In this study a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of a sustainable drainage system (SuDS) as a risk reduction measure is performed. The case is applied on the flood prone area Söderkulla in Malmö, where the focus of the study is quantification and valuation of the expected increase in ecosystem services as a result of the SuDS. […]

The applicability of UV/VIS spectroscopy for the characterization of well water quality was studied by analyzing 219 private wells from sparsely populated areas of Finland. In addition to conventional water quality indicators, such as conductivity, nitrate and DOC, a series of UV/VIS spectroscopic parameters were determined: A-224, A-254, A-280, A-365, A-436, the area under 250–350 […]

Due to climate change, more extreme precipitation is expected to strike cities around the world. Urbanization along with densification of urban areas magnifies the impact of heavy rainfall. More robust and flexible storm water systems that mimic processes of the hydrological cycle are needed to make urban environments more flood resilient. Such systems must be […]

Med anledning av arbetet med EUs vattendirektiv skrev jag 2000 en debattartikel med titeln »Vatten – demokrati och inflytande med ett nytt EG-direktiv» (Karlsson 2000). Eftersom vattendirektivet hade en tidplan med flera delmål kändes det då frestande att beskriva ett framtidsscenario. Artikeln andas enorm optimism och entusiasm – svår att förstå så här i efterhand. […]
