1. Groundwater modeling of Krycklan catchment and evaluation of the groundwater discharge distribution
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : This thesis aimed to evaluate the groundwater discharge distribution in the Krycklan catchment by developing a groundwater flow model using COMSOL Multiphysics and assuming a topography- controlled groundwater surface. Previous research has shown that the groundwater surface can be modeled as a subdued replica of the topography in humid climate regions where the permeability of the subsurface is low and where the groundwater surface is shallow.

2. 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 geovetenskaperAbstract : 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. Evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å at Ängelholm, Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : This master thesis report presents the results of evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å (river) at Ängelholm, located in south-west of Sweden within Scania. The main objectives cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to earlier observational study conducted by Norconsult in 2013, and finally conducting analysis of bank stability in most erosive stretches.

4. Carbon dioxide dynamics in agricultural streams : Investigation of two streams draining catchments dominated by agricultural land
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : In recent years, streams draining agricultural land has been suggested to exhibit high carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations when compared to streams draining other land-types. The transport of carbon from land to ocean is mainly occurring through the chain of inland waters, and with agricultural land today representing 40% of all continental area many of these inland waters are influenced by agricultural land.

5. Groundwater resources and vulnerability for mountain communities in the Andes
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : The purpose of the thesis is to review the effect of ongoing climate change and population growth ongroundwater resources of Katari Basin (Bolivian Andes) and the consequence of reduced groundwaterresources on the quality of water. El Alto city, situated in the Katari basin is most vulnerable to thewater shortage because of climate change and high population growth rate. READ MORE
