1. 16. Implementing Resuspension Potential Method to Optimise Mains Cleaning Program Case study: Yarra Valley Water, Melbourne, Australia

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Sandra Kjellberg; [2007]
   Keywords : discolouration; turbidity; Customer complaints; RPM; mains cleaning program; soil mechanics; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; offshore technology; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Routine cleaning of water mains is commonly employed by water utilities around the world as a proactive means of managing common water quality issues. When employed correctly, water mains cleaning can be effective in removing loosely deposited sediments and bio films that cause water discolouration, coliform regrowth and unpleasant tastes and odours.

3. 17. Impact of Coastal Erosion and Sedimentation along the Northern Coast of Sinai Peninsula

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Daniel Emanuelsson; Ali Mirchi; [2007]
   Keywords : hydraulic engineering; El Arish Harbor; El Arish Power Plant; Accretion; Erosion; GENESIS; Longshore Sediment Transport; Shoreline Change Modeling; Civil engineering; Sinai Peninsula; offshore technology; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Coastal engineering activities during the past five decades have resulted in considerable shoreline change along the northern coast of Sinai Peninsula. In the west of El Arish Power Plant, sediment accretion has reached the tip of the breakwater of the cooling water intake basin necessitating extensive dredging inside the basin. READ MORE

4. 18. Wave attenuation in stands of common reed(Phragmites australis) and its consequences on sediment resuspension

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Per Falås; [2007]
   Keywords : Phragmites australis; Sediment resuspension; Shallow lakes; Alternative stable states; Civil engineering; Stands of common reed; offshore technology; hydraulic engineering; Wave damping; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Common reed is found in near-shore areas of many European lakes, where it forms dense stands. As waves are influenced by obstacles along the wave path, water and sediment motions caused by waves are affected by these stands. READ MORE

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Bijan Khalili; [2007]
   Keywords : Civil engineering; teknisk geografi; teknisk geologi; Radar Altimetry; Synthetic Aperture Radar; Remote Sensing; Optical method; hydraulic engineering; Water Resource; GIS; Landsat; Hydrogeology; Hydrogeologi; geographical and geological engineering; offshore technology; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Incomati river basin is located in the continent of South Africa and is shared between three countries of Republic of Mozambique, Republic of South Africa, and the Kingdom of Swaziland. Located in a water-stressed region and shared between three countries it has importance in both sociopolitical and water scarcity aspect. READ MORE

6. 20. Impact of Summer Storms on Rainwater Collecting Lakes in Gansu, China

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Shirly Cheung; Martin Schjånberg; [2007]
   Keywords : Civil engineering; Computer simulations; Heavy rainstorms; SWMM; Stormwater; Man-made lakes; Floods; Tian Hu; hydraulic engineering; Xifeng; Gansu; China; Teknik; Technological sciences; offshore technology; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The rapid population growth in China during the last decades has put an enormous pressure on cultivation production and water supply. Many regions in China are therefore facing water scarcity and shortage of arable land. One of such regions is Gansu and it is considered as the driest and poorest province in China. READ MORE
