Kustordlistan.se – en Eng-Swe-Eng kustordlista för ingenjörer och planerare / Kustordlistan.se – An Eng-Swe-Eng Coastal Dictionary for engineers and planners
According to the authors’ many years of experience in coastal projects around Sweden, there is a great need for an improved Swedish terminology for engineering issues and planning of coastal areas. This article presents, thus, an English-Swedish dictionary, including explanatory comments, with an ambition to clarifying a wide range of words and expressions. This dictionary […]
Tidig regional vattensamverkan i Skåne –Ringsjöverkets förhistoria / Early regional water cooperation in Scania – The history of Ringsjöverket
The waterworks Ringsjöverket in Stehag in Skåne has a long prehistory prior its inauguration in 1963. In this paper, the background to how the waterworks developed from an idea to a full-scale regional drinking water treatment plant for the cities of Eslöv, Helsingborg and Landskrona is described for the period from 1947 to 1963. During […]
Desalination and brine discharge case study for paew in Oman / En fallstudie om avsaltning och utsläpp av retentat för PAEW i Oman
Desalination is an important method for producing drinking water and it has been a freshwater supply alternative for a long time. The water resources in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, are mostly depending on desalination as a major source of (>80 %) drinking water, while the rest comes from groundwater. The largest number of […]
Comparing the phosphorus regimes in soft sediments from two sub-systems of the Baltic sea with different redox conditions / En jämförelse mellan fosforbindningen i sediment från Bottenhavet och egentliga Östersjön och syrehaltens betydelse
The role of sediments in the phosphorus (P) dynamics of the Baltic Sea is often highlighted. The impact of the sediments on the water column is strictly limited by the amount of potentially mobile P available in the sediments. We present total P measurements for ten sediment cores from the Bothnian Sea and the Baltic […]
Global Water Stress Indices: An example of their industrial usage / Globala vattenstressindex: Ett exempel på industriell tillämpning
The article presents a study assigned by SCA about water stress assessments on basin level for sites where SCA have pulp- and paper mills, paper mills or factories. Four tools were evaluated with the aim to find indices that measure water stress, i.e. lack of water of good enough quality for humans and the ecosystem. […]
Characterisation of natural organic matter (NOM) in water treatment using seed extracts / Karakterisering av naturligt organiskt material i vattenrening med hjälp av fröextrakt
Stormwater is known to be a potentially large contributor of toxic substances to receiving waters. To be able to This study evaluates the potential of using natural plant extract in water treatment and its corresponding effects on the final treated water. Fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEMs) were used to characterise NOM in water treated using Okra […]
Pilot-Scale Iron Electrocoagulation for Natural Organic Matter Removal / Avskiljning av naturligt organiskt material med järnelektrokoagulering i pilotskala
A scaled-up, continuous iron electrocoagulation reactor was built for drinking water treatment research. The impact of current density (i), metal loading (ML) and inter-electrode gap (d) on the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) was studied at 1.35 L/min. Removal performance was evaluated using UV-abs-254 and DOC analysis. Larger d provided the greatest reductions in […]
Coastal Evolution at Nha Trang Bay, Vietnam / Kustutvecklingen vid Nha Trang-bukten, Vietnam
Over the past years the southern beach of Nha Trang, located in the south central of Vietnam, has started to indicate signs of erosion in the northern part. As the beach plays an important role for this touristic hotspot, the fear that the erosion will become severe has been raised. The limited knowledge and few […]
