Solving incidents with contaminated drinking water using hydraulic modelling
During 2017, two incidents with coliform bacteria in the drinking water occurred in Lund, South Sweden. Boil water advisories were issued and the extensive work began to limit the affected areas, find the sources of contamination and restore the network to normal conditions. During both incidents, hydraulic modelling was used as part of the trace […]
Den marina miljöförvaltningens utveckling i Sverige från 1960-talet tills idag
Most coastal countries lack a coherent marine policy or set of coherent policies covering various marine policy areas. These include, for example, fishery, aquaculture, mineral extraction, transport, military de- fense, environmental protection and conservation, pipelines, energy production, coastal development, tourism, other marine activities and overall, the climate. Often there is an inability to see and […]
Sustainable drainage systems assessment and optimisation – a case study for Lussebäcken catchment, Helsingborg
Increase of urbanisation and climate change are two factors that have been highlighted as they influ- ence the hydrological cycle. Both result in increased in peak flow within urban watersheds, leading to downstream flood-ing and increased pollution. In order to address this, Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) have been adopted to support peak flow reduction and […]
Rapid analysis methods for paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins (PSTs) monitoring in raw waters
The presence of paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins (PSTs) in drinking water resources has urged the de- velopment of simple and fast screening tools for drinking water surveillance. This article aims to validate a quick test kit for freshwater PSTs detection. Preliminary estimates of the limit of detection (LODs) were done for 5 PSPs variants, namely […]
