  1. 1. Grönblå skyfallshantering : en fallstudie om skyfallsskydd för befintliga byggnader i Stockholm

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

    Author : Sandra Andersson; Frida Helander; [2023]
    Keywords : skyfall; skyfallskartering; urban dagvattenhantering; grönblå infrastruktur; översvämning; SCALGO Live;

    Abstract : På senare år har skyfall skapat översvämningar globalt, och mer frekvent i Sverige än tidigare. Dessa översvämningar har orsakat stora skador på hus och infrastruktur. Det har blivit viktigare att skapa klimatresilienta städer och det händer mycket inom området. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Influence of Infiltration Capacity and Antecedent Soil Moisture Conditions on Urban Pluvial Flooding

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Disa Barkefors; [2023]
    Keywords : Urban pluvial flood; 2D modelling; MIKE ; urban green area; soil moisture; Chicago Design Storm;

    Abstract : Urban pluvial floods occur during extreme rain events and both occurrence and magnitude of these floods are expected to increase. Preserving or constructing green areas in urban areas has been shown to mitigate and control these floods. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. The influence of infiltration and rain intensity on an urban pluvial flood model : A case study of a catchment in Malmö municipality

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emma van Heek; Ellen Persson; [2023]
    Keywords : Urban pluvial flooding; hydraulic model; type event; infiltration; runoff coefficient; Urban pluvial översvämning; hydraulisk modell; typ-regn; infiltration; avrinningskoefficient;

    Abstract : Urban pluvial floods have become more and more common in Europe. These floods have resulted in high costs for society, increasing the interest in conducting hydraulic flood models. This in order to prepare and minimise the consequences of these flood events. READ MORE

  6. 5. How variations of the duration and time to peak of the Chicago Design Storm affect the hydraulic response, as well as the areas contributing to peak runoff, of a synthetic urban catchment area

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Oskar Ahlstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Avrinningsområde; översvämningsmodellering; peak-bidragande område; hydrograf; hyetograf; MIKE 21; regnintensitet; CDS-regn; Chicago Design Storm;

    Abstract : With an expanding urbanization in the world, and thus the expansion of impermeable surfaces, the risk of pluvial floods is an increasing factor that needs to be considered. This, in combination with increasing rain intensities and frequency of rain events indicates a problem both today and for the future. READ MORE
