  1. 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 teknik

    Author : Katarzyna Zofia Dziubanii; [2024]
    Keywords : Nature-based solutions; green infrastructure; ecosystem services; planning process; spatial planning; urban planning; stormwater management; sustainability; climate change mitigation; Naturbaserade lösningar; grön infrastruktur; ekosystemtjänster; planeringsprocess; fysisk planering; stadsplanering; dagvattenhantering; hållbarhet; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 2. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Andreas Brandow; [2023]
    Keywords : Urban indicators; Resilience; Urban flooding; Flood protection and mitigation; Luleå;

    Abstract : 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.

  4. 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 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

  5. 4. The future of flooding insurances : A qualitative review of how insurances regarding flood damage might change in the future of the insurance industry in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Kulturgeografiska institutionen

    Author : David Nyström; [2023]
    Keywords : Pluvial flooding; Insurance industry; GIS; Extreme weather; Climate change.;

    Abstract : Insurance companies are grappling with the rising frequency and severity of extreme weather-related flooding events, which currently pose the highest financial burden both in total and per individual case. The existing insurance model isn't economically sustainable if such events continue to increase. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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 teknik

    Author : Emilía Sól Gudgeirsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : SediCon Sluicer; Andakílsá Hydropower Station; HEC-RAS 2D Sediment modelling; Sustainable sediment management; SediCon Sluicer; Andakílsá vattenkraftverk; HEC-RAS 2D Sediment Modellering; Hållbar sedimenthantering;

    Abstract : 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
