1. 1. Kvillebäcken : analys och gestaltningsförslag - me[d]andra strukturer och processer

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

   Author : Louise Stigsson Rigné; Emil Vernersson; [2024]
   Keywords : Urbanekologi; landskapsarkitektur; hydrologi; vattendrag; naturbaserade lösningar; blågrön infrastruktur;

   Abstract : I byggandet av hållbara städer är utveckling av blågrön infrastruktur högaktuell, och inom detta faller stort fokus på utveckling av urbana vattendrags ekologi, vattenkvalitet, och förmåga att omhänderta konsekvenser av klimatförändringar. Få vattendrag uppnår miljökvalitetsnormerna, och platsspecifika utmaningar finns i varje vattendrag. READ MORE

3. 2. Hydraulic Modelling of Eurasian Beaver Structural Modifications: Implications for Evaluating their Contributions to Natural Flood Management in Scotland

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Maja Christina Pitcairn; [2023]
   Keywords : Beaver reintroduction; Scotland; Flood risk; Natural flood management; Hydraulic modelling.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The concurrent climate and biodiversity crises in Scotland necessitate the exploration of ecosystem-based adaptation to simultaneously address increased flood risk and the loss of native species. This research investigated the contributions of Eurasian beaver reintroductions to natural flood management in Scotland. READ MORE

4. 3. Impact of wetland restoration on river discharge - A case study of Bråån, Skåne, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Ardis Luda; [2023]
   Keywords : wetlands; wetland restoration; HYPE model; river discharge; Sweden; land use change; flooding; hydrological modeling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Land use change is a factor not often considered when modeling river discharge in regard to future flood risk. The restoration of wetlands is an ongoing land use change which affects water storage capacity in the soils of a catchment and could lead to lower flows in rivers. READ MORE

5. 4. FLOOD RESILIENCE 2.0 - Sustainable Urban Design Adaptation for Flood Resilience in Hamburg, Germany

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Shenol Shahin Ahmed; [2023]
   Keywords : Arts and Architecture;

   Abstract : This thesis project is aimed to answer the questions: What could be done to design areas for making them flood resilient? How can sustainable urban design be adapted to provide flood resilience while transforming an area into a more livable space? Starting with these questions, the past of Hamburg and existing situation have been analyzed, a research has been done about the floods, climate change and how other cities develop their strategies to minimize effects of these issues. With a holistic way, information about the site in Hamburg has been gathered to find out the current problems like connection issues, lack of public realm, non-attractive river front and outdated flood defenses.
