  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling the Water Table in a Bog

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Tobias Bowley; [2023]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Over the past five years, an ongoing study at INES, Lund University, have examined the encroachment of trees and vegetation into a bog ecosystem in northern Scania, Sweden. While several factors have been identified as contributing to this ecological transformation, including, nutrient availability, and climate, the hydrological aspect remains a key area of investigation.

  4. 3. Surface Runoff on Green Urban Areas : A study on driving forces behind surface runoff generaiton

    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

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. 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
