  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Efficiency of sustainable urban drainage systems during flash floods

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Snærós Axelsdóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : Bioretention Cell; Rain Garden; Infiltration Trench; Green Roof; Permeable Pavement; Stormwater runoff; Storm Water Management Model;

    Abstract : As the world’s population is migrating more into urban areas, landcover changes follow. Natural pervious areas are being converted to impervious areas, which when subjected to rain generates more stormwater runoff. READ MORE

  5. 4. Using Evidence Based Design to create Storm Water Management Solutions Supporting Human Well-being : a case study approach

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Elin Lewin; Hampus Härstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Evidence-based Design; Open Stormwater Management; Human Well-being; residential areas; Blue-green Infrastructure;

    Abstract : Climate change is expected to increase the intensity and frequency of precipitation around Europe which increases the risk of severe flooding in urban situations. As cities densify, the amount of infiltrateable surfaces in the cities reduces which also increases the risk of flooding. READ MORE

  6. 5. Sensitivity analysis of a generic urban flow model : 2D modelling with empirical hyetographs and CDS rain

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Julia Granlund; [2022]
    Keywords : Input parameters; initial water content; antecedent moisture content; impervious surfaces; topography; empirical hyetographs; design storms;

    Abstract : Severe flooding events in recent years have underlined the importance of accurate hydrological modelling in urban areas. There are many important parameters relating to both the rainfall distribution and properties of the land on which the rain falls that controls the impacts of the rain event. READ MORE
