  Scientific standards in Environmental Impact Assessments for projects on the improvement of navigation on the Danube      
  Posted by [2008-12-18 09:56:55]      
         
  Economic development includes navigation as a sustainable way of transport. The needs of improvement along the Danube can be summarized in the two parameters of 2,5 m depth and 180 m width of the fairway. The ecological preconditions still need to be defined to guarantee that on one hand the European standards and legislations are fulfilled, but even more important to avoid dramatic consequences on biodiversity and climate.
In this frame IAD delegations consequently take part in the ICPDR expert group on the joint statement on environment and navigation, and the workshops and negociations ... [more...]

The Secretariat of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) coordinated the implementation of JDS2.
Similar to the first survey, JDS 2 had several specific objectives:

  Recolonization experiments of Palingenia mayfly in the Lippe and Odera Rivers in Germany  
         
  Posted by [2008-03-25 15:00:10]      
         
  Between the Chair of Zoology of the College in Eger/Hungary and the Institute of Zoology of the University of Bonn/Germany an arrangement was closed in 2005 for a scientific collaboration. The purpose of this collaboration was the resettlement of the Palingenia longicauda mayfly in some running waters of Germany.
The role of the Palingenia mayfly in running waters is very important. The larvae use the materials of the bottom by bioturbation. They are also important members of food-web in running waters.
Earlier Palingenia longicauda was a characteristic benthic species of middle and lower ... [more...]
