  1. 11. Comparing Groundwater Drawdown with Estimated Influence Radius – A Case Study of Infrastructural Projects in Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Staffan Druid; [2022]
    Keywords : Influence radius; analytical formula; groundwater lowering; sensitivity; Influensradie; analytisk beräkning; grundvattenavsänkning; känslighet;

    Abstract : Infrastructural projects may sometimes require excavation of soils and the groundwater table to be lowered, temporarily or permanently. As there are risks in connection to groundwater lowering, the extent of the affected area is of interest. READ MORE

  3. 12. Quantification of peat volume change in Northern peatlands : A study of mires capacity to swell and shrink and its relation to mire age and land management

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Anna Engman; [2022]
    Keywords : peatland; peat volume change; ecohydrology; specific storage; peatland age; torvmark; myr; torvvolymförändring; ekohydrologi; specifik magasinkoefficient; ålder;

    Abstract : Peatlands are important ecosystems that provide ecohydrological functions related to carbon storage and cycling, water quality, flood attenuation, and groundwater recharge. One key characteristic that gives peatlands these functions is the capacity to swell and shrink upon wetting and drying, commonly referred to as peat volume change. READ MORE

  4. 13. Groundwater Crisis in Southern Rural India : Understanding Farmers’ Perspectives and Local Participatory Mitigation Strategies

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Rohini Srivyshnavi Korlakunta; [2022]
    Keywords : water conservation and management; public participatory measures; understanding farmers’;

    Abstract : India is the largest user of groundwater in the world with an estimated utilization of 230 cubic kilometers per year which is over a quarter of the global total. More than 60% of irrigated agriculture is dependent on groundwater and when there is no adequate recharge of groundwater due to over exploitation and lesser rainfall, water scarcity and thus drought occurs.

  5. 14. Urban Flooding in Ljungby Municipality and the Effectiveness of Blue-green Mitigation Measures Using the Software SCALGO Live

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Bayan Taleb; [2021]
    Keywords : Blue-green solutions; climate change; hydraulic modelling; urban flooding.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : En av konsekvenserna av klimatförändringen är en ökning av extrema regn. Kraftigt regn har blivit vanligare de senaste åren, troligen kommer nederbörden fortsätta att öka under kommande åren, säger forskarna. Den 10 augusti 2020, föll ett kraftigt regn i Ljungby stad som orsakade många översvämningar i privata och publika områden. READ MORE

  6. 15. Effectiveness of Barrier Well by Pumping Ratio Control for Saltwater Intrusion: Lab-Scale Experiments and Numerical Modeling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Shinichi Ozaki; [2021]
    Keywords : Saltwater intrusion; Barrier well; Pumping ratio control; Production well; salinity-affected coastal aquifer; Critical groundwater pumping ratio; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Saltwater intrusion is the most challenging problem in coastal regions. To prevent saltwater intrusion, saltwater pumping from a barrier well is widely applied, which is a direct abstraction of intruded saltwater from a coastal aquifer. Owing to its easy installation, many studies have been carried out. READ MORE
