  1. 11. Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage : Impact on groundwater chemistry

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Julian Kolesnik Lindgren; [2018]
    Keywords : aquifer thermal energy storage; ATES; groundwater; groundwater chemistry;

    Abstract : Groundwater is potentially a useful source for storing and providing thermal energy to the built environment. In a nordic context, aquifer thermal energy storage, (ATES) has not been subject to a wider extent of research concerning environmental impact. READ MORE

  3. 12. SMOS satellite hardware anomaly prediction methods based on Earth radiation environment data sets

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Aleksi Walden; [2016]
    Keywords : SMOS; Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity; satellite; MIRAS; Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis; ESAC; hardware anomaly; prediction; radiation environment;

    Abstract : SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) is ESA's Earth Explorer series satellite carrying the novel MIRAS (Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis) interferometric synthetic aperture radar. Its objective is monitoring and studying the planet's water cycle by following the changes in soil moisture levels and ocean surface salt concentrations on a global scale. READ MORE

  4. 13. Ecosystem Services Based Evaluation Framework of Land-use Management Options for Dryland Salinity in the Avon Region, Western Australian Wheatbelt

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Klara Zoe Kleplova; [2014]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Sustainable Land Use; Ecosystem Resilience; Ecosystem Services Evaluation; Double-counting; Dryland Salinity;

    Abstract : Dryland-salinity management options aim to positively influence the adverse human-induced processes which lead to salinisation of top-soil. Specifically, the processes causing dryland-salinity are rising saline groundwater table and soil erosion. READ MORE

  5. 14. Water Situation In China - Crisis Or Business As Usual?

    University essay from Industriell miljöteknik

    Author : Elaine Leong; [2013]
    Keywords : water; water crisis; water pollution; China; Yangtze River; Yellow River; Huai River; Hai River; Tarim River; Pearl River; Falkenmark Water Scarcity Index; Global threats to human water security and river biodiversity; Physical and economic water scarcity index; Water stress indicator taking environmental water requirements into account; Heihe River; China s future water demand; China s water future;

    Abstract : Several studies indicates China is experiencing a water crisis, were several regions are suffering of severe water scarcity and rivers are heavily polluted. On the other hand, water is used inefficiently and wastefully: water use efficiency in the agriculture sector is only 40% and within industry, only 40% of the industrial wastewater is recycled.

  6. 15. Salt transfer under irrigation with treated wastewater in semi-arid Tunisia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Hanna Lundqvist; Emma Nilsson; [2013]
    Keywords : Soil salinity; Tunisia; irrigation; EM38; treated wastewater; agriculture; soil salinity assessment; ECe; ESAP.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A continuously growing population in the world has resulted in more agricultural activity in arid- and semi-arid areas where it once was harder to cultivate crops. Due to the high evaporation and the lack of rainfall in these areas it is necessary to irrigate the fields. READ MORE
