  1. 21. Modelling water intrusion impacts on pollutant transport from a municipal solid waste landfill in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Aamir Ilyas; [2007]
    Keywords : Civil engineering; teknisk geografi; reactive transport models; PHREEQC; water intrusion; Environmental studies; offshore technology; Miljöstudier; Hydrogeology; geographical and geological engineering; teknisk geologi; Hydrogeologi; hydraulic engineering; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The landfills located at the sea shore or below the ground water table are a severe cause of concern due to their close proximity to sensitive coastal ecosystems and pristine ground waters. Therefore, it is important to assess the long term environmental risks of coastal landfills before their final closure. READ MORE

  4. 23. Water utilization in a river basin in the Lake Poopó region of Bolivia : problems and conflicts.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Anna Ekdahl; [2007]
    Keywords : teknisk geografi; teknisk geologi; Poopó; altiplano; Bolivia; water resources; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; water contamination; acid mine drainage; Hydrogeology; Hydrogeologi; geographical and geological engineering; offshore technology; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the distribution of hydrological resources over time and space in two sub basins of the Lake Poopó area in Bolivia. This investigation is made in order to evaluate how supply and demand can be balanced and what effect the insufficiency of hydrological resources has on the socio economic situation. READ MORE

  5. 24. Hydraulic Transient in a Pipeline (Using Computer Model to Calculate and Simulate Transient)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Mosab Elbashir; Samuel Amoah; [2007]
    Keywords : soil mechanics; offshore technology; Hydraulic Transient; Pipeline; Unsteady Flow; Computer Model; FORTRAN Language; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A hydraulic transient, which is a flow condition where the velocity and pressure change rapidly with time, can collapse a water distribution system if that system is not equipped with adequate transient protection device(s). The occurrence of transients can introduce large pressure forces and rapid fluid accelerations into a water distribution system and if the system is not well protected, it can fail. READ MORE

  6. 25. Extreme water levels and wave run-up in Falsterbo peninsula, Sweden - Future scenarios by extreme value analyses

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Meric Pakkan; [2006]
    Keywords : Civil engineering; teknisk geografi; water level; waves; Falsterbo; run-up; sea levels; future; offshore technology; global warming; Hydrogeology; geographical and geological engineering; teknisk geologi; Hydrogeologi; hydraulic engineering; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Located in the Baltic Sea coast, the study area, Falsterbo peninsula is in the south-west corner of Sweden and a very low-lying area, which makes it very vulnerable to a future sea-level rise phenomenon and wave action. High water levels and large waves and run-up heights in connection with the global warming can cause serious damages within the area, which is a very prestigious place regarding its location and all the facilities it holds.
