   Abstract : Dams play an important role in our society, but their negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems have led to a need for conservation efforts to mitigate the negative effects. In some instances, dam removal has been suggested to be the most economically and ecologically beneficial restoration method to improve longitudinal connectivity. READ MORE

3. 7. Water quality improvement of highway runoff by the filter material D-Rainclean : A five-month field trial

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : William Gulding; [2023]
   Keywords : Adsorption; D-Rainclean; metal removal; Reactive filter; stormwater treatment;

   Abstract : Highway runoff and its pollutants are of growing concern. These pollutants require treatment as their concentration often are increased. A common removal method is the use of sedimentation ponds that removes particulates through gravity. READ MORE

4. 8. Dynamic Warning Signals and Time Lag Analysis for Seepage Prediction in Hydropower Dams : A Case Study of a Swedish Hydropower Plant

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

   Author : Lovisa Olsson; Julia Hellström; [2023]
   Keywords : hydropower; dam safety; dam monitoring; seepage; prediction models; data-driven methods; artificial intelligence; AI;  linear regression; Support Vector Regression; SVR; Long Short-Term Memory; LSTM;

   Abstract : Hydropower is an important energy source since it is fossil-free, renewable, and controllable. Characteristics that become especially important as the reliance on intermittent energy sources increases. However, the dams for the hydropower plants are also associated with large risks as a dam failure could have fatal consequences. READ MORE

5. 9. Fish Friendly Turbines forDownstream Migration : Literature review and case studies

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Abstract : As the energy consumption is constantly increasing, the demand of renewable energy is increasing too. Thirtythree percent of the renewable energy production in Europe constitutes of hydropower. Hydropower is animportant energy source as it has stabilizing and storing functions, but it heavily affects biodiversity. READ MORE

6. 10. Dam Failure Analysis of the Parteboda Hydropower Plant : A deterministic approach

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Magnus Simon Graf; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Despite all the benefits a dam can provide, hundreds of years of experience have shown the destructive forces that can be unleashed by dam failure. To carry out risk management and execute mitigative measures for a dam facility, it is first necessary to assess the incremental consequences of a potential dam failure. READ MORE
