1. 1. Effect of suspended sediment on embryos and larvae of the cold‐water coral Lophelia pertusa

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Charlie Havsblad; [2022-09-13]
   Keywords : Lophelia pertusa; Desmophyllum pertusum; suspended sediment; embryo; larvae;

   Abstract : The cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (syn. Desmophyllum pertusum) provides importanthabitats in deep-sea ecosystems, allowing for a biodiversity similar to that of tropical coral reefs. READ MORE

3. 2. The role of agricultural drainage in controlling the effectiveness of two-stage ditches in Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Neerajaa Nagarajan; [2021]
   Keywords : Subsurface drainage; Absorbance flourescence spectroscopy; Suspended sediments; NO3N; NH4N; PO4P; TP values; DOM indices;

   Abstract : Increased agricultural activities are causing eutrophication in downstream water bodies. To mitigate nutrient leaching from cropland, various in-field and edge-of-field practices have been implemented. READ MORE

4. 3. Evaluation of a gross pollutant trap-biofilter stormwater treatment train : The Role Of Calcium Carbonate, Vegetation And Pre-Treatment Facility

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Arkitektur och vatten

   Author : Sofia Fahlbeck Carlsson; [2021]
   Keywords : Bioretention; stormwater; stormwater treatment; stormwater pollutants; heavy metals; phosphorus; Biofilter; dagvatten; dagvattenrening; dagvattenföroreningar; tungmetaller; fosfor;

   Abstract : Development of cities, new buildings and other impervious surfaces entails increased stormwater flows, volumes and pollutant loads. Heavy metals, nutrients, sediments and salt are common pollutants in stormwater. READ MORE

5. 4. How robust is water quality determination with optical measurements for highly polluted agricultural waters?

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Honorine Uwera; [2020]
   Keywords : turbidity; suspended sediments; dissolved organic matter; optical measurements;

   Abstract : Optical technology is used to measure and monitor water quality, to date mainly in drinking water treatment, where water is typically much cleaner than in heavily polluted agricultural streams. To characterize suspended sediments (SS) and dissolved organic matter (DOM) in surface water some optical measurements have been used (absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy). READ MORE

6. 5. Can we use optical sensors in highly turbid agricultural streams?

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

   Author : Ana Paula Abade Smoginski; [2017]
   Keywords : optical sensors; phosphorus and sediment losses; turbidity; organic matter; agricultural catchments;

   Abstract : Optical sensors are advanced technology capable of monitoring water quality con-tinuously at high temporal resolution. Optical sensors are prone to errors when deployed in streams with high sediment content. Agricultural streams, with high and variable suspended sediment loads, can affect the performance of these instru-ments. READ MORE
