1. Watershed-based design of stormwater treatment facilities : model development and applications
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Trace metals in swale soils and sediments from gully pots and stormwater management ponds
Sammanfattning : Three commonly used drainage system components, with considerably different characteristics and roles in stormwater management, were studied and reported on in this thesis: (i) grass swales, (ii) gully pots (GPs), and (iii) stormwater management ponds. With time, solids and associated pollutants accumulate in these components, and regular maintenance is needed to ensure that their design functions, including protection of the environment, are sustained.

3. Grassed swales for urban storm drainage
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the environmental, economic and functional aspects of using grassed swales for the conveyance and treatment of stormwater. A grassed swale is a shallow, grass-lined channel. LÄS MER
4. Climate and geographical influence on the performance of infiltration-based facilities for managing runoff – Temporal and spatial variability
Sammanfattning : Climate change is expected to lead to more intense and severe rainfall events in the future, significantly increasing the risk of urban flooding. This change, characterized by spatial and temporal shifts in precipitation patterns, presents a challenge to the capacity of existing urban drainage systems, which may lead to higher runoff volumes than they were initially designed to handle.

5. Green Urban Drainage Infrastructure : Hydrology and Modelling of Grass Swales
Sammanfattning : The management of urban runoff has evolved along with the advancement of understanding of runoff environmental impacts. Besides the impacts on water quality in the receiving waters, the impacts on the urban hydrologic regime include reduced infiltration by the sealing of pervious land, reduced evapotranspiration by removal of vegetation, and the resulting increase of stormwater runoff peaks and volumes causing flooding, and ultimately degradation of receiving waters.
