  1. 21. An Empirical Study on Socio-Hydrology and the Historical Evolution of Flood Risk in Pori, Finland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Konstantinos Mandilaris; [2016]
    Keywords : Socio-hydrology; urbanization; flooding; stormwater; urban hydrology; Socio-hydrologi; urbanisering; översvämning; dagvatten; urban hydrologi;

    Abstract : Urbanization is continuously growing all over the world. Both developing and developed countries encourage rapid expansion for increased growth and production. However, urbanization in combination with climate change can lead to higher chances of extreme flood events. READ MORE

  3. 22. A Hydrological Model of the Mundaú River Basin, Recalibration of a MGB-IPH rainfall-runoff model using updated land-use data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Michael Cockrell; [2016]
    Keywords : Rainfall runoff modeling; MGB-IPH; Mundaú; Brazil; Water allocation grants; ANA; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Avrinningsområdet Mundaú har sitt ursprung i den Brasilianska delstaten Pernambuco och rinner i sydöstlig riktning mot Mundaúlagunen längs Atlantkusten tillhörande delstaten Alagoas. Området faller under nationell jurisdiktion, är relativt oreglerat och erfar både översvämningar och torrperioder. READ MORE

  4. 23. Hydrological modeling enhancement using GIS : An improved topographic wetness index for wetland detection

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Patricia Rull; [2016]
    Keywords : Blue spots; digital dams; culverts; hydrologically enforced DEM; topographic wetness index; TWI; soil-topographic wetness index; STI; wetland detection;

    Abstract : Hydrological modeling, like runoff modelling for flood prevention, is based on digital elevation models (DEMs). The fact that the DEMs do not represent existing road culverts can lead to considerable hydrological misinterpretations. READ MORE

  5. 24. Climate Impact Modeling of Hydrological Inflow into the Swedish Power Market

    University essay from KTH/Numerisk analys, NA

    Author : Jonathan Ridenour; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hydrological inflow, in the form of rainfall and snowmelt, has a great impact on electricity prices in hydro-dominated energy markets such as that of Sweden. As power market participants prepare to meet the challenges of a range of climate change scenarios, such as a two-degree rise in mean global temperature, information about changing inflow patterns is increasingly important.

  6. 25. Flood Visualization for Urban Planning : An exploratory spatiotemporal visualization of storm water runoff in 2D and 3D

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för Industriell utveckling, IT och Samhällsbyggnad

    Author : Christopher Stanley; [2016]
    Keywords : GIS Visusalization; Hydrological modeling; Spatiotemporal visualization;

    Abstract : Modelling hydrologic processes is important for understanding how the water cycle works in different environments. Cities which undergo constant changes are subject to flood hazards resulting from severe rainfall. READ MORE
