Rhine basin

Low flows in rivers may result in several types of problems to society, e.g. lack of water for drinking water supply, irrigation, industrial use and power production, hindrance to navigation and deterioration of water quality.

Uncertain hydraulic roughness in river models

Hydraulic–morphological river models are applied to design measures for purposes such as safety against flooding, navigation and ecological rehabilitation. Much effort has been put into the development of sophisticated numerical model system.
