1. 11. The impact of different evapotranspiration models in rainfall runoff modelling using HBV- light

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Oscar Maxander; [2021]
   Keywords : HBV-light; Rainfall runoff modelling; Evapotranspiration; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The choice of which potential evapotranspiration (PET) model to use when estimating streamflow using a rainfall-runoff model have been the topic of many studies. The aim with this thesis was to assess the robustness of six different PET models using HBV-light as rainfall-runoff model over three catchments in Sweden. READ MORE

3. 12. Exploring Spatiotemporal Relationships between InSAR-derived Land Subsidence and Satellite-based Hydrological Variables

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Yixin Zhang; [2021]
   Keywords : InSAR; Shabestar; subsidence; groundwater; hydrological variables; LSTM; Sentinel-1A; Geomatics; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Shabestar basin in the East Azerbaijan province, Northwest Iran, where irrigation is the main groundwater consumer, has experienced large-scale subsidence and groundwater deletion, which poses a threat to the local agricultural activities, economic development, and food security. With the emergency of mitigating the risk, satisfying future demand for groundwater, and improving resilience considering climate change, this study proposes a satellite-based approach to explore the spatio-temporal relationships between measured subsidence and hydrological variables in the basin to assist groundwater management strategy.

4. 13. Effects of afforestation and crop systems on the water balance in the highlands of Ethiopia

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Rebecca Naomi Ter Borg; [2020]
   Keywords : Acacia decurrens; landscape water balance; sediment yield; soil and water conservation; SWAT modelling; water balance partitioning;

   Abstract : In the Upper Blue Nile Basin land use is rapidly changing due to agricultural development and intensification with potential effects on the water availability both up- and downstream. This study is aimed to explore the impact of agricultural land use change on a landscape water balance. READ MORE

5. 14. Modelling the water balance of a grassland soil

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Elvin Rufullayev; [2020]
   Keywords : calibration; high precision weighing lysimeter; numerical modelling; plant growth; potential evapotranspiration; soil processes; STELLA Architect; temperate grassland; TERENO; vadose zone; validation;

   Abstract : Expected future climate change characterized by higher temperatures and more frequent summer droughts may cause significant changes in soil hydrological processes leading to limited nutrient and water availability and reductions in plant growth. Soil hydrological and plant growth models attempt to reproduce the complex interactions in the plant-soil water system in terms of mathematical equations, parameters and coefficients. READ MORE

6. 15. Exploring the Residents' Attitude towards Greening Buildings and their Willingness to take action: An Empirical Survey Study in Deutz, Cologne

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Tamina Burggraf; [2020]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Green Roofs; Vertical Greening Systems; Residents’ Engagement; Acceptance; Urban Climate Change Adaptation;

   Abstract : In times that reveal the consequences of climate change, cities are using urban greening as a potential measure in their climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. Greenery in the city regulates the climate and balances temperature extremes through evapotranspiration and air humidification, spending shade and increased air circulation. READ MORE
