  1. 1. High levels of nickel from sulphide soil in Umeå's raw water : Modeling of groundwater flow and mass transport in Forslunda aquifer

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Merhawi Belai; [2024]
    Keywords : nickel; sulfide; sulphide; groundwater; modeling; mass transport; Feflow; Umeå; nickel; sulfid; monosulfid; grundvatten; modellering; masstransport; Feflow; Umeå;

    Abstract : The raw water in some of Umeå's abstraction wells has shown high nickel levels for more than a decade. The cause has not been determined but there is an investigation from 2010 where the results indicate sulphide clay found adjacent to two basins used for artificial infiltration. READ MORE

  3. 2. Idealised remediation scenario in two small-scale intersecting fractures

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Agnes Zúniga Ekenberg; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Analysis of mass transport in rock fractures has become increasingly important in underground storage of radioactive materials and remediation of polluted groundwater in fractured rock aquifers. Permeability of rock mass is regulated by present rock fractures, where flow is mainly through the fracture networks. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling of Fluid Flow and Contaminant Transport in Fractured Rock : Case Study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Ebba Pegestam; [2022]
    Keywords : Contaminant transport; Discrete Fracture Network; Geology; Geohydrology; Groundwater transport; Fracture; Drinking water; Contamination; Föroreningar; flödestransport; spricknätverk; geologi; geohydrologi; grundvattentransport; sprickor; dricksvatten;

    Abstract : Drinking water contamination is a big concern in Sweden and is commonly traced back to being waste from former manufacturing industrial sites. Pollutants in the topsoil can be remediated by several techniques, such as decontamination or excavation but the toxins already enclosed in the bedrock cannot be treated the same and is harder to track possible contaminant pathways.

  5. 4. Performance Evaluation of a High Temperature Borehole Thermal Energy Storage Under Influence of Groundwater Flow

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Max Hesselbrandt; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recent years have seen a growing interest in large-scale high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage (HT-BTES) as a means to store industrial waste heat and solar energy between the seasons. A profound understanding and characterization of the thermal and hydraulic processes involved in such systems is required for the optimal design as well as for environmental assessments of the storage.

  6. 5. Evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å at Ängelholm, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Arnold Mate Kalimukwa; Abuzack Juma Mohamed; [2021]
    Keywords : HEC-RAS; BSTEM; cross section; erosion; sediment transport; deposition; bank stability; safety factor; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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.
