2. 1. Groundwater resources in hard rock coastal terrains : Insights into heterogeneity and spatial variability

   Author : Robert Earon; Bo Olofsson; Okke Batelaan; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Crystalline Rock; Groundwater Balance; Kinematic porosity; Groundwater Recharge; Water Security; Coastal Aquifer; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

   Abstract : Challenges regarding water security in hard rock coastal regions with limited soil cover are: a seasonal absence of recharge during times of peak residency, heterogeneity and variability of the fracture network, close proximity to saline water sources and spatially inconsistent storage and extraction. In areas where it is not feasible to connect residents to municipal water systems, a better understanding of the resilience of reservoirs is needed. READ MORE

4. 2. Liquid landscapes: Human-water interactions and water scarcity in Yanque, Peru

   Author : Malene Brandshaug; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; water scarcity; human-water interactions; Peru; water management; more-than-human; entanglements; coloniality; Anthropocene;

   Abstract : In the farming district of Yanque in the Southern Peruvian Andes, everyday life revolves around acquiring enough water for irrigation. This thesis concerns water scarcity and focuses on a range of water management practices. READ MORE

5. 3. Effects of Watershed Dynamics on Water Reservoir Operation Planning : Considering the Dynamic Effects of Streamflow in Hydropower Operation

   Author : Nicholas Zmijewski; Anders Wörman; Andrea Bottacin-Busolin; Francesca Pianosi; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reservoir operation; dispersion processes; wave diffusion; multi-objective operation; water resource management; discharge variability; power spectrum analysis; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : Water reservoirs are used to regulate river discharge for a variety of reasons, such as flood mitigation, water availability for irrigation, municipal consumption and power production purposes. Recent efforts to increase the amount of renewable power production have seen an increase in intermittent climate-variable power production due to wind and solar power production. READ MORE

6. 4. Assessing the health consequences of deficiencies in water distribution networks: a basis for future network management

   Author : Victor Vinas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; QMRA; risk management; distribution network; microbial risk; epidemiological studies;

   Abstract : Drinking water distribution networks are susceptible to incidents that may contaminate the drinking water being served to the population. Five major risks that can impact negatively the health of consumers have been identified by a literature study: intrusion, cross-connections and backflows, unhygienic repairs or maintenance works, inadequate management of storage reservoirs and biofilms.

7. 5. The use of global data to uncover how humans shape flood and drought risk

   Author : Sara Lindersson; Giuliano Di Baldassarre; Johanna Mård; Luigia Brandimarte; Brett Sanders; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; natural hazards; hydrological disasters; environmental geography; global geospatial data; international databases; disaster losses; disaster consequences; water management; dams and reservoirs; floodplains; hydrological drought; social vulnerability; economic inequality; Anthropocene; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys; Earth Science with specialization in Environmental Analysis;

   Abstract : The human consequences of flood and drought disasters are widespread and detrimental. Large-scale studies, drawing on global geodata products and international databases, can systematically examine how anthropogenic megatrends shape disaster risk and test the generalisability of findings from other scientific methodologies.
