  1. 21. Hydraulic modelling of the vulnerability for compounding high sea levels and high river discharge on the Swedish coastline

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Hannah Berk; [2020]
    Keywords : Coastal floods; combined compound flood events; fluvial floods; LISFLOOD-FP; hydraulic modelling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Coastal floodplains are at risk for combined high discharge and sea level events. Consequences when they occur can be several magnitudes greater than the impact from any isolated event. READ MORE

  3. 22. Ett blågrönt lyft : ett gestaltningsförslag med fokus på blågrön infrastruktur avseende den planerade stadsdelen Jakobsberg i Karlstad

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

    Author : Susanne Hasselberg; Ylva Ulfbecker; [2020]
    Keywords : översvämningsskydd; blågrön infrastruktur; landskapsarkitektur; översvämningar i städer; översvämningsskyddade städer;

    Abstract : Intensifierade skyfall och större risk för översvämningar ökar behovet av nya lösningar. Blågrön infrastruktur kan vara framtidens lösning på städers dagvattenhantering. Med blågröna lösningar kan även hållbarheten och attraktiviteten öka i städerna. READ MORE

  4. 23. Optimizing the design of two-stage ditches to improve nutrient and sediment retention

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sofia Englund; [2020]
    Keywords : eutrophication; water quality; mitigation measure; two-stage ditch; retention time; water retention; nutrients; sediments; vegetation; terrace; HEC-RAS; Manning’s coefficient; water level; climate change; övergödning; vattenkvalitet; begränsande åtgärd; tvåstegsdike; retentionstid; vattenretention; näringsämnen; sediment; vegetation; terrass; HEC-RAS; Manning’s koefficient; vattennivå; klimatförändring;

    Abstract : Negative effects on water quality are created by eutrophication of the world’s water resources. Mitigation measures have been implemented, but poor improvements in water quality have been observed. Two-stage ditches have the possibility to increase nutrient and sediment retention to reduce eutrophication in receiving water bodies. READ MORE

  5. 24. 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. 25. Sustainable Drainage Systems Assessment and Optimisation-A case study for Lussebäcken Catchment, Helsingborg

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Bernard Nsabimana; Néstor Utande Estallo; [2019]
    Keywords : Hydraulics; hydrology; Sustainable Drainage Systems; urban; Modeling; MIKE URBAN; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Increase of urbanization and climate change are one of the factors that have been highlighted to influence hydrography. This is resulting in an increase in peak flow within an urban watershed. Downstream flooding and increased pollution are the problems that arises. READ MORE
