Trekanten (Stockholm)
Trekanten ( en, The Triangle) is a small lake in southern-central Stockholm, Sweden. Trekanten is located in a park furnished with an artificial bathing beach and various planted-out fish species. It has a small drainage area with no major feeders. In the early 1980s, potable water was poured into the lake while water from the bottom of the lake was pumped out. These operations resulted in a significant reduction in levels of phosphorus but failed to affect levels of nutrients and oxygen depletion in the bottom layers. Levels of lead and copper are among the highest documented in any lake in Stockholm.Trekanten Whilst the lake flora and fauna is roughly representative for Stockholm, the lake forms a natural link between the bays Årstaviken and Vinterviken. Catchment area Along the shores of the lake is a park created on a flat terrain. Leading up to Nybohov on the southern side of the lake is a Fault (geology), fault bluff with pines and deciduous trees, including hazel. ...

Geography Of Stockholm
The City of Stockholm is situated on fourteen islands and on the banks to the archipelago where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. The city centre is virtually situated on the water. The area of Stockholm is one of several places in Sweden with a joint valley terrain. In these landscapes erosion along geological joints has split the flattish upper surfaces into low-lying plateaus. In the case of Stockholm the plateau surfaces are remnants of the Sub-Cambrian peneplain.

Historically, lakes and watercourses were used as refuse dumps and latrines, causing epidemic cholera and many other diseases. By the 1860s water was being drawn from Årstaviken, the waters south of Södermalm, and was treated in the first water-purifying plant at Skanstull ...

Tvärbanan
Tvärbanan is a light-rail line in Stockholm, Sweden. Its name literally translates to ''The transverse line'', as it operates crosswise to the otherwise radial metro and commuter rail lines of Stockholm. It links together several transit lines through its connections with the southern, western and northern subway branches of the Stockholm Metro (''Tunnelbana'') as well as three branches of the Stockholm commuter rail (''Pendeltåg''). The possibility to travel between southern, western and northern greater Stockholm without having to enter the city centre significantly reduces the number of transit passengers, also reducing the number of trains having to pass through the Old Town bottleneck during peak hours. Near Liljeholmen the track is shared with freight traffic for a short section, this being the only place in Sweden where freight traffic and trams share the same track. The tramway is separated from roads in most parts, but there are sections in Gröndal, Sundbyberg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
