dc.description.abstractThis thesis identifies and evaluates existing methodological approaches to the initial stages of the planning phase of MAR, including the localisation of suitable sites. The aim is to compare methodologies for site suitability evaluation in Swedish conditions. Hydrogeological, geological, and hydrological parameters, which are expected to have a large influence on the site suitability for MAR are identified. This is achieved by conducting a literature study of guidelines, scientific articles and case study reports in the field of MAR site suitability analysis. The main difference in the application lies with the parameters recommended for the evaluation, this is mainly due to the geological differences in Sweden compared to the rest of the world. Furthermore, based on the literature analysis, an approach is selected, adjusted, and implemented in a case study on a region in Sweden to evaluate its suitability in Swedish conditions. The literature review has shown that site suitability evaluation is a crucial part of the planning phase for MAR. The approach of conducting a GIS-MCDA for site suitability evaluation was assessed as possibly suitable for Swedish conditions. To evaluate this, a GIS-MCDA was implemented to the case study with the purpose of identifying suitable areas for MAR. For validation of the results, the outcome of the GIS-MCDA was compared previously identified sites possibly suitable for MAR by Stockholm Vatten AB et al. (1996). As the same areas previously identified as suitable were suggested also in this analysis, the GIS-MCDA was assessed as successful. In conclusion, the methodology found in the literature is assessed as a promising approach to be applied in Swedish conditions.
