    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

  4. 3. Assessment of future climate and land use changes on streamflow and phosphorus transport in a Swedish agricultural catchment

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Clara Laguna Marin; [2022]
    Keywords : surface water modelling; phosphorus; suspended sediment; climate change scenarios; socio-economic scenarios; INCA-PEco;

    Abstract : Despite efforts to reduce nutrient excess in surface waters in the last decades, eutrophication continues to be an important environmental problem in Europe. The presence of excess phosphorus (P) in waters, together with nitrogen (N), is one of its main causes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sediment transport in small streams is related to riparian buffer width : a comparison between wide and narrow riparian buffers

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Rasmus Staaf; [2022]
    Keywords : Riparian Zone; Protective Zone; Headwater Stream; Forestry; Clear – cut Harvest; Organic Sediment; Inorganic Sediment; Near Stream Logging;

    Abstract : This study aims to provide information about how different widths of riparian buffers affect the quantity and quality of sediments transported in a small stream after a clear – cut harvest. Small streams have critical influences on downstream rivers and excessive transported sediments can have large negative effects on the aquatic system. READ MORE

  6. 5. Longshore Sediment Transport Along the Coast of Ystad Municipality

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Isa Berin; Johanna Jacobson Löwdin; [2022]
    Keywords : Coastal erosion; sediment dynamics; longshore sediment transport; CERC; shoreline change; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The coast of Ystad municipality has historically been subject to erosion, leading to the loss of recreational areas and near-beach structures, consequently resulting in the implementation of mitigating measures. With the ongoing climate change, erosion is expected to continue. READ MORE
