1. 1. Impact of wetland restoration on river discharge - A case study of Bråån, Skåne, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Ardis Luda; [2023]
   Keywords : wetlands; wetland restoration; HYPE model; river discharge; Sweden; land use change; flooding; hydrological modeling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Land use change is a factor not often considered when modeling river discharge in regard to future flood risk. The restoration of wetlands is an ongoing land use change which affects water storage capacity in the soils of a catchment and could lead to lower flows in rivers. READ MORE

3. 2. Characterization of Landscape Structures and Precipitation in relation to Flooding events in Pampa Deprimida : A Minor Field Study in Argentina

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

   Author : Linnea Svärd; [2023]
   Keywords : Pampeana hydrology; flood risk mapping; runoff; infiltration; precipitation; SCSCN; remote sensingg; Hydrologi på Pampas; kartläggning av översvämningsrisker; avrinning; infiltration; nederbörd; SCS-CN; fjärranalys; Hidrología de la Pampa Deprimida; cartografía del riesgo de inundaciones; escorrentía; infiltración; precipitación; SCS-CN; sensores remotos;

   Abstract : The purpose of the thesis is to characterize flood events within the agricultural fields of flooding Pampa in Argentina. The characterization divides the flat landscape into flood prone areas and endeavour at linking driving factors to flood response based on past events. READ MORE

4. 3. Översvämningar i urbana miljöer : och hur de kan motverkas

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Munib Mehović; [2022]
   Keywords : flooding; strategies; urban planning; sea level rises; Varberg;

   Abstract : I takt med att miljöförändringar blir ett alltmer påtagligt problem för människan, riskerar urbana områden vid kusten att bli känsligare för extremväder och inte minst för översvämningar. Städer som löper risk för att drabbas av översvämningar måste utveckla strategier för att motverka skador på infrastrukturer och säkerställa allmänhetens trygghet. READ MORE

5. 4. The influence of spatial variations in rain intensity for cloudburst modelling : a case study of the Gävle cloudburst

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Fanny Jeppsson Stahl; [2022]
   Keywords : Flood modelling; pluvial flooding; spatial variations in rain intensity; design storms; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM; 2D hydraulic modelling; Skyfallsmodellering; pluviala översvämningar; spatiala variationer i regnintensitet; typregn; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM;

   Abstract : With an intensification of heavy rain events in a changing climate and a rapid urbanization the risk for pluvial flooding is increasing in our societies. Pluvial flooding, which is formed when the rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration or drainage rate, can occur rapidly and cause great damages, large economic losses and possibly risk human lives.

6. 5. The fund seeking road map : A tool to help finance Nature-based Solutions

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Carrie Malone Friedman; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Nature-based Solutions are gaining traction as a concept both in academia and in practice. However, creating a business case and seeking funding for NbS remains a significant obstacle in many cases. One ongoing project that works on addressing this challenge is the Horizon 2020 funded Conexus project. READ MORE
