Staugeregelte Flüsse in Deutschland - wasserwirtschaftliche und ökologische Zusammenhänge (Impounded rivers in Germany - water-management and ecological aspects) - Müller, D. Schöl. A., Bergfeld, T., Strunck, Y (Hrsg.) - Limnologie aktuell, 12, E. Schweizerbart, Stuttgart, 2006, 337 S.               Posted by [2006-12-20 10:59:12]                   Larger rivers in Germany have been used as waterways since Roman times. Most of them are impounded to improve navigability and hydropower generation. Impounding changes hydrologic-morphological, physical, chemical and biochemical processes and so the living conditions for plants and animals. These impacts are often discussed controversially. Therefore it seemed appropriate to evaluate the findings collected in Germany during the last decades. The subject gained topicality due to the European Water Framework Directive which emphasises the assessment of the ecological situation of waters. ...

Proceedings: The Implementation Process of the EU Water Framework Directive from International, National and Local Perspectives               Abstracts or support material to IAD supported conference at TU Wien, Jan. 19th and 20th, 2006         Posted by [2006-05-23 18:49:10]                   Watersheds of the size of the Danube River employ many levels of planning. The Danube is also the largest river in EU territory with 815,000 km² and 18 countries contribute to the Danube River Basin. Thereby the Danube is not only the most international river, but also the most heterogeneous one. Income disparities and standard of life differences are most diverse within the Danube basin and it is difficult to regard the Danube as one entity from the management point of view. What works well in upstream countries does not necessarily work satisfactory in downstream and vice versa. For this ... [more...]                 Links:                   Document(s):
