  1. 41. Hydrological and hydrogeological consequences of rapid and large-scale urbanization

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI); Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Author : Archana Ema Akhilesh; [2018]
    Keywords : Rapid and large-scale urbanization; ArcGIS; HEC-HMS; surface runoff; surface infiltration.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Urbanization is a process where rural population move to urban places for better job opportunities and facilities. This is a natural process and more or less unavoidable. But when this process takes place rapidly and at large -scale, the urban cities will undergo various changes that will impact the environment. READ MORE

  3. 42. Evaluation of Seasonal Inflow Forecasting to Support Multipurpose Reservoir Management: A case study for the Upper Maule River Basin, Chile

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Johan Visser; [2017]
    Keywords : Seasonal Forecasting; Reservoir Management; Ensemble Streamflow Prediction; Downscaling; Maule; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Seasonal hydrological forecasts of future streamflow volumes can provide water resources managers with valuable information to improve long-term water resources planning and water use efficiency. The latest generation of coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models provides an opportunity for the prediction of hydroclimatic variables (e.g. READ MORE

  4. 43. Modeling the Interactions between Hydrological Extremes, Water Management and Society

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fabián Martínez; [2016]
    Keywords : Hydrology; Socio-Hydrology; Floods; Droughts; Modeling; Brisbane; Hydrologi; Sociohydrologi; Översvämning; Torka; Modellering; Brisbane;

    Abstract : Throughout history there has been a close relationship between hydrological and social processes. Most of early civilizations around the world developed thanks to the accessibility to rivers and their water resources. READ MORE

  5. 44. Quantifying relationships between X-ray imaged macropore structure and hydraulic conductivity

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Muhammad Arslan Ahmad; [2016]
    Keywords : critical pore diameter; modelling; pedotransfer functions; physics based approaches; SoilJ; 3-D visualization; soil characterization;

    Abstract : Computer based simulation models which estimate hydraulic properties of soil usually make use of statistical approaches such as multiple regressions that relate hydraulic properties to widely measured soil properties like textural fractions, organic matter content and bulk density. The problem is that hydraulic properties are usually only weakly correlated to these properties, because it is more strongly dependent on the characteristics of larger pores in the soil. READ MORE

  6. 45. Can the introduction of the topographic indices in LPJ-GUESS improve the spatial representation of environmental variables?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Alejandra Narváez Vallejo; [2016]
    Keywords : smooth topography; drainage area; slope; topographic wetness index; LPJ-GUESS; GIS; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; geography; geographic information systems; leaf area index; spatial patterns; MODIS LAI.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Ecosystem modelling is an always evolving science trying to catch the complexity of the nature and its principles to model environmental responses in a realistic way. Over and over, models try to introduce more variables and interactions to achieve better representations of phenomena of interest like the responses of the ecosystem to a fast changing world (climate change, land use change).
