  1. 11. Groundwater flooding in a Moldovan limestone mine : An investigation into the limestone aquifer in Chisinau andsustainable solutions to mine dewatering

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Erik Tobin; [2022]
    Keywords : groundwater; hydrogeology; limestone; mine; Moldova; Chisinau; grundvatten; hydrogeologi; kalksten; gruva; Moldavien; Chisinau;

    Abstract : This work aimed to investigate the groundwater situation in and around Mina din Chisinau, an underground limestone mine in Chisinau, Moldova, in order to contribute to a sustainable solution to its flooding problem. Work on-site was done including visits inside the mine, to points of hydrogeological relevance to the mine, well inventories/search, and an attempt at an infiltration test. READ MORE

  3. 12. Spatio-temporal analysis of groundwater-dependent precipitation based on Lagrangian moisture tracking

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Daowei Li; [2022]
    Keywords : Groundwater abstraction; groundwater dependent precipitation; ERA5 precipitation; Utrack; Lagrangian model.;

    Abstract : Groundwater abstraction for irrigation use has steadily increased over the past decades, resulting in additional evaporation to the atmosphere, and increased precipitation. The precipitation stemming from groundwater irrigation (or Groundwater-dependent precipitation) has received little attention during recent years and is solely researched by the Eulerian model.

  4. 13. 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. 14. Increasing the Resilience of Colombia’s Indigenous Wayuu Communities Through Renewable Energy Technologies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/LUMID International Master programme in applied International Development and Management

    Author : Ian Granit; [2022]
    Keywords : Water-Energy-Food Security WEF Nexus; Renewable Energy; Energy Security; Water Security; Food Security; diffusion; innovation; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Small scale renewable energy systems (SSRES) serve as a potential solution to decrease energy poverty, increase water and food security, and a potential climate change adaptation (CCA) strategy. This thesis investigates the diffusion of such systems amongst indigenous Wayuu communities in La Guajira, Colombia, through Roger's Diffusion Theory. READ MORE

  6. 15. Petrography and Thermodynamic Modelling of Svecofennian Arsenic-bearing Metasupracrustal Rocks in the Arlanda Area, West-Central Fennoscandian Shield

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Klara Skoog; [2022]
    Keywords : Bergslagen; Svecokarelian orogeny; metamorphism; arsenic; optical microscopy; electron microprobe; thermodynamic modelling; Bergslagen; Svecokarelska orogenesen; metamorfos; arsenik; optisk mikroskopering; elektron mikrosond; termodynamisk modellering;

    Abstract : The Arlanda area is a construction intensive area facing problems with risk of leaching of arsenic (As) from the bedrock to surface- and groundwater. Construction projects in the area have had problems with high levels of As in the bedrock and the risk of leaching increases through processing of aggregates and blasting of the bedrock. READ MORE
