  1. 1. Evaluation of rainfall-runoff modelling data in Sebeya Catchment, Rwanda - Recommendations for improved flood hazard analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Anna Ebbersten; [2023]
    Keywords : Rwanda; Sebeya; hydrological modelling; rainfall-runoff; catchment; HEC-HMS; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Rwanda has experienced an increase in the frequency of riverine floods since the mid 2000s, and the future impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle is uncertain. Flood hazard analysis is one tool used to reduce flood risks; the analysis is often based on models which requires hydrological and meteorological data. READ MORE

  3. 2. Quantification of peat volume change in Northern peatlands : A study of mires capacity to swell and shrink and its relation to mire age and land management

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

    Author : Anna Engman; [2022]
    Keywords : peatland; peat volume change; ecohydrology; specific storage; peatland age; torvmark; myr; torvvolymförändring; ekohydrologi; specifik magasinkoefficient; ålder;

    Abstract : Peatlands are important ecosystems that provide ecohydrological functions related to carbon storage and cycling, water quality, flood attenuation, and groundwater recharge. One key characteristic that gives peatlands these functions is the capacity to swell and shrink upon wetting and drying, commonly referred to as peat volume change. READ MORE

  4. 3. Using leaf economics to find appropriate woody species for rain gardens
