  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

  3. 2. Estetiska värden hos gröna tak

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

    Author : Stina Ekström; [2023]
    Keywords : gröna tak; extensiva gröna tak; takvegetation; kulturella ekosystemtjänster; urbanisering; klimat; hälsa; estetik;

    Abstract : Grönblå infrastruktur och naturbaserade lösningar i staden blir allt viktigare med de klimatförändringar som pågår. I den urbana miljön kan gröna tak bidra med viktiga ekosystemtjänster för att t ex fördröja dagvattenavrinningen från tak, dämpa buller nära bygganden, rena luft, öka biologisk mångfald samt förbättra kulturella och estetiska värden.

  4. 3. Water quality improvement of highway runoff by the filter material D-Rainclean : A five-month field trial

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : William Gulding; [2023]
    Keywords : Adsorption; D-Rainclean; metal removal; Reactive filter; stormwater treatment;

    Abstract : Highway runoff and its pollutants are of growing concern. These pollutants require treatment as their concentration often are increased. A common removal method is the use of sedimentation ponds that removes particulates through gravity. READ MORE

  5. 4. Treatment of Metals in Highway Runoff Water : Comparison of green infrastructures and filter material for stormwater treatment

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Fanny von Matérn; [2023]
    Keywords : Road runoff; heavy metals; constructed wetland; stormwater pond; vegetated filterstrip; vegetated swale; sandfilter; reactive filter material; Vägdagvatten; tungmetaller; anlagd våtmark; dagvattendam; översilningsyta; svackdike; sandfilter; reaktiva filtermaterial;

    Abstract : Highway runoff transport high concentrations of heavy metals. As climate change affect the environment with for example increased storm events, the treatment of road runoff becomes more important. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of Maintenance on the Efficiency of NBS for Urban Flood Management

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Julia Markström; [2023]
    Keywords : Stormwater management; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Maintenance; Efficiency; Runoff volume reduction; Dagvattenhantering; Natur-baserade lösningar; Underhåll; Effektivitet; Dagvattenreducering;

    Abstract : As rain events are likely to intensify and the proportion of impervious areas in cities increases, greater demands are put on stormwater management. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have become more popular over the past decades to be integrated into the stormwater strategy in order to reduce the volume of runoff in cities. READ MORE
