  1. 16. Green Roof Performance in Cold Climates : A study on how different plants suited for the subarctic climate in northernSweden affects the performances of green roofs

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Jonathan Hjelm; [2019]
    Keywords : Stormwater; Green roofs; Cold climate; Stormwater management;

    Abstract : Increased urbanization leads to an increasing amount of impervious surfaces and a decrease ofthe natural hydrological function. Urban stormwater does thus risk to create high surface flows which could damage the receiving water bodies (e.g. erosion) or the urban area itself (flooding). READ MORE

  3. 17. Runoff modelling and assessment of treatment wetland performance using a triangular form based multiple flow algorithm

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Clara Hübinger; [2019]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Eutrophication is one of the biggest threats to aquatic ecosystems. As nutrient load increases in marine environments in the Öresund and Baltic Sea and dead zones grow, Swedish municipalities further their efforts in limiting the amount of nutrients delivered into those environments.

  5. 19. Techno-economic evaluation of a floating PV system for a wastewater treatment facility

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Bruno Paixão Martins; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : An increasing capacity of floating photovoltaic technology (FPV) has been deployed in the past five years, showing an alternative to countries with small surface areas to take advantage of man-made water bodies to install solar power. Furthermore, regions where land area is primarily geared towards other uses such as agriculture or are located in large urban centers are also a target for these installations, as land costs tend to be a relevant share of the investment on a solar energy project.

  6. 20. Possibilities for removal of micropollutants in small-scale wastewater treatment - methods and multi-criteria analysis

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Anqi Li; [2018]
    Keywords : pharmaceuticals; column experiment; removal efficiency; absorbents;

    Abstract : The quality of worlds’ water resources is facing new challenges, for instance detectable concentration of various trace contaminants under the term micropollutants is discharging into water bodies from both municipal wastewater treatment plants and from on-site wastewater facilities. A project called RedMic aim at identifying and quantifying emissions of micropollutants from on-site wastewater treatments as a basis for providing innovative treatment technologies to reduce potential risks for groundwater and surface water contamination.
