  1. 11. Groundwater modelling of Färgaren 3 in Kristianstad - Simulations in MIKE SHE based on two extraction scenarios and different hydrogeological settings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Ekosystemteknik (CI)

    Author : Hanna Nordlander; [2015]
    Keywords : perchloroethene PCE ; MIKE SHE; Groundwater modeling; dry-cleaning business; contaminated soil; Kristianstad; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to describe the hydrogeology and the groundwater flow variations in the area around Färgaren 3 in Kristianstad. The site was occupied by a dry-cleaning business between the years 1906 and 1988 and is now heavily contaminated with the chlorinated solvent perchloroethene (PCE). READ MORE

  3. 12. Importance of dissolved organic carbon for transport of organic contaminants in groundwater

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

    Author : Lisa Söderberg; [2013]
    Keywords : modeling; FEFLOW; sorption; KDOC; phenanthrene; DEHP; modellering; FEFLOW; adsorption; KDOC; fenatren; DEHP;

    Abstract : The need of understanding transport processes of contaminants in groundwater has grownalong with the discovering of contamination of soil and groundwater due to industrialization.Mobility of an organic contaminant in the soil is affected by its partitioning to dissolvedorganic carbon, DOC.

  4. 13. Modeling for delineation of protection areas for shallow groundwater resources in peri-urban areas.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Ting Liu; [2012]
    Keywords : Shallow groundwater modeling; drain; COMSOL; ALE; Peri-urban; Contaminant; Large dimension;

    Abstract : Bwaise III in Kampala, Uganda is a densely populated informal settlement with a shallow groundwater table and inadequate basic services. High risk of groundwater contamination will bring health problem to the local residents. READ MORE

  5. 14. Impact on Soil and Groundwater from Road Maintenance and Traffic: Initial Study of the E18 Highway.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Robert Earon; [2011]
    Keywords : Geophysics; Resistivity; Hydrogeology; Contaminant Transport; Contaminant Distribution; Soil and Water Chemistry;

    Abstract : The investigation of environmental impacts of 16 different contaminants originating from the E18 Highway (17 000 AADT) were carried out over the first six months of the highway‘s operational life. Investigative methods used include electrical resistivity surveying, water chemistry analyses, soil analyses, distribution modelling and transportation modelling. READ MORE

  6. 15. Mass movements as contamination carriers in surface water systems : Swedish experiences and risks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Maria Åkesson; [2010]
    Keywords : contaminant mobilisation; surface water systems; mass movements; contaminant transport; natural hazard; Viskan; Klarälven; Ångermanälven; massrörelser; skred; ytvattensystem; föroreningsspridning; naturkatastrof; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Recent studies indicate a widespread but largely overlooked hazard of contaminant mobilisation and transport in connection to mass movement activity into surface water systems in Sweden. Concerns are exacerbated by predicted effects of climate change, which suggest national increases in rates of precipitation, pore water pressures, run -off, erosion and mass movement occurrence.
