1. Expectations and reality of sustainable stormwater management : A review of implementation of Nature-Based Solutions - A case study of Southern Stockholm
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : The shrinking of permeable areas in favour of urban development is a phenomenon described in both scientific literature and policy documents. Changes in rainfall intensity and frequency following climate change are expected, but predicting the exact magnitude of these changes remains unclear. READ MORE

2. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserAbstract : Due to the global warming and climate change, an increased frequency of high intensity rains and other disasters are expected all around the world. To predict this change in climate the IPCC has created a set of climate scenarios, RCPs, that will try to predict the future climate based on how much we are able to adapt and mitigate the effects we as a species have on the environment.

3. Evaluation of rainfall-runoff modelling data in Sebeya Catchment, Rwanda - Recommendations for improved flood hazard analysis
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : 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

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 teknikAbstract : 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

5. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.
