  1. 1. Climate change adaptation and sea level rise : A comparative analysis of municipal climate change adaptation progress in southern Sweden

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekoteknik- och hållbart byggande

    Author : Sebastian Segge; [2022]
    Keywords : Lista:Sea level rise; climate change adaptation; municipal governance; municipal planning;

    Abstract : Global mean sea levels are expected to have increased with 0,43-0,84 meters by the year 2100, due to the effects of climate change. An observed increase in the speed of which sea levels are rising is further cause for concern for inhabitants of coastal communities, as threats of flooding, erosion and saltwater intrusion rapidly become more imminent, prompting protective adaptation measures to be considered.

  3. 2. Effectiveness of Barrier Well by Pumping Ratio Control for Saltwater Intrusion: Lab-Scale Experiments and Numerical Modeling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Shinichi Ozaki; [2021]
    Keywords : Saltwater intrusion; Barrier well; Pumping ratio control; Production well; salinity-affected coastal aquifer; Critical groundwater pumping ratio; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Saltwater intrusion is the most challenging problem in coastal regions. To prevent saltwater intrusion, saltwater pumping from a barrier well is widely applied, which is a direct abstraction of intruded saltwater from a coastal aquifer. Owing to its easy installation, many studies have been carried out. READ MORE
