1. 1. Addressing Water Scarcity in La Guajira: A Comparative Analysis of Four Water Systems

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

   Author : Johan Hedstrand Welander; [2023]
   Keywords : Drought; wells; desalination; La Guajira; Colombia; windmills; solar panels; MFS; Minor Field Study; development;

   Abstract : During the recent prolonged drought in La Guajira, Colombia, the child mortality rate surged to 23.4 per 1000. With the focal point in rural Alta Guajira, a lack of rainfall and wind resulted in an acute potable water scarcity. READ MORE

3. 2. The Social and Environmental Costs of the Water Management System of Chile: Inequalities in a Context of Scarcity

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Gianna Laura Angermayr; [2022]
   Keywords : Water Market; 1981 Water Code; Water Scarcity; Potable Water; Socio-ecological Justice; Power Relations; Agriculture; Campesinos; Indigenous Communities; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to present a more complete picture of Chile’s water management system in terms of the three pillars of sustainable development, namely regarding the social, environmental, and economic outcomes of the 1981 Water Code. The contribution of this research relies in the understanding of the law’s reproduction of socio- ecological inequalities and in the investigation of a possible link between commercial agricultural activities and prices of potable water in the sixteen administrative regions of Chile.

4. 3. 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

5. 4. A Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment Associated with Cross-Connections in the Drinking Water Network in Combination with Hydraulic Modeling

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Fatin Alzuhairi; [2022]
   Keywords : EPANET; QMRA; Water distribution network; Health risk analysis; Cross-connections and backflow; Low pressure; Water quality; Simulation; Pathogen; EPANET; QMRA; vattendistributionsnät; hälsoriskanalys; korskoppling; lågtryck; vattenkvalitet; simulering; patogen;

   Abstract : Drinking water companies have the technology and responsibility to deliver safe and high-quality drinking water to the water distribution systems network (WDN). However, many events within the WDN, such as cross-connections and backflow, might degrade water quality and pose public health risks to consumers. READ MORE

6. 5. Exploring Urban Rainwater Harvesting in the city of Madrid applying GIS based MCDA expert tools

   University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

   Author : Silvia Börjesson Ballesteros; [2022]
   Keywords : Rainwater Harvesting Systems; Pond Harvesting Systems; Nature-based facilities; Climate Change Adaptation; MCDA; ArcGIS; Madrid; Spain; Sustainable water management solutions; Regnvattenuppsamlingssystem; naturbaserade anläggningar; klimatanpassning; urban resiliens; MCDA; ArcGIS; Madrid; Spanien; lösningar för hållbar vattenhantering;

   Abstract : Due to climate change, water resources’ scarcity and distribution variability have generated a growing interest in sustainable water management in recent years. In addition, the growing interest in implementing nature-based solutions for urban resilience leads to the development of decentralized water supply systems such as rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS) as a complementary resource to conventional centralized water supply systems.
