  2. 1. Managing agricultural nutrient leaching within the EC Water Framework Directive in Sweden

    Author : Anna-Lena Bratt; Per Sandén; Martin Ljung; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nutrient leaching; agricultural pollution; C Water Framework Directive; water quality; legislation; övergödning; lantbruk; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

    Abstract : Agricultural management practices geared towards reducing nutrient leaching are in focus for the research presented in this thesis. Critical measures for reducing diffuse pollution from the agricultural sector depend on decisions of individual farmers. READ MORE

  4. 2. Environmental impact of peat mining : Development of storm water treatment methods

    Author : Bjørn Kløve; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeology; drainage artificial floodplaines; phosphorus; suspended solids; nitrogen; erosion; peat mining; peak runoff controll; sedimentation; water treatment; water resources; hydrology; hydraulics; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; teknisk geografi; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi;

    Abstract : Drainage of peatlands increases the transport of suspended solids (SS) and the leaching of nutrients to downstream receiving waters. Increased settling of peat and eutrophication of lakes has been noted in many studies downstream from peat mines. READ MORE

  5. 3. Leaching of concrete : the leaching process and its effects

    Author : Tomas Ekström; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; material technology; water permeability.; concrete dams; byggnadsteknik; building construction; leaching; materiallära; materialteknik;

    Abstract : The present report presents an experimental study of leaching of concrete caused by water percolating through the concrete, or by diffusion from concrete to external water in contact. An apparatus was designed and constructed in which de-ionised water could be forced, by external pressure, through a number of concrete specimens of differing characteristics. READ MORE

  6. 4. Evaluation of Modern Irrigation Techniques with Brackish Water

    Author : Tarek Selim Aboulila; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Soil water; Soil Salinity; Drip irrigation; HYDRUS-2D 3D; El-Salam Canal; Egypt.;

    Abstract : Modern irrigation techniques are becoming increasingly important in water-scarce countries especially in arid and semiarid regions. Higher crop production and better water use efficiency are usually achieved by drip irrigation as compared to other irrigation methods. READ MORE

  7. 5. Unsaturated Phase Environmental Processes in MSWI Bottom Ash

    Author : Aamir Ilyas; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bottom Ash; Frequency Domain; Hydrogen Recovery; Leaching; Microbial Respiration; Eco-toxicity; Solid Waste;

    Abstract : Every year, Sweden produces 1.5 million tons of incineration residues from waste to energy plants. Among these residues bottom ash(BA) due to its large volume and good geotechnical quality can be reused as an alternative construction material. READ MORE
