  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Influence of Infiltration Capacity and Antecedent Soil Moisture Conditions on Urban Pluvial Flooding

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Disa Barkefors; [2023]
    Keywords : Urban pluvial flood; 2D modelling; MIKE ; urban green area; soil moisture; Chicago Design Storm;

    Abstract : Urban pluvial floods occur during extreme rain events and both occurrence and magnitude of these floods are expected to increase. Preserving or constructing green areas in urban areas has been shown to mitigate and control these floods. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dam Failure Analysis of the Parteboda Hydropower Plant : A deterministic approach

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Magnus Simon Graf; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Despite all the benefits a dam can provide, hundreds of years of experience have shown the destructive forces that can be unleashed by dam failure. To carry out risk management and execute mitigative measures for a dam facility, it is first necessary to assess the incremental consequences of a potential dam failure. READ MORE

  5. 4. Assessment of a sediment management solution in a reservoir with a sluicing technique using a HEC-RAS 2D model : Case study of Andakílsá river in west Iceland

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emilía Sól Gudgeirsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : SediCon Sluicer; Andakílsá Hydropower Station; HEC-RAS 2D Sediment modelling; Sustainable sediment management; SediCon Sluicer; Andakílsá vattenkraftverk; HEC-RAS 2D Sediment Modellering; Hållbar sedimenthantering;

    Abstract : Sediment-related issues in reservoirs can often pose significant challenges to their operational effectiveness, sustainability, and environmental impact. Sustainable sediment management can help resolve these issues and extend the lifespan of dams. READ MORE

  6. 5. Estimation of flood risk and cost-effective mitigations : A case study in Tierp

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Anton Blomqvist; Stephanie The; [2023]
    Keywords : Flood risk assessment; EAD; CADSS; MIKE21;

    Abstract : Climate change is predicted to alter the rainfall patterns in the future, and extreme rain events with large rainfall volumes will become more frequent and intense which increases the flood risk. A clear trend can be seen, where more and more people decide to relocate from rural to urban areas. READ MORE
