  1. 16. Observed hydro-climatic trends and local perceptions of water availability: a mixed-methods study in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Hanna Ekström; [2020]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; ETCCDI; climate indices; RHESSys; Himalaya; socio-hydrology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In the central Himalayas, water dynamics are expected to change due to multiple factors like climate change, hydro power development and shifting land use practices. This thesis looks at possible changes in water dynamics in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal, as well as causes to those changes and how they are perceived locally. READ MORE

  3. 17. Water availability challenges in Mozambique – implications to the Nexus

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Ylva Nordström; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Den här rapporten undersöker möjliga framtider för vattentillgångarna och vattenkonsumptionen i området kring Pungwefloden i Mozambique med hänsyn till den naturliga miljön och vattenanvändningen. De vanligaste landklasserna i området är olika typer av skog. READ MORE

  4. 18. The effect of snow-cover area change, precipitation and temperature on streamflow in Tärnaån drainage basin, northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Kristin Röja; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Snow cover is a fundamental component of the world’s cryosphere and plays an important role in the hydrological cycle. It is significant as a human water resource but can also be an influencing factor in flood and drought generation. READ MORE

  5. 19. Effects of Wildfire Burn on Permafrost Landcover and Catchment Hydrology in Manitoba, Canada

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Andreas Andersson; [2019]
    Keywords : wildfire; permafrost; catchment hydrology;

    Abstract : Permafrost is a strongly controlling factor on Arctic hydrology due to its effect on ground permeability, and thus surface and ground water flow paths. As wildfires are increasing in occurrence and magnitude in permafrost regions, they may alter the hydrological regime via permafrost thaw and degradation that increases ground permeability.

  6. 20. Regional Regression Models of Mean Annual Streamflow and Design Flow in a Tropical Region of Colombia.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Anisa Zigaf Elfellah; Amanda Eriksson; [2018]
    Keywords : mean annual streamflow; extreme flow; design flow; regional regression model; ungauged watershed; hydrological homogeneous region; Gumbel distribution; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A responsible and sustainable water resources management is important. It is also crucial to take the presence of watercourses into account during design of hydraulic structures such as small dams and bridges. Doing this requires knowledge of estimates of annual streamflow and extreme flows to be used for design purposes. READ MORE
