The Flommen Lagoon, southern Sweden, is a unique water body of great ecological and economic values. Thus, its protection against flooding and its water quality maintenance has always been a concern. The objective of this study was to investigate the water exchange between the lagoon and the sea with regards to the inlet properties and […]

A model for establishing effluent limitations for small scale wastewater treatment is presented in this article. The effluent limitations are based on the publication HVMFS 2016:17 from the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management. The proposed limitations have been adjusted based on waste content, water consumption and uncertainty of measurement. In addition, an analysis […]

We argue in this paper that Swedish urban areas have several urgent challenges when it comes to water governance and we propose seven principles for addressing them. Climate change and urban growth call for swift action to manage both water scarcity and flooding in an integrated way. This paper focuses on the municipal level for […]
