  1. 1. Soil compaction and the effect on infiltration in urban green environments : A study based on field measurements and HYDRUS 1D modelling

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå,

    Författare :Anastasia Novikova; [2023]
    Nyckelord :HYDRUS; surface runoff; soil compaction; urban environments;

    Sammanfattning : The consequences of recent flooding and extreme rain events have highlighted the importance of proper urban planning and preventative measures for storm water management. As cities become more urbanized the significance of permeable surfaces such as parks and other urban green spaces increases which infiltrate the water into the ground. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Storm Water Management with BlueGreen Infrastructure in Urban Planning : A case-study in Krokom, Sweden

    Kandidat-uppsats, Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

    Författare :Lena Suleiko Allansson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Sustainable drainage system SuDS ; nature-based solutions; ecosystem services; urban water management; climate change adaption;

    Sammanfattning : As changing climate and growing urban populations present new challenges for managing both the quantity and the quality of storm waterin cities, nature-based solutions such as blue-green infrastructure arebecoming widely considered as an alternative to grey infrastructure. The benefits, above providing storm water management at a lower cost, are increased ecosystem services. LÄS MER

  3. 3. The Influence of Infiltration Capacity and Antecedent Soil Moisture Conditions on Urban Pluvial Flooding

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Författare :Disa Barkefors; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Urban pluvial flood; 2D modelling; MIKE ; urban green area; soil moisture; Chicago Design Storm;

    Sammanfattning : Urban pluvial floods occur during extreme rain events and both occurrence and magnitude of these floods are expected to increase. Preserving or constructing green areas in urban areas has been shown to mitigate and control these floods. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Analys av hygrotermiska processer genom en tungt isolerad yttervägg med hjälp av realtidsmätningar

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : I Undervisningshuset på Kungliga Tekniska Högskolans campus används Building Management Systems med syfte att kunna användas för att studera byggnadens olika system. Med hjälp av 767 installerade sensorer på olika ställen i konstruktionen loggas varje minut en mängd parametrar såsom temperatur, koncentration av koldioxid och luftfuktighet. LÄS MER

  5. 5. The future of flooding insurances : A qualitative review of how insurances regarding flood damage might change in the future of the insurance industry in Sweden

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Kulturgeografiska institutionen

    Författare :David Nyström; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Pluvial flooding; Insurance industry; GIS; Extreme weather; Climate change.;

    Sammanfattning : Insurance companies are grappling with the rising frequency and severity of extreme weather-related flooding events, which currently pose the highest financial burden both in total and per individual case. The existing insurance model isn't economically sustainable if such events continue to increase. LÄS MER
