1. 1. Grönblå skyfallshantering : en fallstudie om skyfallsskydd för befintliga byggnader i Stockholm

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Author : Sandra Andersson; Frida Helander; [2023]
   Keywords : skyfall; skyfallskartering; urban dagvattenhantering; grönblå infrastruktur; översvämning; SCALGO Live;

   Abstract : På senare år har skyfall skapat översvämningar globalt, och mer frekvent i Sverige än tidigare. Dessa översvämningar har orsakat stora skador på hus och infrastruktur. Det har blivit viktigare att skapa klimatresilienta städer och det händer mycket inom området. READ MORE

3. 2. The influence of spatial variations in rain intensity for cloudburst modelling : a case study of the Gävle cloudburst

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Fanny Jeppsson Stahl; [2022]
   Keywords : Flood modelling; pluvial flooding; spatial variations in rain intensity; design storms; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM; 2D hydraulic modelling; Skyfallsmodellering; pluviala översvämningar; spatiala variationer i regnintensitet; typregn; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM;

   Abstract : With an intensification of heavy rain events in a changing climate and a rapid urbanization the risk for pluvial flooding is increasing in our societies. Pluvial flooding, which is formed when the rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration or drainage rate, can occur rapidly and cause great damages, large economic losses and possibly risk human lives.

4. 3. How design storms with normally distributed intensities customized from precipitation radar data in Sweden affect the modeled hydraulic response to extreme rainfalls

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

   Author : Daniel Elfström; Max Stefansson; [2021]
   Keywords : cloudbursts; cloudburst mapping; spatial rain variation; pluvial flooding; hydraulic response; Swedish precipitation radar data; idealized urban catchment; hydrodynamic modeling; skyfall; skyfallskartering; gaussisk regnfördelning; spatial regnvariation; pluvial översvämning; hydraulisk respons; svensk nederbördsradardata; idealiserat urbant avrinningsområde; hydrodynamisk modellering;

   Abstract : Intense but short-term cloudbursts may cause severe flooding in urban areas. Such short-term cloudbursts mostly are of convective character, where the rain intensity may vary considerably within relatively small areas. Using uniform design rains where maximum intensity is assumed over the whole catchment is common practice in Sweden, though. READ MORE

5. 4. The role of groundwater in the inundation of a river-connected floodplain : case study of the river Silverån in southeast Sweden

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Stina Bång; [2019]
   Keywords : Groundwater flooding; Groundwater modeling; Flood modeling;

   Abstract : Fluvial flooding has long been recognized as one of the most frequently occurring natural disasters worldwide, with consequences as large economic losses from damages on infrastructure and agriculture, as well as severe impacts on human health. A less known and explored type of flooding is groundwater flooding. READ MORE

6. 5. High resolution ensemble flood forecasting

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Cajsa-Lisa Ivarsson; [2019]
   Keywords : High-resolution; rainfall-runoff modelling; flood forecasting; HYPE; pluvial floods; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The number and impacts of pluvial floods are likely to increase with the growth of our cities and as extreme weather is anticipated to intensify with climate change. Im- proved preparedness is needed which may be attained owing to recent development of high-resolution hydro-meteorological observations and forecasts as well as geographical data. READ MORE
