1. Bluegreengrey (BGG) solution for future climate and flood-resilient urban drainage network by enhancing the natural hydrological cycle
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : A loop of urbanization, increasing impervious surface in urban areas, increasing temperature, rainfall, surface runoff and flooding, and lack of new spaces have been adding challenges to urban drainage systems for decades. The climate change impacts are exposing the existing vulnerable conventional urban drainage systems to more challenges in the future. READ MORE

4. Timber pile-supported road embankment : Numerical and analytical analysis of field monitoring project E4 Råneå
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/GeoteknologiAbstract : The previous E4 Råneå road embankment was prone to flooding. Risk of flooding in combination with settlements of the road due to the weak underlying sulphide soil was problematic. The Swedish Transportation Administration improved the length section E4 Råneå by rebuilding the road using the method light embankment piling. READ MORE

5. Wave Damping by Vegetation at Bunkeflo Salt Meadows - Applying an empirical model based on plant biomass
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : Future sea level rise due to climate change increases the risk of coastal flooding and thus necessitates the building of dikes and other protective structures. Coastal vegetation can reduce the impact of waves on such structures by dissipating wave energy and hence reduce incoming wave heights. READ MORE
