About the archive
In 2012 we lost Jean Jacques Peters, former engineer of Flanders Hydraulics Research (1964 till 1979) and international expert in sediment transport, river hydraulics and morphology. As a tribute to him we have created potamology, a virtual memorial archive whose aim is to preserve and disseminate his way of thinking and his morphological approach to river problems all over the world.This archive provides four modules, each with its specific information set relevant to Peters’ work. Where available and if not confidential, there will also be access to the full text. In dialogue with Peters’ family we continue to make his life’s work accessible.

Abstract |
The feasibility of the disposal strategy was investigated at Flanders Hydraulics Research in 2002 and 2003. None of the results of this study opposed the feasibility of the proposed strategy, although final judgement would only be possible after the execution of an in situ disposal test. At the end of 2004 500.000 m3 of sand was disposed at the tip of the Walsoorden sandbar. After a one-year extensive monitoring of the experiment, it was concluded that from morphological viewpoint the test was a success. The ecological monitoring revealed no significant negative changes in trends due to the disposal test. In 2006 the in situ disposal experiment was continued, with a new disposal of 500.000 m3 of sand. |
