  1. 1. The Influence of Infiltration Capacity and Antecedent Soil Moisture Conditions on Urban Pluvial Flooding

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

    Author : Disa Barkefors; [2023]
    Keywords : Urban pluvial flood; 2D modelling; MIKE ; urban green area; soil moisture; Chicago Design Storm;

    Abstract : Urban pluvial floods occur during extreme rain events and both occurrence and magnitude of these floods are expected to increase. Preserving or constructing green areas in urban areas has been shown to mitigate and control these floods. READ MORE

  3. 2. Bluegreengrey (BGG) solution for future climate and flood-resilient urban drainage network by enhancing the natural hydrological cycle

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Adnan Asif Rifat; [2023]
    Keywords : Bluegreengrey; Sustainable stormwater; Basement flooding; Urban flooding; Pipe Network; BGG; Climate change; Hydrology; Mike .; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A loop of urbanization, increasing impervious surface in urban areas, increasing temperature, rainfall, surface runoff and flooding, and lack of new spaces have been adding challenges to urban drainage systems for decades. The climate change impacts are exposing the existing vulnerable conventional urban drainage systems to more challenges in the future. READ MORE

  4. 3. Planning support for reducing risks related to flooding : A case study of flood response in Kista residential area and Igelbäcken stream, Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Kajsa Lundgren; [2017]
    Keywords : Planning support; blue green solutions; hydrodynamic modelling; MIKE FLOOD; climate change adaption; land use change; Planeringsstöd; blå-gröna lösningar; hydrodynamiskmodellering; MIKE FLOOD; klimatanpassning; markanvändning;

    Abstract : Flooding has been identified as the most widespread and most frequently occurring natural disaster by the United Nation. Sweden is no exception when it comes to being affected by flooding, and several major flood events have been seen in recent years. READ MORE

  5. 4. A case study of runoff coefficients for urban areas with different drainage systems

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Christine Thomas; [2017]
    Keywords : 1D Hydraulic modelling; avloppsteknik; environmental engineering; stormwater; vattenförsörjningsteknik; water Engineering; Runoff Modelling; SuDS; Urban Runoff; Effective Impervious Area; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : According to the United Nations, half of humanity now lives in cities. In recent years, many countries have seen a rise in the number of and intensity of heavy rainfall events due to the effects of climate change. The consequences of urban flooding in such a context can vary between just causing mild discomfort to tremendous devastation. READ MORE

  6. 5. Impacts on Flood Risk from Land Use Strategies for Coping with Climate Change – An Assessment using the Time-Area Method

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Agneta Green; [2014]
    Keywords : environmental science; physical geography; climate strategies; land use; hydrological modeling; flooding; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change places pressure on rural land in terms of carbon sequestration, biomass for substitution and adaptation of crops. Land use can both positively and negatively influence the runoff regime, therefor a catchment perspective is important when developing climate strategies. READ MORE
