Kraijenhoff van de Leur Laboratorium voor Water- en Sedimentdynamica

Straight flume

The straight flume has an effective length of 13.6 m and an internal width of 2.6 m. The flume features a sediment catch, which can be connected to the sediment pump for recirculation of sediment.

Tilting flume

The tilting flume is a 1.2 m wide tilting flume, with an effective length of 14.4 m. The flume has sediment catch at the downstream end, and a sediment pump for recirculation of bed material.

Rainfall simulator

To test the impact of a raindrop on a soil surface and test the vulnerability of a soil type to overland flow and erosion, a rainfall simulator has been installed.
