1. 1. Storm Water Management with BlueGreen Infrastructure in Urban Planning : A case-study in Krokom, Sweden

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

   Author : Lena Suleiko Allansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainable drainage system SuDS ; nature-based solutions; ecosystem services; urban water management; climate change adaption;

   Abstract : As changing climate and growing urban populations present new challenges for managing both the quantity and the quality of storm waterin cities, nature-based solutions such as blue-green infrastructure arebecoming widely considered as an alternative to grey infrastructure. The benefits, above providing storm water management at a lower cost, are increased ecosystem services. 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. Estimation of flood risk and cost-effective mitigations : A case study in Tierp

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Anton Blomqvist; Stephanie The; [2023]
   Keywords : Flood risk assessment; EAD; CADSS; MIKE21;

   Abstract : Climate change is predicted to alter the rainfall patterns in the future, and extreme rain events with large rainfall volumes will become more frequent and intense which increases the flood risk. A clear trend can be seen, where more and more people decide to relocate from rural to urban areas. READ MORE

5. 4. Pluvial urban flooding in a densified Sweden : do sustainable flood management and densification fit together?

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Helena Arro; [2023]
   Keywords : urban flooding; pluvial urban flooding; sustainable urban flood management; technological fix; densification;

   Abstract : Pluvial urban flooding occurs in many parts of the world, including Sweden, often with severe consequences. Climate change and increased urbanization exacerbate the risk of urban flooding, and traditional urban drainage systems are unable to keep up. READ MORE

6. 5. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : David Ebert; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.
