Abstract
Welcome to the 24rd edition of the NCR Days, the annual meeting of the Netherlands Centre for River studies (NCR), hosted by Delft University of Technology. Organized around the theme “Anthropogenic Rivers”, this year’s NCR Days will take place on 13-14 April 2022 in a hybrid format, in person in Delft as well as online.
This edition of the NCR Days presents a two-day program with oral and poster contributions in five thematic sessions: flood risk management, river functions under pressure, river morphodynamics and sediment management, challenges in river governance, and river restoration and ecology.
We have four keynote speakers. The first is Nathalie Asselman of Deltares. She will reflect on her experiences with flood risk management in Limburg and address the July 2021 peak flow event in (the tributaries of) the Meuse River. Our second keynote speaker is prof Gary Parker from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He will make us reflect on the ubiquitous appearance of rivers in his presentation on “Morphodynamics of lowland river networks modeled as simple binary trees”. The third keynote speaker is Suzanne Linnane from Dundalk Institute of Technology in Ireland. She will underline the relevance of and teach us on river governance during her speech “Water governance for future proofing – an Irish perspective”. The fourth keynote speaker is Bas Roels from WWF Netherlands. He will be illustrating the Room for Living Rivers project – WWF, commenting on the need to accelerate the implementation of nature-based solutions in Dutch river management practices.
It was a pleasant experience for the LOC members to organize the 2022 edition of the NCR Days. We thank the NCR Programme Secretary Koen Berends for his support and advice in this effort. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge NWO Science for offering financial support for the event.
We very much hope you will all be enjoying this 2022 edition of the NCR Days!
With riverine thoughts,
the LOC

Abstract
Rijkswaterstaat welcomes you at the 22nd annual meeting of the Netherlands Centre for River
Studies (NCR-days). The venue of the NCR days is the Honigcomplex in Nijmegen, along the River Waal, an inspiring location for a river congress. Managing the River Waal, as well as the other Rhine branches and the River Meuse, is one of the main tasks of Rijkswaterstaat and we notice that this management is changing. The reason is diverse: the river is used more and more intensively, the users have conflicting demands, large river interventions have recently been completed and new ones are already foreseen. The impact of all these demands and interventions have large consequences on the functioning of the river system and the way we need to manage this. Meanwhile the climate is changing, which reflects in a rising sea level (the downstream boundary of our rivers), changing discharges (the upstream boundary of our rivers) and more and longer periods of low discharges. The consequences of climate change for the lay out of the river are yet unknown, but they will not leave the river unaffected. That is why we have chosen the theme of these NCR days to be: Managing changing rivers rivers. We have put an exciting and interesting program together around this theme, focusing on the main tasks of Rijkswaterstaat: water safety, clean and healthy water, fast and safe waterborne transport, and water availability. Keynotes will be given by Katja Portegies, Director at Rijkswaterstaat WVL, Professor Frans Klijn of Deltares/TU Delft, Professor Chris Spray of Dundee University and Milou Wolters, Strategic Advisor of Rijkswaterstaat. From their own perspective, they will reflect on the central theme ‘Managing changing rivers’.
This Book of Abstracts contains 53 abstracts from all presenting participants of the NCR Days 2020.

Abstract
This document contains a brief summary (the so-called two-pagers) of all the subprojects in RiverCare and serves as background information for the knowledge dissemination days on October 31 and November 1, 2016 and the mid-term review on November 2, 2016. RiverCare is a 5.7 million-euro research programme, in which universities, government,
knowledge-institutes and high-end consultancy firms work together on the challenges in river research and river management. RiverCare was granted in 2013 by the Technology Foundation (STW) of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), started effectively in 2014 and will end in December 2019. There are 16 PhD-students, 3 postdocs and 2 junior researchers working in RiverCare at 5 different universities in The Netherlands.
