A high resolution flood forecasting tool and hydropower simulator
(Master thesis, 2014)Two hydrological models for two regions in central Norway using respectively observation inputs from stations and distributed inputs from a meteorological model where set up and calibrated to test their performances; ... -
Analysis and modelling of recent large floods on the river Gaula
(Master thesis, 2015)In order to study the flood from 2009, 2010 and 2011 that have been impacting the Gaula waterway, a hydrological and operational model have been built. A brief description of the study is given as an introduction, followed ... -
Climate change impact on wastewater networks
(Master thesis, 2016)The main findings of this thesis are summarized below : The extrapolations from precipitation analysis are too large for long term planning to be use in design drainage system. The 10 years periods of time are too short ... -
Comparison of the hydraulic capacity of different culvert inlet designs under sediment transport conditions
(Master thesis, 2015)Abstract Culverts are important hydraulic structures whose main purpose is to safely convey water through infrastructures crossing streams (e.g. roads). Several design guidelines exist for clear water conditions, but none ... -
Concrete Dams Constructed on Soil Materials
(Master thesis, 2015)Rock may not always be encountered at economical depth to have foundation dam on it. It is a typical situation in Nepal where several meters deep alluvium is expected before reaching competent rock. Several dams have been ... -
Evaluation and upgrade of the Telemark flood model
(Master thesis, 2016)Flood forecasting models are important tools that could be used to find the optimum way to operate hydropower reservoirs in order to reduce flood disasters of especially human settles close to these reservoirs. The flood ... -
Hydrological Analysis of Tekeze Hydropower System in the Current and Future Climate
(Master thesis, 2015)Climate change is expected to intensify the already high hydrological variability and energy production in various regions of the world. This research work investigates the runoff and energy production in the current and ... -
Hydrological forecasting in catchments with glaciers
(Master thesis, 2015)The runoff forecast is crucial in Norway because the country bases most of its electricity from hydropower. The hydrological model has thus been improved for years in order to foresee the runoff in the best possible way. ... -
Impact of Climate Change on Hydropower Potential in the Koshi Basin, Nepal
(Master thesis, 2015)Water resource has been termed as main source of development, in Nepal. Steep gradients, perennial river system and huge storage as snow in Himalayas makes perfect environment for hydropower production in Nepal. Such ... -
Improvement of flood forecasting simulations with the Telemark Flood Forecasting Model
(Master thesis, 2016)Flood is the most common environmental hazard worldwide and can have an devastating consequences affecting the economy, environment, and people. The causes and nature of flood may be different, but it is important to control ... -
Modeling the trade-off between production of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) and power at Laudal Hydropower plant.
(Master thesis, 2014)A modelling study on the trade-offs between the production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and the production of power at Laudal hydropower plant was conducted. The study examined the use of physical mitigation measures ... -
Optimize Operations and Future Development on Multi-Purpose Tana Beles Hydropower Project
(Master thesis, 2016)Abstract Different projects in Tana-Beles basins were identified as water resource development project and implemented to attain the country s development goals. One of these projects is Tana-Beles multipurpose hydropower ... -
Physical model study on impacts of landslide generated wave action on embankment dams
(Master thesis, 2015)The master thesis "Physical model study on impacts of landslide generated wave action on embankment dams" has been written in collaboration with the Department of Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering at NTNU and the ... -
Reducing Urban Water System's Carbon Footprint and Reservoir Water Balance Study in Ceuta, Spain
(Master thesis, 2016)This study seeks to reduce the energy consumed by the water company in Ceuta by implementing two type of developments: hydropower and solar photovoltaic project. It will be necessary to design both schemes and determine ... -
Regional modelling of the Narayani basin in Nepal.
(Master thesis, 2016)Computing inflow from ungauged basins is a challenge in practical hydrology since many planning assignments is located in areas where no data is available. A number of methods are developed to handle ungauged basins ... -
Reservoir Sedimentation Study for the Bunakha Hydro-electric Project
(Master thesis, 2016)This thesis presents a study on the sedimentation of the reservoir of the Bunakha Hydro-electric Project in Bhutan. Although the Detailed Project Report for this peaking reservoir scheme has already been completed, it has ... -
Runoff Modelling For Bhutan Using Satellite Data
(Master thesis, 2016)Due to the limitations posed by the difficult terrain and lack of resources to install and manage the hydro-meteorological stations, Bhutan faces challenges related to sparse data network while planning water resource ... -
Simulation of Sediment Yield Using SWAT Model: A case of Kulekhani Watershed
(Master thesis, 2015)Abstract Soil erosion is the major cause of land degradation and reservoir sedimentation. Therefore, modelling of runoff and sediment yield at a watershed level is very important. A conceptual, distributed and continuous ... -
