  1. 11. Modelling flow detention through temporary storage in the landscape using Artificial Neural Networks - A case study of Lake Mälaren

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Arvid Wikström; [2008]
    Keywords : offshore technology; Flood mitigation; Eco-flooding; Flow detention modelling; Artificial Neural Networks; Lake Mälaren; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; soil mechanics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Several strategies can be used to mitigate flood risks, many of them involves construction of embankments around threatened locations or attempts to spread the flood wave in time and space. In this thesis, the effects of a mitigation strategy called eco-flooding are studied in the catchment of Lake Mälaren. READ MORE

  3. 12. Evaluation of using fine grain size Polonite® as sorbent for retaining phosphorus from wastewater.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Carl Nelin Jensen; [2008]
    Keywords : offshore technology; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; Miljöstudier; Environmental studies; Recycling of sorbent and nutrient; Polonite®; Wastewater treatment; Phosphorus reduction; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To avoid eutrofication and excessive algal bloms it is necessary to reduce the phosphorus contents in wastewater. Previous wastewater treatment systems often have a good process for phosphorus reduction but in general not the ability to recycle the material and phosphorus for further utilisation after its use in wastewater treatment.

  4. 13. Analysis of the rainfall-runoff pattern of a catchment with limited data to estimate the runoff potential. Case study: The Mefou sub basin in Cameroon

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Sylvester Kebila Bakoh; [2008]
    Keywords : offshore technology; Limited data; Swedish HBV model with limited data; Rainfall-runoff estimates; Environmental studies; Miljöstudier; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; soil mechanics; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Water resources management in a catchment requires the quantification of the water potential. This is usually achieved by the estimation of the hydrological and meteorological characteristics of the basin using observed data to carry out statistical estimates or for use in hydrological models.

  5. 14. Impact on the coastal areas of the Tanjung Tokong Land Reclamation Project, Penang, Malaysia - Effects on wave transformation, sediment transport, and coastal evolution

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Salwa Ramly; [2008]
    Keywords : wave transformation; sediment transport; land reclamation; coastal evolution; EBED Model; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; soil mechanics; offshore technology; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Rapid development in urban areas of maritime countries may need solutions to address scarcity of land for development and infrastructure. Land reclamation has been an option in many maritime countries, including in Malaysia to overcome this problem. READ MORE

  6. 15. Modelling the Impact of Small Reservoirs in the Upper East Region of Ghana.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Isaac Hagan; [2007]
    Keywords : offshore technology; White Volta River; WEAP Model; Small Reservoirs; Impact; Water Uses.; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Reservoirs are precious assets in semi arid and arid regions of the world. The Upper East Region of Ghana by virtue of its climatic condition is classified as a semi arid region. It has a total of 160 small reservoirs located on streams and rivers which are in the upstream of the Ghana portion of the Volta Basin. READ MORE
