Urban Water Engineering
The Urban Water Engineering research group aims at contributing to the development of more sustainable urban water management systems focusing on:
- Snow and stormwater quality
- Stormwater treatment (biofilter, wet ponds and advanced treatment technology)
- Green Infrastructure and adaptation of urban water systems to climate change
- Sewer system ( inflow and infiltration, renovation strategies, FOG (fat, oil and grease) deposits and innovative sewer installations)
- Stormwater planning and responsibility
- Waste water treatment in small scale facilities
Established in 1993, the Urban Water Engineering research group has produced 32 doctoral theses since then. Today, the group consists of 20 senior researchers, two adjunct professors, two coordinators, three research engineers and 27 PhD candidates.
Urban Water Engineering covers all aspects of urban water systems (stormwater, drinking water and waste water) with respect to collection, transport, treatment and organization / planning. Research in this field aims at structures for good economy and environment, wise use of resources and care for society's safety and health.

How does climate affect the infiltration capacity of stormwater facilities?
The question of whether and how climate and geographical location can affect the ability of infiltration-based stormwater facilities, such as biofilters, green roofs and grassed swales, to manage runoff volumes has been investigated by Iván Mantilla ...

Runoff from building materials affect the surrounding environment
How does runoff from different building materials affect aquatic organisms? This was the subject of a new study from Luleå University of Technology. For the first time, the actual effects of runoff on the aquatic organisms were investigated.
