1. 6. A two-stage ditch – a source or sinks of nutrients and sediment : evaluation of sediment loss and inundation frequency

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Sheryl Ilao Åström; [2021]
   Keywords : Two-stage ditch; geomorphology; inundation frequency; channel evolution; water quality; agricultural ditch;

   Abstract : Human-made channel systems in the agricultural landscape have received critical attention due to the dire consequences on water quality and increasing eutrophication polluting receiving aquatic systems. Trapezoidal-formed (traditional) ditches have been scrutinized and a new mitigation measure for channelized drainage systems has gained a great deal of attention i. READ MORE

3. 7. Efforts for eutrophication mitigation on the Santa Lucía River Basin: farmers’ experiences, attitudes and motivations

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Juan Hordenana; [2020]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Eutrophication; Mitigation; Best Management Practices; Farmers; BMP adoption;

   Abstract : Anthropogenic eutrophication has become an issue of foremost importance in water bodies all around the globe. Nutrients coming from agricultural activities have been identified as one main contributor to this problem. Technologies and inovations (Best Management Practices, BMPs) have been designed for mitigating agricultural impact on water bodies. READ MORE

4. 8. Optimizing the design of two-stage ditches to improve nutrient and sediment retention

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Sofia Englund; [2020]
   Keywords : eutrophication; water quality; mitigation measure; two-stage ditch; retention time; water retention; nutrients; sediments; vegetation; terrace; HEC-RAS; Manning’s coefficient; water level; climate change; övergödning; vattenkvalitet; begränsande åtgärd; tvåstegsdike; retentionstid; vattenretention; näringsämnen; sediment; vegetation; terrass; HEC-RAS; Manning’s koefficient; vattennivå; klimatförändring;

   Abstract : Negative effects on water quality are created by eutrophication of the world’s water resources. Mitigation measures have been implemented, but poor improvements in water quality have been observed. Two-stage ditches have the possibility to increase nutrient and sediment retention to reduce eutrophication in receiving water bodies. READ MORE

5. 9. Is blue mussel farming a potential mitigation tool to combat eutrophication in the Baltic Sea? A synthesis based on stakeholder interviews

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Emilija Zilinskaite; [2019]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Baltic Sea; Baltic Sea Region; eutrophication; blue mussel farming; circular economy;

   Abstract : The Baltic Sea is the most polluted sea in the world. Its hydrological conditions and ongoing eutrophication are a high threat for marine biodiversity and ecosystems. Additionally, eutrophication has negative effects on the wellbeing of countries and their societies in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). READ MORE

6. 10. Causes and impact of surface water pollution in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
