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 […]
Quantifying the Rapid Sugarcane Expansion for Ethanol Production in the Rio Grande basin, Brazil / Kvantifiering av hastig spridning av sockerrörsplantage på grund av etanolproduktion i Rio Grandes avrinningsområde, Brasilien
The search for sustainable sources of energy has found a realistic replacement to fossil fuels in ethanol and methanol. In response to this trend, sugarcane plantations have rapidly increased in Brazil. In this study, this sugarcane expansion was mapped for the River Grande basin in the northern São Paulo, considering the real extension of the […]
Hydrogeological mapping of treated waste water infiltration using resistivity surveys / Hydrogeologisk kartläggning av infiltration av renat avloppsvatten genom resistivitetsmätningar
This field study constitutes an evaluation of resistivity surveys as a method of following subsurface water transport. An ABEM Terrameter LS was used to detect chloride enriched infiltrating water. A resistivity profile was established at a field site in Omma outside of Sjöbo, Sweden. The profile followed a slope starting atop a glacifluvial sand deposit […]
Energieffektiviserad luftning på Sternö avloppsreningsverk / Energy improved aeration at Sternö Wastewater Treatment Plant
The objective of this study was to improve the aeration efficiency of a mid-size Swedish wastewater treatment plant in full-scale trials. The full-scale trials were performed at Sternö wastewater treatment plant, which was built in 1997 and is designed for 26,000 population equivalents. The biological treatment at Sternö wastewater treatment plant is performed in two […]
Cost functions for predicting capital expenditure of small town water systems in Ghana Kostnadsfunktioner för investeringar i vattenförsörjningssystem i Ghanas mindre tätorter
Using data gathered by the WASHCost project in Ghana, this study uses cost functions to predict capital expenditure for construction of piped water systems for small towns in Ghana. The data was collected from 45 small towns in peri-urban areas in the Volta, Ashanti and Northern regions of Ghana. Correlation and multiple regression analyses are […]
