  1. 1. Improved Understanding of Water Balance in the Malwathu Oya River Basin Using SWAT and Remote Sensing

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Alexander Fors; [2022]
    Nyckelord :actual evapotranspiration; Malwathu Oya; remote sensing; Sri Lanka; SWAT modelling; SWAT calibration; WaPOR; water balance; faktisk evapotranspiration; fjärranalys; Malwathu Oya; Sri Lanka; SWAT-modellering; SWAT-kalibrering; vattenbalans; WaPOR;

    Sammanfattning : As the need for climatic data is increasing in times of climate change and water scarcity, remote sensing (RS) and hydrological modelling are ways to battle these problems, especially in data scarce areas. The actual evapotranspiration (ETa) is one of the key parameters when assessing the water balance and a good estimate of this parameter is thus of great importance. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effects of afforestation of agricultural land on the water balance in Ethiopian Highlands

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Mwala Silumesi; [2022]
    Nyckelord :acacia decurrens; aquaCrop Mode; afforestation; water balance; teff;

    Sammanfattning : In this study, I examined how land use change affects the partitioning of water and how soil-plant interactions are impacted by yearly rainfall at a stand scale. Even though many studies have been conducted to evaluate the extent of land use change and the economic impacts, few have attempted to study the rapid farmer-driven afforestation with Acacia decurrens and also disaggregated dry, normal and dry seasons at stand scale.

  4. 3. The cooling potential of Rain Gardens and Green Roofs - The influence on energy partitioning in Kvillebäcken, Gothenburg

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Julia Cederbrant; [2021-07-05]
    Nyckelord :urban energy balance; urban water balance; SUEWS; energy partitioning; Blue-green infrastructure;

    Sammanfattning : Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) has become a popular way of combating the effects of climate change, both regarding heat mitigation and runoff from precipitation. This thesis aims to understand the potential of two BGI types, namely rain gardens and green roofs, of increasing the latent heat fraction in an urban area and thereby also understand the possible cooling effect from these measures.

  5. 4. Effects of afforestation and crop systems on the water balance in the highlands of Ethiopia

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Rebecca Naomi Ter Borg; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Acacia decurrens; landscape water balance; sediment yield; soil and water conservation; SWAT modelling; water balance partitioning;

    Sammanfattning : In the Upper Blue Nile Basin land use is rapidly changing due to agricultural development and intensification with potential effects on the water availability both up- and downstream. This study is aimed to explore the impact of agricultural land use change on a landscape water balance. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Transport and retention of heavy metals in contaminated soil and groundwater : A case study from Pukeberg glassworks in Småland, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Författare :Gitte Laallam; [2017]
    Nyckelord :Hydrology; hydrogeology; contaminated areas; heavy metals; hydrologi; hydrogeologi; förorenade områden; metaller;

    Sammanfattning : As much as 80 000 sites, including landfills from glass production industries, are estimated to be contaminated in Sweden. One of these landfills is located near the glassworks factory of Pukeberg, in the municipality of Nybro, Southeast Sweden. LÄS MER
