    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Serena Bianchi; [2021]
    Keywords : stormwater treatment; metal removal; adsorption; reactive filter media; sand filtration; Petrit-T; Polonite; D-Rainclean; Filtralite-P; de-icing salt; pressure drop; filter clogging; rening av dagvatten; avl ̈agsnande av metaller; adsorption; reaktiva filterme- dier; sandfiltrering; Petrit-T; Polonite; D-Rainclean; Filtralite-P; avisningssalt; tryckfall; filterstoppning;

    Abstract : The increasing highway traffic is leading to higher and higher levels of pollutants in the stormwater, such as suspended solids, metals, oils, nutrients and PAH. This runoff water causes the degradation of water bodies quality, leading to increased interest in the treatment of highway runoff for the removal of contaminants. READ MORE

  4. 13. Modelling of stormwater treatment in biofilters using MIKE+ : Possibilities and limitations

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Cecile Bouju; [2021]
    Keywords : Biofilter; Raingarden; Stormwater treatment; Stormwater management; Hydrological modelling; MIKE ; ECO Lab; Biofilter; Växtbädd; Dagvattenrening; Dagvattenhantering; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE ; ECO Lab;

    Abstract : As research has expanded on the environmental impact of stormwater on receiving ecosystems more focus is now being put on the quality issues of stormwater. Biofilters are one of many nature-based solutions that have been developed for that purpose and are also the subject of this study. READ MORE

  5. 14. Blågröngrå system i kallt klimat

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Jennika Jädernäs; Erika Tjernberg; [2021]

    Abstract : Det finns stora möjligheter och behov att kombinera urbaniseringens markanspråk med grön urban infrastruktur och i det arbetet säkra en hållbar dagvattenhantering. Att som landskapsarkitekt arbeta med detta är viktigt eftersom markanspråken ökar mängden hårdgjorda ytor i städer vilket samtidigt reducerar grön urban infrastruktur. READ MORE

  6. 15. A valuation of ecosystem services from blue-green infrastructure for stormwater management

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sofia Anderzon; [2021]
    Keywords : Stormwater; blue-green infrastructure; urban ecosystem services; indicators; semi-quantitative valuation; Dagvatten; dagvattenhantering; blågrön infrastruktur; urbana ekosystemtjänster; indikatorer; semi-kvantitativ värdering;

    Abstract : The ongoing urbanization leads to densification and growth of cities, which replaces natural areas with hard surfaces. Precipitation is then more likely to runoff as stormwater than to be detained locally. Also, precipitation is predicted to be increasing as an effect of climate change. READ MORE
