  1. 1. Social Stormwater : Treating the stormwater through blue-green social strategies in Hagsätra, Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

    Author : Linn Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Stormwater; social sustainability; stormwater management; rainwater; biodiversity; recreation;

    Abstract : This project is established on the following questions:  How can Stockholm adapt to increasing extreme rainfall events through combined stormwater drainage strategies?How can social sustainability be implemented in stormwater treatment?How can stormwater and social design educate the public about the importance of clean water bodies?  Global and national trends show that annual precipitation is increasing, and extreme weather events are becoming more common. Urban landscapes are more susceptible to cloudburst flooding due to impervious surfaces. READ MORE

  3. 2. The influence of spatial variations in rain intensity for cloudburst modelling : a case study of the Gävle cloudburst

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fanny Jeppsson Stahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Flood modelling; pluvial flooding; spatial variations in rain intensity; design storms; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM; 2D hydraulic modelling; Skyfallsmodellering; pluviala översvämningar; spatiala variationer i regnintensitet; typregn; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM;

    Abstract : With an intensification of heavy rain events in a changing climate and a rapid urbanization the risk for pluvial flooding is increasing in our societies. Pluvial flooding, which is formed when the rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration or drainage rate, can occur rapidly and cause great damages, large economic losses and possibly risk human lives.

  4. 3. How design storms with normally distributed intensities customized from precipitation radar data in Sweden affect the modeled hydraulic response to extreme rainfalls

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

    Author : Daniel Elfström; Max Stefansson; [2021]
    Keywords : cloudbursts; cloudburst mapping; spatial rain variation; pluvial flooding; hydraulic response; Swedish precipitation radar data; idealized urban catchment; hydrodynamic modeling; skyfall; skyfallskartering; gaussisk regnfördelning; spatial regnvariation; pluvial översvämning; hydraulisk respons; svensk nederbördsradardata; idealiserat urbant avrinningsområde; hydrodynamisk modellering;

    Abstract : Intense but short-term cloudbursts may cause severe flooding in urban areas. Such short-term cloudbursts mostly are of convective character, where the rain intensity may vary considerably within relatively small areas. Using uniform design rains where maximum intensity is assumed over the whole catchment is common practice in Sweden, though. READ MORE

  5. 4. Nutrients spreading with cloudburst modeling

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Nikita Smiyanov; [2020]
    Keywords : MIKE21; 2D-modeling; nutrients; phosphorus; nitrogen; cloudburst; land-use; MIKE21; 2D-modellering; närsalter; fosfor; kväve; skyfall; markanvändning;

    Abstract : Climate change and environmental disasters are strongly dependent. Humanity is facing considerable changes in environmental adaptions and remediation of contaminated sites. Water is a valuable resource that should be protected and prevented from hazardous influences. READ MORE
