4. 2. Subsurface dams in water resource management : methods for assessment and location

   Author : Imran Ali Jamali; Bo Olofsson; Stephen Foster; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Subsurface dams; Groundwater; GIS; Regolith thickness; Groundwater; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : Natural groundwater storage can be improved by constructing a subsurface barrier that is a subsurface dam, in order to capture the subsurface flows and raise the groundwater levels (GWLs) in the sediment layers. Subsurface dams are preferable to surface dams because of lower evaporation, higher functionality, lower cost of construction, lessened risk for contamination and the possibility of utilizing land over the dam.

5. 3. Towards a BIM-enabled Facility Management : Promises, Obstacles and Requirements

   Author : Pouriya Parsanezhad; Milan Horemuz; Väino Tarandi; Song Han-Suck; Arto Kiviniemi; KTH; []
   Keywords : Building Information Modelling; facility management; interoperability; BIM; FM; Real Estate and Construction Management; Fastigheter och byggande;

   Abstract : A substantial share of the organisations’ annual costs is associated with their facilities. A fundamental shift from a reactive facility management (FM) practice to a strategically orchestrated FM profession is thus a prerequisite for increased resource efficiency. READ MORE

6. 4. Fisheries biology of the edible crab (Cancer pagurus) in the Kattegat and the Skagerrak - implications for sustainable management

   Author : Anette Ungfors; Göteborgs universitet; []
