A drastic land use change and environmental degradation take place in Southern Andean Patagonia steep watersheds, especially upstream the urbanized areas. The paper presents a synthesis of environmental degradation assessment due erosion at Trabunco-Quitrahue watershed, near the top ski resort of San Martín de los Andes (Argentina). In order to evaluate the degradations processes, a combination of...
This paper introduces a new approach to the modelling of interdisciplinary river catchment management, a project for the management of watersheds being conducted at the UFZ Environmental Research Centre. The new European Union Water Framework Directive shifts the management of water resources beyond political boundaries (e.g. state, country) to focus on the total river catchment area. The project...
The major point for Lacar Demosite (LDS) is the sustainable management of a representative basin of Andean Patagonian region where the main problem is the impact of land transformation on water quality and environmental services. The aim of the LDS is the reduction of soil erosion, the mitigation of floods in urban areas and the improvement of ecosystem services, based on Ecohydrological ideas and...
Lake Gudera, a highland lake, is highly degraded by agricultural activity, but still serves the local community for irrigation and livestock watering. Preliminary investigations indicated chemical composition of NO3 (0.7 mg dm-3), turbidity (26 NTU) and conductivity (78 μs cm-1) with poor floristic and faunistic composition. The Community Elders explained that the wetland encroachment started in 1986/1987,...
