Samenvatting

Klimaatadaptatie bevindt zich in een fase van implementatie en versnelling, wat terug te zien is in de snelle verspreiding van maatregelen voor stedelijk water- en hittebeheer in steden over de hele wereld. Met name op natuur gebaseerde oplossingen ('nature-based solutions' of NBS) zijn recentelijk in populariteit gestegen en in staat om tegelijk wateroverlast, hitte, droogte en verlies van biodiversiteit te bestrijden. Ondanks tientallen jaren aan ervaring is er nog veel onbekend over de lange termijn werking van deze maatregelen en hoe zich dit verhoudt met keuzes voor ontwerp, aanleg en onderhoud. Daarom onderzoekt dit hoofdstuk de relaties tussen kenmerken en prestaties van stedelijke NBS, gebaseerd op empirisch onderzoek uitgevoerd in meer dan 50 wadi's in Nederland tussen 2021 en 2022. Het onderzoek combineert verschillende veldwerkmethoden zoals infiltratietests om de hydraulische functionaliteit te beoordelen en metingen naar de ophoping van zware metalen, evenals buurtonderzoeken om lokale percepties van wadi's in beeld te brengen. Hoewel de meeste onderzochte wadi's voldoen aan de nationale criteria voor hydraulische en milieutechnische prestaties, overschreed bijna een derde van de onderzochte maatregelen de normen voor de ophoping van zware metalen. Door een nationale database van wadi's op te bouwen en gegevens afgeleid van metingen, proberen we patronen te vinden in succesfactoren voor het ontwerpen van wadi's.

abstract = "As the field of climate adaptation has entered an implementation and acceleration phase, measures for urban water and heat management are rapidly spreading in cities across the globe. Especially nature-based solutions have seen a recent rise in implementation to fight flooding, heat, drought, and biodiversity loss. Despite decades of experience, there is still a lot unknown about the long-term functioning of these measures and how this relates to design, development, and maintenance decisions. To this end, this chapter explores the relations between characteristics and performances of urban nature-based solutions, based on empirical research conducted in over 50 swales throughout the Netherlands between 2021 and 2022. The research combined various fieldwork methods such as full-scale infiltration tests to assess the hydraulic functionality and heavy metal accumulation tests by using an XRF-scanner, as well as neighborhood surveys to assess local perceptions of these swales and their functions. This chapter describes and illustrates these approaches for mapping and assessing the performance of swales, followed by a reflection on their suitability for linking design choices and performance indicators. Based on national guidelines, these indicators help to establish minimal performance quotas to evaluate and compare the performance of swales. While most of the researched swales met national criteria for hydraulic performance, almost a third of investigated swales exceeded norms for heavy metal accumulation. By building up a national database of swales and data derived through measurements, we attempt to find patterns among successes and failures in swale design through cross-case comparison, but conclude that these heavily rely on local circumstances and context-depending design choices. Expanding on mapping, assessment, and evaluation approaches can lead to a better understanding of these context-depending chances and risks for developing nature-based solutions.",
