1. 16. Beneficial Use of Stormwater - Opportunities for urban renewal and water conservation

   Författare :Edgar Villarreal-Gonzalez; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; offshore technology; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; water conservation; rainwater collection; Best Management Practices; Urban stormwater; green-roofs; open drainage systems;

   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

3. 17. Urban Surfaces as Sources of Stormwater Pollution : An Evaluation of Substances Released from Building Envelopes

   Författare :Alexandra Müller; Maria Viklander; Helene Österlund; Jiri Marsalek; Per-Arne Malmqvist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering; Centre - Centre for Stormwater Management DRIZZLE ; Centrumbildning - Centrum för dagvattenhantering DRIZZLE ;

   Sammanfattning : Stormwater is an important transport pathway for pollutants from the urban environment into receiving water bodies, and, thus, it contributes to the deterioration of urban surface waters. The aim of this Licentiate thesis was to advance the understanding of the contributions of urban stormwater pollutants from building surface materials, and evaluate the implications for stormwater quality.

4. 18. Quality of snow deposited in urban areas : Storage, load assessment and release of selected pollutants with snowmelt

   Författare :Arya Vijayan; Maria Viklander; Helene Österlund; Jiri Marsalek; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering; Centre - Centre for Stormwater Management DRIZZLE ; Centrumbildning - Centrum för dagvattenhantering DRIZZLE ;

   Sammanfattning : Snow deposited in urban areas is exposed to pollutants originating from traffic, wet and dry atmospheric deposition, de-icing chemicals and traction materials. The conventional pollutants found in urban snow include solids (TSS), metals (Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb, etc.), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), and chlorides. LÄS MER

5. 19. Metal pathways in stormwater treatment systems

   Författare :Laila Søberg; Lian Lundy; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Heavy metals in urban stormwater runoff affect the ecological status of receiving surface waters. To avoid this, various stormwater treatment systems have been developed and implemented during the last 50 years. One of themost common and continuously popular systems is wet stormwater ponds.

7. 20. Urban stormwater systems in future climates : assessment and management of hydraulic overloading

   Författare :Karolina Berggren; Adrian Saul; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VA-teknik; Urban Water Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Increasing global temperatures and tendencies of more frequent extreme weather events have been observed over the recent decades, and the continuation of this trend is predicted by future climate models. Such climatic changes impact on many human activities and hence the interest in, and focus on, climate change has increased rapidly in recent years. LÄS MER
