  1. 1. Brownification in a small stream originating from a peatland - A case study from Ryds Å in south Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Emelie Ström; Frida Karlsson Öhman; [2024]
    Keywords : Brownification; Peatland; Bolmen; DOM; Water Quality; Inflow; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Brunifiering syftar till en process där vattnet blir brunare på grund av ökade halter av naturligt organiskt material och järn, vilket innebär utmaningar för miljön och människor. Sjön Bolmen i södra Sverige har problem med brunare vatten. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hydraulic Modelling of Eurasian Beaver Structural Modifications: Implications for Evaluating their Contributions to Natural Flood Management in Scotland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Maja Christina Pitcairn; [2023]
    Keywords : Beaver reintroduction; Scotland; Flood risk; Natural flood management; Hydraulic modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises in Scotland necessitate the exploration of ecosystem-based adaptation to simultaneously address increased flood risk and the loss of native species. This research investigated the contributions of Eurasian beaver reintroductions to natural flood management in Scotland. READ MORE

  4. 3. Optimal Discharge from a Hydropower Plant for Fish Reproduction: An Aquatic Habitat Model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Hugo Lindbäck; [2023]
    Keywords : Weighted Usable Area WUA ; minimitappning; HEC-RAS; salmo; Helge å; den nationella planen för omprövning av vattenkraft NAP ; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hydropower is the dominant source of electricity in Sweden, constituting 45% of the national supply. While pivotal for decarbonization and climate goals, its environmental impact on freshwater biodiversity is concerning. READ MORE

  5. 4. Combining Continuous and Event-based Hydrological Modeling in Kävlinge River Basin with HEC-HMS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Wenli Hu; [2022]
    Keywords : HEC-HMS; SCS-CN; Climate Change; GIS; Flood; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Prediction of flood and evaluation of the impact of climate change in a catchment needs to be correctly estimated, which can be accomplished by hydrological modelling in HEC-HMS. In this paper, the objectives were to gain an understanding of the rainfall-runoff process and estimate the flood frequency curve in the Kävlinge River Basin. READ MORE

  6. 5. Impact of Extreme River Flows on Bridges An Application to River Lagan in Ljungby Municipality, Sweden Using HEC RAS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Assad Mohammad Tahir; [2022]
    Keywords : HEC RAS; Extreme River Flow; River Bridges; Ljungby; Lagan; Climate Change.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The role of bridges in the transportation network has become increasingly important as they ensure the smooth and safe passage of people and goods across rivers and other bodies of water. Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) Hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at the pier and abutment, including contraction scour.
