  1. 6. Developing a Rainfall-Runoff Routing Model using  Spatially Distributed Travel Times : Modelling a Cloudburst Event in an Urban Catchment

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Sara Ekeroth; [2022]
    Keywords : Excess rainfall; Runoff routing; Cloud burst; Pluvials; GIS; ArcPy; Effektiv nederbörd; Avrinningsmodell; Skyfall; Pluviala översvämningar; Geodata; ArcPy;

    Abstract : The future holds challenges for urban areas when it comes to handling pluvial floodings, occurring when the rainfall intensity exceeds both the man-made and natural infiltration and drainage capacity. To gain understanding of the effects and needed measures, tools for modelling the urban response to events such as cloudbursts are needed. READ MORE

  3. 7. Flood modelling in urban areas : A comparative study of MIKE 21 and SCALGO Live

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Evelina Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : SCALGO Live; MIKE 21; Stormwater Model; Flood Model; Cloudburst; Inundation; Comparative;

    Abstract : Pluvial flooding originating from extreme rainfall is problematic and an increasing issue in Sweden. Higher requirements on adapting cities in urban areas to these challenges have been placed on both municipalities and the county administration. Thus, an increased need for water modelling, both in existing and planned areas have emerged. READ MORE

  4. 8. 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. 9. Skyfallsanpassning av bostadsnära miljö : ett gestaltningsarbete av området kring Stjärnhusen i Malmö

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

    Author : Marta Karlström; [2021]
    Keywords : skyfall; skyfallshantering; hållbar dagvattenhantering; multifunktionella ytor;

    Abstract : Den 31 augusti 2014 föll ett skyfall i Malmö som vid mättillfället var det största regn sedan mätningar påbörjades i slutet av 1800-talet. Skyfallet beräknades ha en återkomsttid på över 200 år och orsakade översvämningar i stora delar av Malmö. READ MORE

  6. 10. Understanding housing co-operatives' flood risk reduction behavior : Perceptions of risk, coping, and incentives

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Angelica Zetterlund; [2021]
    Keywords : Rainfall; flooding; adaptation; housing co-operatives; risk; coping; incentives;

    Abstract : Escalating global warming-induced cloudbursts and intense precipitations are already causing an increase of material damages in Sweden. Flooding is therefore one of the main focus pointsin Sweden’s national strategy for climate adaptation. READ MORE
