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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
