1999-2

In September 1997, the benthic habitat in Åsfjorden in Lake Vänern was studied at 23 stations by sediment profile imaging. Grab samples for qualitative analysis of the fauna was taken at nine stations. The sediment surface was oxidized at all stations and showed indication of biological activity by rubificids and chironomids in the entire Åsfprden. […]

The development and application of simulation models in water and environmenral planning and management have expanded greatly over the last decades. Such models are used in, for example, water quality assessments, and it is expected thai models will be applied for analyses and decision making to a greater and greater extent in the future. However, […]

The relationships between water composition, formation factors and human impact were studied. Runoff was dependent on hydrological factors, but differing levels between eastern and western Larvia. Since knowledge of the seasonal dynamics of nutrient concentrations, and of the nutrient sources and sinks are especially important, the specific loads from different parts of Larvia were evaluaied. […]

A model system for advanced management of accidental toxic spill in drinking water sources is described. The system is based on the 1-D river model RIVTOX and 3-D lake model THREETOX. The model system was applied to the Lake Vomb catchment, which is located in the south of Sweden and from which approximately 400 000 […]

In a not too distant furure we will be working wiih Water management in Sweden, covering all river basin districts, with access to steering instrumenrs enabling us to achieve the decided objeaives. For decades people with specific interest in water management in Sweden have been trying to use water management in physical planning and environmental […]

The article gives a presentation of the Swedish environmental protecaon agency‘s project on Water management, a project concerning warer management and the implementation process of the EG Water framework directive on water policy. The overall aim of the project is to enhance the process ofimplementation, doing so by trying to find our difficulties concerning our […]
