6. Hydrology and forests in the Blue Nile basin : what can be learned from half a century of observations and community perception for water management?
Sammanfattning : Forest cover change is considered a major cause of water scarcity during the dry season in the Blue Nile River Basin of Ethiopia, which is part of the Nile River system. However, this is an over-simplification of the complex reality of forest and flow relationships, especially in the tropics. LÄS MER
7. Impacts of land use change on river streamflow and water quality in a semi-arid catchment : assessment of a catchment under rapid and uncontrolled urbanisation
Sammanfattning : The ongoing degradation of water quality and streamflow in rivers and streams worldwide is mainly due to human action through global land use change, particularly urbanisation. Population growth and economic development are major drivers of urbanisation, which causes environmental problems such as high water demand and solid waste and wastewater generation. LÄS MER
8. Soil compaction: effects on soil hydraulic properties and preferential water flow
Sammanfattning : Soil compaction caused by passage of agricultural machinery over the surface is an issue in many agricultural soils with a high clay content. Compaction is known to modify soil pore structure and soil hydraulic properties, but can also affect the occurrence of preferential flow. LÄS MER
9. Phytoremediation of soil contaminated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
Sammanfattning : Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic compounds recognised for their persistence, mobility and potential toxicity. This thesis examines the efficacy of phytoremediation as a potential technique for managing PFAS-contaminated soil and groundwater. LÄS MER
10. Impact of horse-keeping on phosphorus (P) concentrations in soil and water
Sammanfattning : Agricultural sources contribute significantly to the high phosphorus (P) loads in water, causing eutrophication in many of Europe’s water bodies. Consequently, priority has been given to reducing P leakage from sources, including soils used for animal farming. LÄS MER
