Abstract:

<p>Worldwide amphibians and reptiles are declining with habitat fragmentation and destruction as the primary cause. Riparian areas are important for the herpetofauna, but as land is converted to agriculture or harvested for timber the areas are diminishing. The aim of this study was to examine amphibian and reptile abundance in relation to distance from water and in relation to habitat characteristics, foremost per cent deciduous trees.

Abstract:

The vegetation in the riparian zone of a watercourse in fluences the water state with multiple factors, first via direct substance discharge and secondly via shadow casting on the water surface. Shadowing directly regulates the solar radiant energy arriving at the water surface. Solar radiation input to aquatic environments is the most important abiotic factor for aquatic flora and fauna habitat development. Thus, to adequately asses the ecological state of water courses it is necessary to quantify the solar surface irradiance E (W=m2) arriving on the water surface. When estimating the solar s

Abstract:

The River Roding near Abridge, Essex was monitored during 1979-82 to assess the short-term ecological effects of recent and contemporary river engineering works on a small, rural watercourse. Increased environmental awareness by Thames Water Authority river engineers and scientists resulted in implementation of an ecologically-sensitive flood alleviation scheme which provided an ideal opportunity for a pioneer case study. Sampling procedure was designed to describe aquatic and riparian habitats, flora and fauna along the watercourse. An extensive, 27 Jan survey revealed that the middle Roding

Abstract:

In international law, co-operation is a general concept applied in a variety of contexts. In the context of the law of international watercourses, the general obligation to co-operate and the procedural rules it comprises have a crucial role to play in the implementation of the substantive principles of equitable and reasonable utilisation and of diligent prevention of transboundary harm. The problems lie in the identification of the scope of the obligation, its specific content, legal status and application.

Water quality is of great importance for ecosystems and society.

Cyanobacterial data from 29 lakes and basins as well as total organic carbon (TOC) from 215 watercourses were used. Extensive data on catchment characteristics, morphometry, discharge, temperature and other water chemistry data were also analyzed.

The unprecedented degradation of freshwater ecosystems due to the rampant exploitation of water resources re-establishes the importance of preserving freshwater ecosystems in order to ensure their continued viability that supports the attainment of sustainable development.

Abstract:

Like many cities in the western United States, Tucson, Arizona, was developed on a geometrically determined grid system, with streets aligned with a preset north-south/east-west alignment that paid little heed to the area's natural features and topography. Through necessity, certain watercourses were maintained to help deal with the occasional and sometimes severe flood waters that converge upon the area - however, these features were hidden within, or in some cases under, the urban matrix. This study seeks to examine how secondary watercourses can be partnered with other open space features

Abstract:

Assessment of semi-natural landscapes in urban areas for habitat and human recreation has greater relevance as natural open space around cities disappears. Secondary watercourses can potentially serve as urban wildlife habitat and provide trail networks connecting to the urban mosaic and nearby natural areas. These areas also could extend bird watching into urban areas, an activity that is significantly increasing. This study focused on compatibility of bird habitat with a pedestrian greenway along a secondary watercourse in Tucson, AZ. Creating native bird habitat was emphasized due to the de

Abstract:

Previous studies on the impacts of cattle on the aquatic environment have mainly focused on cold water systems with high intensity grazing, and may be of limited relevance for assessing impacts of cattle grazing on low gradient, low intensity sites such as those in eastern Ontario. The present study looks at changes to the aquatic habitat following the removal of cattle from a watercourse. Biomonitoring was completed at an aquatic restoration site over a four year period encompassing pre- and post-implementation conditions. The initial results indicated modest improvements in the habitat and

Abstract:

Here we report on the effects of an experimental flood on the carbon cycling dynamics in the dry watercourse of the Colorado River in Mexico. We observed post- flood differences in the degree of decay, age, and concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), as well as dissolved CH4 and CO2 concentrations throughout the study site. Our results indicate that this flooded waterway was a limited source of CH4 and CO2 to the atmosphere during the event and that DOC age increased with time of flooding. Based on our findings, we suggest that the interplay between storage and mobilization of carbon

Abstract:

Dans la région traversée par le plus important cours d’eau permanent d’Algérie l’Oued Cheliff, les déchets ménagers sont fréquemment mis en décharges à ciel ouvert, constituant une véritable menace environnementale à cause de la contamination causée par les lixiviats. Deux décharges ont été prises pour étude de cas : la première située sur l’Oued Hillil, affluent secondaire de l’Oued Chéliff et la deuxième localisée sur l’Oued Cheliff.Des prélèvements saisonniers d’eau et de sédiments ont été effectués dans les cours d’eau. Au sein de la décharge les lixiviats et les sols ont aussi été prélevé

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the hydroecological monitoring and river restoration of the Syrovinka watercourse in Hodonín district. In the framework of the hydroecological monitoring a river hydromorphological assessment was conducted as a part of assessing the ecological status of watercourse, to meet the requirement of the Water Framework Directive. Hydroecological monitoring was conducted using methodology HEM 2014, which is accepted as a national standard by the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic. Problematic reaches of watercourse were determined and for the selected reach a river re

Abstract:

At the end of 1995 work was completed on a low level intersecting foul sewer for the upper Pymme' s Brook catchment (north London), known as the East Barnet foul water sewerage scheme. Commissioned by Thames Water Utilities Limited (TWUL), it was intended that this would both resolve flooding problems in the area, and address environmental concerns raised by the Environment Agency (EA). The key element of the scheme was the removal of seven combined sewer overflows (CSOs) that the EA had defined as 'unsatisfactory'. Consequently, the present study assesses the scheme's impact on the brook's en
