1. 1. Expectations and reality of sustainable stormwater management : A review of implementation of Nature-Based Solutions - A case study of Southern Stockholm

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Katarzyna Zofia Dziubanii; [2024]
   Keywords : Nature-based solutions; green infrastructure; ecosystem services; planning process; spatial planning; urban planning; stormwater management; sustainability; climate change mitigation; Naturbaserade lösningar; grön infrastruktur; ekosystemtjänster; planeringsprocess; fysisk planering; stadsplanering; dagvattenhantering; hållbarhet; klimatförändringar;

   Abstract : The shrinking of permeable areas in favour of urban development is a phenomenon described in both scientific literature and policy documents. Changes in rainfall intensity and frequency following climate change are expected, but predicting the exact magnitude of these changes remains unclear. READ MORE

3. 2. Surface Runoff on Green Urban Areas : A study on driving forces behind surface runoff generaiton

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

   Author : Erik Nilsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Surface runoff; Hydrus; Urban green area; Soil Moisture;

   Abstract : Recent flooding events, such as the one in Germany 2021 have caused irreversible damages to infrastructure and lives. The aftermath of events like these have underlined the importance of an accurate risk management by predicting them in urban areas. READ MORE

4. 3. Soil compaction and the effect on infiltration in urban green environments : A study based on field measurements and HYDRUS 1D modelling

   University essay from

   Author : Anastasia Novikova; [2023]
   Keywords : HYDRUS; surface runoff; soil compaction; urban environments;

   Abstract : The consequences of recent flooding and extreme rain events have highlighted the importance of proper urban planning and preventative measures for storm water management. As cities become more urbanized the significance of permeable surfaces such as parks and other urban green spaces increases which infiltrate the water into the ground. READ MORE

5. 4. Storm Water Management with BlueGreen Infrastructure in Urban Planning : A case-study in Krokom, Sweden

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

   Author : Lena Suleiko Allansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainable drainage system SuDS ; nature-based solutions; ecosystem services; urban water management; climate change adaption;

   Abstract : As changing climate and growing urban populations present new challenges for managing both the quantity and the quality of storm waterin cities, nature-based solutions such as blue-green infrastructure arebecoming widely considered as an alternative to grey infrastructure. The benefits, above providing storm water management at a lower cost, are increased ecosystem services. READ MORE

6. 5. Characterization of Landscape Structures and Precipitation in relation to Flooding events in Pampa Deprimida : A Minor Field Study in Argentina

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

   Author : Linnea Svärd; [2023]
   Keywords : Pampeana hydrology; flood risk mapping; runoff; infiltration; precipitation; SCSCN; remote sensingg; Hydrologi på Pampas; kartläggning av översvämningsrisker; avrinning; infiltration; nederbörd; SCS-CN; fjärranalys; Hidrología de la Pampa Deprimida; cartografía del riesgo de inundaciones; escorrentía; infiltración; precipitación; SCS-CN; sensores remotos;

   Abstract : The purpose of the thesis is to characterize flood events within the agricultural fields of flooding Pampa in Argentina. The characterization divides the flat landscape into flood prone areas and endeavour at linking driving factors to flood response based on past events. READ MORE
