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

    Author : Erik Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Surface runoff; Hydrus; Urban green area; Soil Moisture;

    Abstract : Recent flooding events, such as the one in Germany 2021 have caused irreversible damages to infrastructure and lives. The aftermath of events like these have underlined the importance of an accurate risk management by predicting them in urban areas. READ MORE

  3. 2. Soil compaction and the effect on infiltration in urban green environments : A study based on field measurements and HYDRUS 1D modelling

    University essay from

    Author : Anastasia Novikova; [2023]
    Keywords : HYDRUS; surface runoff; soil compaction; urban environments;

    Abstract : The consequences of recent flooding and extreme rain events have highlighted the importance of proper urban planning and preventative measures for storm water management. As cities become more urbanized the significance of permeable surfaces such as parks and other urban green spaces increases which infiltrate the water into the ground. READ MORE

    Abstract : The objective of this study was to assess the rainwater infiltration process in the unsaturated zone in an alluvial plain. Particularly, this study is focused on the Chocaya basin in central Bolivia. READ MORE

  5. 4. Nanoplastic transport in soils by advection and bioturbation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Wiebke Mareile Heinze; [2019]
    Keywords : column leaching; attachment efficiency; exposure; mixing rates; modelling;

    Abstract : Micro- and nanoplastics are increasingly perceived as an emerging threat to ecosystems. They are emitted to soils through different pathways, including sewage sludge or compost applications in agriculture, or through tire abrasion and degradation of mismanaged waste. READ MORE

  6. 5. Hydrus-1D as a tool to understand contamination of an aquifer: A case study in the Central Valley of Cochabamba

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi

    Author : Theo Nyberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In water resource management, it is of importance to be able to predict how different activities might contaminate aquifers. For this kind of application, numerical modelling of water and solute transport can be a useful tool. READ MORE
