  1. 11. Effect on future hydropower potential from use of different bias correction methods for three Swedish river basins

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Tobias Renlund; Olof Nilsson; [2012]
    Keywords : Hydropower; climate change; bias correction method; spring flood; snowpack; peak flow; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hydropower is responsible for approximately 45 % of the Swedish annual electricity production making it an important constituent of the Swedish energy market. This master thesis serves to evaluate how the use of three different bias correction methods and the delta change approach effect the predicted future hydropower production in Lule, Skellefte and Dal river basin.

  3. 12. Impact on Soil and Groundwater from Road Maintenance and Traffic: Initial Study of the E18 Highway.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Robert Earon; [2011]
    Keywords : Geophysics; Resistivity; Hydrogeology; Contaminant Transport; Contaminant Distribution; Soil and Water Chemistry;

    Abstract : The investigation of environmental impacts of 16 different contaminants originating from the E18 Highway (17 000 AADT) were carried out over the first six months of the highway‘s operational life. Investigative methods used include electrical resistivity surveying, water chemistry analyses, soil analyses, distribution modelling and transportation modelling. READ MORE

  4. 13. The effect of forest cover for the dynamics of a snowpack : linking snow water equivalents, meltwater contributions and evaporative loss

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Álvaro Valle Millán; [2010]
    Keywords : Forest hydrology; Clearcut; Snow accumulation; Snow water equivalents; Meltwater released; Evaporative loss; Water balance;

    Abstract : Forestry is one of the main economical activities in Sweden, but it can seriously affect the dynamic of the water cycle by altering several hydrological factors such as timing and amount of snow melt and meltwater contributions from the snowpack to the soil.This thesis, performed during the spring 2010 within the “Balsjö Catchment Study” in Northern Sweden, was carried out in order to understand how forest cover can influence the hydrology of snow-dominated boreal catchments.
