1. Environmental impact of peat mining : Development of storm water treatment methods
Sammanfattning : Drainage of peatlands increases the transport of suspended solids (SS) and the leaching of nutrients to downstream receiving waters. Increased settling of peat and eutrophication of lakes has been noted in many studies downstream from peat mines. LÄS MER
2. Driving rain tightness, intrusion rates and phenomenology of leakages in defects of façades: A new calculation algorithm
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the driving rain tightness of façades with façade details as well as the water leakage flows that can be expected. Furthermore, it describes the key mechanisms for water leakage in defects in the outermost layer of external walls. LÄS MER
3. Data preparation, hydrodynamic and contaminant transport shallow-water simulations of Lake Victoria
Sammanfattning : This study explores shallow lake numerical hydrodynamic processes that support model development and validation, extreme events and effects of water circulation in Lake Victoria. Lake Victoria is the second largest freshwater lake in the world, and the largest in East Africa. LÄS MER
4. Beneficial Use of Stormwater - Opportunities for urban renewal and water conservation
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the beneficial use of stormwater in Swedish urban environments. The focus has been on open stormwater systems for source control, as well as rainwater collection systems. To analyse the implementation of open stormwater systems, two case studies are presented: Augustenborg in Malmö and Bäckaslöv wetland in Växjö. LÄS MER
5. Green roof vegetation and storm water runoff quantity - Effects of plant traits, diversity and life strategies
Sammanfattning : Green roofs have gained recognition and popularity globally for their potential to help mitigate the negative impacts of urbanization such as habitat loss and disruption of the water cycle caused by increased impervious surfaces. However, there is still a need to enhance our understanding of green roof vegetation dynamics and how they affect plant water use and hydrological function under varying environmental conditions.
