Jämfört med andra ekosystem som våtmarker eller skogar så har de urbana ekosystemen blivit relativt lite uppmärksammade. Att integrera vegetation i urbana miljöer bidrar till positiva hälsoaspekter, stärker den biologiska mångfalden samt bidrar till sociala värden. Begreppet ekosystemtjänster har blivit allt mer etablerat de senaste åren och det finns en stor efterfrågan på verktyg för att värdera

Examensarbetet undersöker möjligheten att låta avbördningskapaciteten – det vill säga sambandet mellan vattennivå och vattenföring – vara vägledande för bedömning av underhållsbehovet i åar och diken. Den potentiella nyttan av en sådan metod bedöms vara hög då den skulle kunna minska frekvensen av omotiverade underhållsinsatser som påverkar vattenmiljön negativt. Arbetet utgår från ett dikningsförThis master thesis project investigates the possibility of using stage–discharge relationships for evaluation of river maintenance demands.
