6. 5. 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
