  1. 21. Modelling flow detention through temporary storage in the landscape using Artificial Neural Networks - A case study of Lake Mälaren

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Arvid Wikström; [2008]
    Keywords : offshore technology; Flood mitigation; Eco-flooding; Flow detention modelling; Artificial Neural Networks; Lake Mälaren; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; soil mechanics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Several strategies can be used to mitigate flood risks, many of them involves construction of embankments around threatened locations or attempts to spread the flood wave in time and space. In this thesis, the effects of a mitigation strategy called eco-flooding are studied in the catchment of Lake Mälaren. READ MORE

  3. 22. Impact of Summer Storms on Rainwater Collecting Lakes in Gansu, China

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Shirly Cheung; Martin Schjånberg; [2007]
    Keywords : Civil engineering; Computer simulations; Heavy rainstorms; SWMM; Stormwater; Man-made lakes; Floods; Tian Hu; hydraulic engineering; Xifeng; Gansu; China; Teknik; Technological sciences; offshore technology; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The rapid population growth in China during the last decades has put an enormous pressure on cultivation production and water supply. Many regions in China are therefore facing water scarcity and shortage of arable land. One of such regions is Gansu and it is considered as the driest and poorest province in China. READ MORE

  4. 23. Offshore Surveillance of Wave Buoys

    University essay from Elektricitetslära och åskforskning

    Author : Simon Tyrberg; [2007]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : To gain further knowledge about the motion of the wave buoys involved in the Islandsberg project for wave power, a surveillance system has been designed. The base for the system consists of a lattice tower to be placed on one of two islets southwest of Lysekil: Klammerskären. READ MORE

  5. 24. Review of methods used for lowering groundwater levels at archeological sites, Egypt

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Dahlia S. Hassan; [2006]
    Keywords : Civil engineering; teknisk geografi; irrigation; groundwater table; Aswan High Dam AHD ; water-soluble salts; offshore technology; salts accumulations; Hydrogeology; geographical and geological engineering; teknisk geologi; Hydrogeologi; hydraulic engineering; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Seven or eight thousand years ago, as the farthest the human memory can reach, the Egyptians established a great civilization that was considered as the origin of civilization on the Earth. There is no place in Egypt where man cannot find evidence that enlighten this civilization and tell about Egypt's role in most of the world's historic events from the beginning of mankind until the present.

  6. 25. A Formula for the Total Longshore Sediment Transport Rate - Development and Evaluation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Mushaliza Mustar; [2005]
    Keywords : laboratory data; field data; longshore sediment transport; wave energy flux; longshore current; erosion; soil mechanics; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; offshore technology; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Presentation of problem: The movement of sediment parallel to the coast by waves and currents is known as longshore sediment transport or littoral transport. Throughout the years, researchers have found that knowledge of longshore sediment transport is important in connection with coastal engineering design, such as construction of breakwaters at harbour entrances, dredging of navigation channels, and improving beaches.
