| Summary: | <p>Local and regional governments in The Netherlands are
increasingly faced with the question how to adjust and optimize groundwater
table conditions in urban areas to minimize ongoing subsidence and its
consequences. To help addressing this question, a model was developed that
includes soft-soil deformation by creep. In this paper, a study is presented
in which the model was used to investigate and intercompare the
effectiveness of measures that (a) prevent anomalous water table drop during
a drought, (b) suppress the seasonal variability of the water table, and (c) involve a permanent rise of the mean water table.</p> |
