How does stormwater effect microplastic contamination?

Stormwater runoff is a known pathway for mobilization and transport of microcontaminants from terrestrial environments to diverse aquatic ecosystems (ponds, rivers and sea). Yet, there is a lack of evaluation before and after rainfall events which limits the knowledge on the actual influence of stormwater in microplastic contamination.

New network for you who works with infiltration, inflow and overflows

Stormwater&Sewers participates in the Swedish Water forum on infiltration/inflow (I/I) and overflows. The forum has now decided to coordinate a network for all professionals who have an interest in I/I and issues related to overflows.

Annelie Hedström has been promoted to professor

Annelie Hedström, Luleå University of Technology, has been promoted to professor. In her new role, Annelie will continue to contribute to the development of the research subject Urban Water Engineering and the undergraduate education conducted by the subject. Annelie will have a special focus on the research area of sewer systems and issues concerning the development of more resource-efficient urban water systems.

Pulsatile flow may increase performance of ultrafiltration

Treatment of stormwater with a pulsatile liquid flow on ultrafiltration membranes may improve purification properties.

EUROSAM 16-17 June

EUROSAM workshop 2021 goes on-line

Sewers and climate conference (RÖK 2021)

In March, Swedish Water arranged its ordinary Sewers and Climate conference (Rörnät och Klimat 2021) online this year

Water Sewerage Cycle 2021 conference

The annual VAK conference went online this year, March 17-18. The program was at least as extensive as in previous years, with the difference that some of the sessions were pre-recorded.

Field work in winter? Absolutely!

Within Stormwater&Sewers, field work is carried out all year round, even wintertime. This winter, snow sampling was carried out for three different projects within Stormwater&Sewers.
