1. 1. 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.

3. 2. Vegetationens inverkan på det urbana klimatet : en studie om trädens effekt på en gatukanjonen i Malmö

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of People and Society

   Author : Linnea Saarela; [2016]
   Keywords : urbant lokalklimat; värmeö; klimatanpassning; mikroklimat; albedo; urban grönstruktur; evapotranspiration; termisk komfort;

   Abstract : Fysisk planering i Sverige har sedan länge inneburit att anpassa våra städer för ett kallt klimat. De pågående klimatförändringarna kommer dock kräva att den fysiska planeringen även omfattas av en anpassning för ett varmt sommarhalvårsklimat, där förekomsten av extrema väderhändelser kan komma att öka.

4. 3. Effects of simulated rainfall intensity on water flow through soil in two tillage systems

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Maria Sandin; [2012]
   Keywords : heavy clay soils; reduced tillage; macropore flow; rainfall simulator; dual-permeability model;

   Abstract : Diffuse losses of phosphorus from agricultural land to freshwater reservoirs have gained increasing interest in later years. Resent research suggests that phosphorus is mainly transported from the fields through macropores, and that soil under reduced forms of tillage can develop a higher macroporosity and thus an increased risk of phosphorus leaching compared to conventionally tilled soil, because of the more rapid flows of water through the soil.

5. 4. The effects of inlet sedimentation on water exchange in Maha Oya Estuary, Sri Lanka

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Linda Nylén; Ebba Ramel; [2012]
   Keywords : Maha Oya; water exchange; seasonal closure; HEC-RAS; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The Maha Oya river mouth, located on the west coast of Sri Lanka, is seasonally closed by a sand bar formed at the river mouth due to little rainfall and thus little river discharge. A new Outlet, located just north of the Maha Oya river mouth, was created by the 2004 tsunami. READ MORE
