Read MoreLaunch of the Transnational Access Project “Standard for stormwater management in Sweden”
IKT, RISE and Luleå University of Technology launch cooperation within Co-UDlabs Water pollution caused by stormwater discharges from separated sewer systems is currently subject of intense debate, particularly concerning pollutants that are washed off from paved surfaces via stormwater. Decentralized stormwater treatment facilities can mitigate this challenge, as they are designed to retain and treat…

Last Friday, 27th of September, Europe celebrated the Researchers Night. The Co-UDlabs Project took part in this open science initiative to bring scientific findings to the general public. Researchers from the project participated with the event “G-Night. Noite Europea das persoas investigadoras de Galicia”, which was coordinated by the University of Vigo and in which…
Read MoreScientific publication: Measuring heat transfer processes in gully pots for real-time estimation of accumulated sediment depths
Co-UDlabs project partners, Universidade da Coruña and Deltares and have published a paper in the Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology journal. This paper is available in open access. Abstract The accumulation of sediments in stormwater systems negatively affects their functioning. For example, the re-suspension of these sediments can lead to serious pollution of surface water bodies…
