I takt med urbaniseringen har hantering av dagvatten blivit en viktig fråga eftersom nederbörden inte längre kan omhändertas av naturen. När naturmarker exploateras och byts ut mot hårdgjorda ytor förändras dagvattenflödet. Nederbörden som tidigare infiltrerats i marken, använts av växterna, långsamt runnit ut i våra vattendrag eller lagrats som grundvatten måste nu omhändertas på annat sätt. Vanligtvis sker detta genom att dagvattnet transporteras bort genom ett underjordiskt ledningsnät till närliggande recipient för att orenat släppas ut.I framtiden förväntas nederbördsmängderna öka, vilket kan få förödande konsekvenser då många ledningsnät redan i dagsläget är underdimensionerade. När ledningsnäten inte klarar av att ta hand om det dagvattenflöde som bildas uppstår översvämningar.

This master thesis encompasses an inventory and risk classification of four disused landfills within the municipality of Uppsala, Sweden. The model of the classification; ?Method of Surveying Contaminated Sites? is developed by the Environmental Protection Agency and can be used as a framework to investigate and describe the environmental damage and the level of risk for each object. The risk classification model has a rating from 1 to 4, where 1 represents a very high risk while 4 is a small risk. Risk class depends largely on the type of land use that exists on the object, and hence, various benchmarks must be taken into account.
