The application of ecohydrology principles as part of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has the potential to enhance the resilience of a catchment to anthropogenic impacts. Linking this approach with an understanding of water users and social and economic conditions in a given region, provides a foundation for the development of system solutions. Improving the quality of the environment,...
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...
This study introduced the spatial pattern of PCDD, PCDF and dl-PCB concentration in the sediments of Ethiopian small river-lake system. Among the analyzed samples the highest contamination was observed in the lake littoral (222.11 ng kg-1 d.w.). The lowest concentration was noted at the outflow from the lake (26.65 ng kg-1 d.w.). The WHO-TEQ concentrations showed decreasing trend along the river-lake...
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,...
The paper presents a review of research on functioning of agricultural landscape, mainly on protection of ecosystem services, carried out by the Institute for Agricultural and Forest Environment, Polish Academy of Sciences in Turew in the period of 1970-2009. The paper concentrates on water balance and water pollution control and the protection of biodiversity in an agricultural landscape. The results...
