  1. 26. Behind the early warning: Improving impact-based forecasting of riverine floods in Malawi using passive microwave remote sensing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lone Mokkenstorm; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Early Warning; Riverine Floods; Humanitarian Work; Impact-based Forecasting; Malawi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates whether freely available, coarse-resolution, Passive Microwave Remote Sensing (PMRS) data (37 GHz) can be effectively used for early warning systems for floods in Malawi. The Shire River Basin in Chikwawa and the smaller-scale North Rukuru River Basin in Karonga were studied using two alternative, ratio-based satellite indices that make use of the signal difference between wet and dry pixel cells: The m index and the rcmc index.

  4. 28. Identifying factors that correlate with Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal upsets at Lundåkraverket

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Rounak Niranjan; [2021]
    Keywords : Enhanced biological phosphorus removal; polyphosphate accumulating organisms; glycogen accumulating organisms; sludge content in aeration basin; nitrates in aeration basin; pH of incoming water; principal component analysis; pairwise correlations; inhibition factors;

    Abstract : The Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) process is characterized as the most sustainable process to remove phosphorus from wastewater albeit with high variability in performance efficiency. Thus, unpredictable upsets in the EBPR system is the norm across several wastewater treatment plants throughout Sweden, forcing the hand of the operators to dose higher volume of chemicals to reach the effluent requirements.

  5. 29. Application of HEC-HMS modelling on River Storån,Model evaluation and analysis of the processes by using soil moisture accounting loss method

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Pooja Makki Vijayaprakash; [2021]
    Keywords : River Storån; HEC-HMS; SMA; streamflow; baseflow; evapotranspiration; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : River Storån, a major tributary of Lake Bolmen which is a source of fresh water to Skåne county of Sweden is found to alter the color of water in the lake due to the presence of natural organic matter. Hence it is of utmost importance to study the river to understand the dynamics of generation and flow of water from the river to the lake. READ MORE

  6. 30. "WE ARE FIGHTING A WATER WAR" : The Character of the Upstream States and Post-Treaty Transboundary Water Conflict in Afghanistan and India
