1	Vattenbrist i Blekinge län : En kvalitativ studie kring allmänhetens kunskap och medvetenhet kring yt-och grundvattenbrist / Water scarcity in Blekinge county : A qualitative study of the public's knowledge and awareness of surface and groundwater scarcity Nilsson, Michaela January 2020 (has links) Vatten är grunden för allt liv på jorden och en livsviktig resurs för både människor, djur och växtlighet. Trots det tenderar människor att se vatten som en oändlig resurs och tar tillgången på rent dricksvatten för givet. I Sverige används både grundvatten samt ytvatten från vattendrag och sjöar till dricksvatten. Tillgången på sötvatten påverkas av förändringar i klimatet och under de senaste åren har somrarna i de södra delarna av Sverige varit ovanligt torra och varma samtidigt som det har fallit mindre nederbörd än vad som är normalt. Detta har tidvis medfört en osäkerhet kring tillgången på dricksvatten. Syftet med studien som gjordes var att kartlägga allmänhetens kunskap och medvetenhet kring yt-och grundvattenbrist i framförallt de östra delarna av Blekinge län och undersöka ifall denna uppfattning stämde överens med ansvariga offentliga verksamheters strategi och information kring vattenbrist. I studien genomfördes två intervjuer med ansvariga verksamheter för vattenförvaltning i Blekinge län samt en allmän enkätundersökning som metod för att kartlägga allmänhetens kunskap kring vattenbrist. Utifrån resultaten från enkätundersökningen kunde det konstateras att den allmänna medvetenheten kring vattenbrist i Blekinge län generellt sett var god och att utgångspunkten för att människor skulle vara beredda att förändra sina dagliga vanemönster såg relativt hoppfull ut. Däremot framgick det att majoriteten av de respondenter som svarade på enkätundersökningen skulle önska mer information från ansvariga offentliga verksamheter gällande vattenbrist och tydligare riktlinjer för hur man kan gå tillväga för att hushålla med dricksvatten. / Water is the basis of all life on Earth and a vital resource for humans, animals and plants. Despite this, the public tends to see water as an endless resource and many people often take the supply of drinking water for granted. The access of fresh water is affected by climate change and in the last couple of years, the summers in the southernmost parts of Sweden have been unusually dry and warm and meanwhile there has been less precipitation than usual. This has occasionally led to an uncertainty regarding access to drinking water. The purpose of the study was to estimate the awareness of the public regarding surface and groundwater scarcity, particularly in the eastern parts of Blekinge county, and to examine if this awareness overlapped with public authorities' strategies and information about water scarcity. The study consisted of two interviews with responsible water management authorities in Blekinge and a general survey as a means to clarify the public's knowledge about water scarcity. Based on the results of the survey it was determined that the general awareness of water scarcity in Blekinge is generally good. Furthermore, the outlook for changed behaviour among the public on daily habit basis look promising. However, the majority of the respondents in the survey would wish for more information from responsible public authorities regarding water scarcity and more distinct guidelines on how to save drinking water.

Urban intensification is contributing to the volatility of urban waters and the breakdown of the urban water cycle. Inhabitant water misuse and overconsumption is overwhelming aging municipal utilities, resulting in the decay of urban water quality. LEEDTM and The Living Building Challenge are recognized Green Building Guidelines prescribing sustainable site and building water standards. Case Studies of domestic Green Building projects will showcase water conservation to enable domestic water renewal. Net Zero Water Guidelines based on the Green Building Guidelines outline Potable and Non-Potable water use to achieve a sustainable volume of water demand at 70 litres per capita per day. Sustainable water practices are encouraged by utilizing domestic building systems to increase water value and water awareness. Time-of-Use and Choice-of-Use exposure for household water related tasks establish water savings through the use of best-performing water fixtures and appliances. Net Positive Water Guidelines will establish On-site and Building standards for sustainable harvesting and storage of water resources. Clean and Dirty water management will prescribe Passive design and Active mechanical processes to maintain best-available water quality in the urban domestic environment. Net Positive Water building typology will integrate urban inhabitation as a functional component of the urban water cycle to use, reuse, and renew water resources. The method will be tested using a Mid-rise Pilot project to deploy the necessary Passive and Active mechanisms to generate Net Positive Water quality through Net Zero Water sustainable water use. The pilot project is situated in Waterfront Toronto - The Lower Don Lands development to harness regional interests for water renewal and environmental revitalization.
