  1. 1. Effects of Maintenance on the Efficiency of NBS for Urban Flood Management

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Julia Markström; [2023]
    Keywords : Stormwater management; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Maintenance; Efficiency; Runoff volume reduction; Dagvattenhantering; Natur-baserade lösningar; Underhåll; Effektivitet; Dagvattenreducering;

    Abstract : As rain events are likely to intensify and the proportion of impervious areas in cities increases, greater demands are put on stormwater management. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have become more popular over the past decades to be integrated into the stormwater strategy in order to reduce the volume of runoff in cities. READ MORE

  3. 2. Bluegreengrey (BGG) solution for future climate and flood-resilient urban drainage network by enhancing the natural hydrological cycle

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Adnan Asif Rifat; [2023]
    Keywords : Bluegreengrey; Sustainable stormwater; Basement flooding; Urban flooding; Pipe Network; BGG; Climate change; Hydrology; Mike .; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A loop of urbanization, increasing impervious surface in urban areas, increasing temperature, rainfall, surface runoff and flooding, and lack of new spaces have been adding challenges to urban drainage systems for decades. The climate change impacts are exposing the existing vulnerable conventional urban drainage systems to more challenges in the future. READ MORE

  4. 3. Impact of Stormwater reuse (Rainwater Harvesting) in areas with combined sewer network

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Roaa Hamid; [2019]
    Keywords : Rainwater harvesting; rooftop runoff; Combined Sewer Runoff- CSO; Toilet Flushing; Garden Irrigation;

    Abstract : Due to the combined effect of intense rainfall events together with the expected impact of climate change, this will put pressure on the existing and future infrastructure for storm water management. One of the challenges related to this is the combined sewer system which is still operating in large areas of many cities worldwide. READ MORE

  5. 4. Increased leaching of metals as a result of foundation work
