Potentials for numerical models in water management recommendations for local water management with stakeholder involvement / Möjligheter för numeriska modeller inom vattenförvaltning Rekommendationer för lokal vattenförvaltning med aktörssamverkan
The outcomes from two Swedish IHP workshops on the use of numerical models in water management are presented. The workshops involved researchers and modellers from various parts of Europe and representatives from the Swedish water management sector. Recommendations of good practices in the use of models, with emphasis on local water management and stakeholder involvement […]
Hydraulic flocculation with up-flow roughing filters for pre-treatment of surface water prior to conventional rapid sand filtration / Hydraulisk flockning med uppströmsförfilter för förbehandling av ytvatten före konventionell snabbsandfiltrering
Hydraulic flocculation has been used in many different ways in drinking water treatment for many years. In this paper, the results of experimental work using an up-flow roughing filter for hydraulic flocculation prior to treatment with conventional rapid sand filtration are presented. The objective was to evaluate optimum flocculation conditions with up-flow roughing filtration and […]
Effects of sugarcane expansion on runoff and evapotranspiration in the Rio Grande basin, Brazil / Effekter av sockerrörsplantagers utbredning på avrinning och avdunstning i Rio Grandes avrinningsområde i Brasilien
The demand for biofuel has increased in recent years as more countries desire to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. Therefore, the amount of sugarcane plantations has rapidly increased in Brazil, one of the largest producers of ethanol from sugarcane in the world. This increase raises concerns of what effects this replacement of native vegetation […]
Effekter orsakade av extrema vattenstånd och vågor i Lundåkrabukten – situationen idag och i ett framtida scenario / Impact of extreme sea levels and waves in the bay of Lundåkra – present situation and future scenarios
We are living in a time where we are being frequently reminded of the threat of a drastic climate change. Understanding the complexity of the climate remains a major challenge when trying to predict the consequences of this change. Nevertheless, there are today enough results from numerous studies to create a reasonable idea of possible […]
Öppen dagvattenlösning med svackdiken för Norra Borstahusen modellerat med MIKE SHE / Sustainable urban drainage using swales in Norra Borstahusen, a study made in MIKE SHE
In the city of Landskrona the residential area Norra Borstahusen will be constructed. There is an interest to investigate the possibility of sustainable urban drainage for the area. The aim of this paper is to investigate if it is possible to uses swales do avert water from roads and houses during extreme rain events. This […]
Föroreningsreduktion och flödesutjämning i makadammagasin – En studie av ett makadammagasin i Kungsbacka / Pollutant Removal Efficiencies and Flow Detention of Infiltration Trenches – An Investigation of an Infiltration Trench in Kungsbacka
Infiltration trenches are commonly applied for treatment of urban stormwater. However, the opinions whether their main purpose is to detain peak flows or to reduce pollutant loads of urban stormwater, are varying. In Sweden, there is also a lack of accurate data of the pollutant removal efficiencies and the results of the performed studies are […]
Floodwater harvesting for artificial recharge and spate irrigation in arid area / Artificiell grundvattenbildning och översvämningsbevattning med flodvatten i ett aridt område
Utilizing passive floodwater harvesting for artificial recharge and spate irrigation in arid and semiarid areas is an opportunity to use marginal water to improve the livelihood of rural community. In the present study, groundwater modeling to estimate recharge, and field experiments for spate irrigation of barley, were carried out to investigate the performance and potential […]
Salt transfer under irrigation with treated wastewater in semi-arid Tunisia / Salttransport under bevattning med renat avloppsvatten i norra Tunisien
Tunisia is a country with limited water resources and is in need of irrigation to sustain the agriculture. Treated wastewater is used as an irrigation water source in some areas. The use of saline treated wastewater can lead to soil salinization which could pose a serious threat to the agriculture. A field study was performed […]
