  1. 1. Salt tolerant horticultural plants to save freshwater usage

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Författare :Tsun-Ya Chuang; [2024]
    Nyckelord :climate change; freshwater scarcity; halophyte; salt tolerance; bonsai;

    Sammanfattning : As freshwater becomes scarce worldwide due to climate change and population increases, there is an urgent need to develop innovative approaches to address the issue of reducing freshwater consumption. Selecting species with high ornamental value and salt tolerance for use as green hedges or bonsai in urban or coastal areas could be a strategic approach for promoting greening and maintaining water resource sustainability.

  3. 2. Turning Oil Into Water : Water security in the Middle East and North Africa

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Författare :Frida Salberg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Water security; peak oil; desalination;

    Sammanfattning : This study examines the relationship between oil supply and water security in the Middle East and North Africa. The aim is to see if countries without oil have a harder time mitigating water scarcity, as well as if countries with oil can be expected to become more vulnerable when oil becomes scarcer. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Freshwater Security in Small Island Developing States: A case study of Anguilla

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Julia Korten; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Anguilla; Desalination; Freshwater import; Freshwater security; Small Island Developing State; Sustainable Devel-opment; Wastewater treatment;

    Sammanfattning : Freshwater scarcity leads to serious effects on the socioeconomic and commercial development of a country. The management of freshwater resources will be one of the most pressing issues of this millennium making it a catalyst for war and peace. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Extraction and optimization for modeling ofdesalination by capacitive deionization

    Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Författare :Max Rehman Linder; Zeshen Bao; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Desalination; Capacitive Deionization; ELC model; Adsorption; Simulation;

    Sammanfattning : Water scarcity is set to become a big challenge in the 21st century and more efficient desalinationtechnologies will be needed in the future. In this project, one desalination method called capacitivedeionization (CDI) is explored and we used a model called the ELC model to simulate CDI withComsol. LÄS MER
