  2. 1. Global and continental perspectives on the sustainability of future agricultural water management

    Author : Luigi Piemontese; Fernando Jaramillo; Luigia Brandimarte; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water; sustainable water management; agriculture; water harvesting; climate change; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : Ensuring water and food security in the Anthropocene requires an understanding of combined climate change patterns and land and water management options from local to global scale. In many regions, irrigation from river and groundwater sources is being used at unsustainable rates and climate change will further threaten those water sources. READ MORE

  4. 2. Efficient Management of Water Utilities : Sustainability Analysis of Swedish Performance

    Author : Nasik Najar; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainability index; reinvestment; facilities status; climate adaptation and flood security; ; water utility in Sweden;

    Abstract : In Sweden, a sustainability index (SI) has been used since 2014 as an internal benchmark management tool to analyse and steer municipal water and wastewater (WW) activities toward sustainability. A consistent trend in national results from SI across all years is that while day-to-day operations are working well, there are deficiencies in strategies for long-term planning. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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.
