1. 1. Acid sulphate soils and its influence on metal concentrations in adjacent water bodies. - A case study from Halland, SW Sweden

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Amanda Lindgren; [2021-03-10]
   Keywords : acid sulphate soils; metal distribution; surface water; climate; physicochemistry;

   Abstract : Acid sulphate soils have been referred to as being among the most harmful soils in the world due to their ability to severely decrease the pH of the water, consequently enabling an increased metal load to recipient water streams, lakes, groundwater reservoirs and estuaries. The presence of acid sulphate soils has triggered several fish kill episodes in northern Scandinavia and the soils are today threatening many of the national environmental goals of Sweden. READ MORE

3. 2. Fluorescence probes: towards automatic coagulant dosing

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Daphné Lecellier; [2018]
   Keywords : Drinking water quality; Water treatment process; Coagulation; Microcystis aerugosa; algal organic matter; LC-OCD; EEM; powdered activated carbon; Alum;

   Abstract : There is a current lack of accurate tools to determine the concentration of cyanobacteria in situ.  Besides, cyanobacterial blooms have to be carefully monitored in reservoirs as they are more frequent because of climate change and can lead to potential released of toxins, along with other components.

4. 3. Hydrological Modelling of Al Auja Earth Dam in the Lower Jordan Valley.

   University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

   Author : Otto Rimfors; Vadim Velichkin; [2015]
   Keywords : Hydrological modelling; arid areas; Jordan Valley; water scarcity; Al Auja; HEC-HMS; SMA; CN;

   Abstract : In a populated region with very high potential evapotranspiration, where the rainwater falls only during the winter and mostly in the mountains, the need for sustainable water management and fair distribution is crucial. In the West Bank, Palestine, the main potable water source is a karst mountain aquifer system. READ MORE

5. 4. Modelling and Simulation of a Groundwater aquifer in Vomb

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI); Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

   Author : Sanna Nordlund; [2015]
   Keywords : Groundwater; Groundwater flow equation; Aquifer; Artificial groundwater; Artificial groundwater recharge; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In Sweden the groundwater cycle is by nature at steady state. When using groundwater as a freshwater resource it is common to artificially recharge the aquifer with approximately the same volume as is pumped up by the wells. READ MORE
