  1. 21. Simulations of water balance conditions and cli-mate variability for Sustainable Agriculture and Energy in the Lower Rufiji Basin.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Rajabu Hamisi; [2013]
    Keywords : Adaptation; Agriculture; Climate Change; CoupModel; Hydropower; SWAT; Water Balance;

    Abstract : This study provides a long-term understanding of the impact of climate varia-bility and land use on seasonal water balance conditions for sustainable agricul-ture development, hydropower generation and ecosystem stability in the Lower Rufiji Basin. The severity of soil drought, extreme flooding and salinity intru-sion in the lower Rufiji floodplains are currently increasing smallholder poverty and enhance the sensitivity on the natural wetlands for shifting farming and livestock pastures.

  3. 22. Salinity Intrusion into the Maha Oya Estuary and Associated Coastal Waterway

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Don Clerance Denzil Weerakkody; [2012]
    Keywords : the Maha Oya; Salinity intrusion; stratified flow; time-varying model; two-layer model; salt water wedge.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The Maha Oya (river) originates in the Kandy district of Sri Lanka and travels about 130 km passing four districts to reach the sea at Kochchikade in Sri Lanka. It holds the 3rd largest average annual runoff among the 103 of distinct river basins in Sri Lanka. Its contribution as a fresh water source is of great significance. READ MORE

  4. 23. Dynamics of color and organic carbon within the Mälaren catchment : a modeling approach

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Jose Luis Jiménez Ledesma; [2011]
    Keywords : DOC; TOC; organic carbon; water color; water treatment; water pollution; modeling; Mälaren; INCA; HBV;

    Abstract : Lake Mälaren, located in eastern Sweden, supplies water for drinking use to more than two million people in Stockholm and the surroundings. Water quality is generally rather good; although concern has been raised in the last years due to observed increasing trends in both color and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in other surface waters in Scandinavia.

  5. 24. Long-term Trend of Evapotranspiration in Sweden Affected by Climate Change or Land-use Change.

    University essay from KTH/Biogeofysik

    Author : Wenxin Zhang; [2011]
    Keywords : Evapotranspiration; Rainfall-runoff; CoupModel; HBV; Climate change; land-use change;

    Abstract : Evapotranspiration (ET) is an essential component of water cycle as it is an interlinkage between atmosphere, vegetation and soil surface in terms of energy and water balance. However, whether potential ET has the same tendency to change as actual ET and how ET trend (based on the difference between precipitation and runoff) is directly driven by dominant meteorological factors alone or combined with ecosystem‘s feedbacks to climate change (like land-use change) is still under the discussion.

  6. 25. Simulation of the Paris 1910 flood with a lumped hydrological model: the influence of frozen soil.

    University essay from KTH/Vattendragsteknik

    Author : Yohann Tondu; [2011]
    Keywords : Paris 1910 flood; Lumped hydrological model; Rainfall-Runoff model; Frost;

    Abstract : In 1910, Paris experienced its biggest flood in the 20th century. In 2010, for the anniversary of this event – supposed to happen every 100 years ! – the flood prediction model that is now used on the Seine basin was tested on its simulation,… and failed to reproduce the observed flood volume.
