  • Paleochannel Evolution of the Leitha River (Eastern Austria) – a Bird’S Eye View A

It is formed by the Schwarza river, originating in the Northern Calcareous Alps, and the Pitten river, coming from the Lower Austroalpine unit of the Wechsel area. In contrast to the general trend of the rivers in the southern Vienna Basin towards the NNE di- rectly towards with the Danube, the Leitha river makes an abrupt turn towards the East at Götzendorf. At Rohrau the next turn follows towards the SE and the Leitha runs through the gate of Carnuntum onto the little Hungarian Plain. The confluence with the Moson-Danube lies farther to the East at Mosonmagyaróvár. The geometry of paleochannels of the Leitha river was investigated in the river section between the confluence of Pitten and Schwarza (forming the Leitha) near Lanzenkirchen and Bruck/Leitha by paleochannel digitization using infrared and black and white aerial photography. This study is part of an archaeological project investigating patterns of prehistoric settlements in this region. The section of the Lei- tha river between Lanzenkirchen and Bruck/Leitha is especially suitable for the study of dynamic fluvial processes and the comparison between former natural river behav- ior and present regulated riverbed, because of the transition from relatively high to low river slopes in this section.

Concerning the development of investigation methods, Austrian hydrogeologists did pioneering work mostly in the field of tracer techniques. This is demonstrated by some representative examples. Four examples concern the Northern Calcareous Alps, which bear enormous karst groundwater resourc­ es. These are the Mühlau springs (water supply of the state capital Innsbruck), the Dachstein massif, the Rax-Schneeberg region (First Vienna Water Line) and the Hochschwab region (Second Vienna Water Line). One example concerns the largest pore groundwater aquifer of Austria, the so-called Mitterndorf depression. Here enormous problems with groundwater contamination are present. Introduction to the north of Innsbruck, the Dachstein range in the center of Austria, and the First and Second Vienna Water Lines in Due to the high precipitation in Alpine regions, Austria is a the Rax-Schneeberg and Hochschwab region respectively. water rich country.

This situation has made the search for a single Austro-Hungarian identity so difficult that many historians have declared it impossible. Yet the Dual Monarchy possessed one potentially unifying cultural aspect that has long been critically neglected: the extensive repertoire of marches and patriotic music performed by the military bands of the Imperial and Royal Austro- Hungarian Army. This Militärmusik actively blended idioms representing the various nationalist musics from around the empire in an attempt to reflect and even celebrate its multinational makeup.

  • Assessment of Flood Monitoring and Forecasting in the Danube River Basin
    Assessment of Flood Monitoring And Forecasting in the Danube river basin 1. In General about the Danube River Basin International cooperation of Danube countries has a long tradition especially as far as the utilization of the Danube River as a natural water-way for navigation and transport is concerned. An intensive economic and social development of Danube countries necessitates optimum water utilization not only in the Danube itself but also in its tributaries – i.e. within the whole drainage basin – for drinking and process water supply, hydropower and navigation purposes. The need to protect population and property from disastrous floods led to an effective cooperation of Danube countries. The Danube with a total length of 2 857 km and a longterm daily mean discharge of 6 500 m3.s-1 is listed immediately after the River Volga (length 3 740 km, daily mean discharge 8 500 m3.s-1) as the second largest river in Europe. In terms of length it is listed as 21st biggest river in the world, in terms of drainage area it ranks as 25th with the drainage area of 817 000 km2. The Danube River Basin (DRB) extends in a westerly direction from the Black Sea into central and southern Europe. The limits of the basin are outlined by line of longitude 8° 09´ at the source of the Breg and Brigach streams in Schwarzwald Masiff to the 29° 45´ line of longitude in the Danube delta at the Black Sea. The extreme southern point of the Danube basin is located on the 42° 05´ line of latitude within the source of the Iskar in the Rila Mountains, the extreme northern point being the source of the River Morava on the 50° 15´ line of latitude.

Juni 2001, Reichenau an der Rax Franz NIKDHRWOLFSGRUBKR Zusammenfassung Die 37. Jahrestagung der Arbeitsgemeinschaft fand im Bereich der östlichen Ausläufer des gro- ßen Alpenbogens, im Bereich der „Wiener Hausberge" Schneealpe und Rax statt. Höchste Er- hebungen erreichen noch Höhen über 2 000 m ü.M. Dann fallen die Alpen zur Pannonischen Tiefebene mit dem Neusiedlersee (115 in ü.M.) ab. Dementsprechend bietet das Gebiet nahe bei- sammen liegende große landschaftliche Gegensätze, aber auch unterschiedlichste Pflanzen- und Tierwelt. So war es auch naheliegend, dass eine Exkursion an den Neusicdlersee führte. Insgesamt wurden während der Tagung 117 Arten beobachtet, davon 37 n u r am Neusiedlersee. Besonders bemerkenswert ist die Beobachtung von zwei Gänsegeiern Gyps fulvus auf der Rax, also weit außerhalb ihres sonstigen Verbreitungsgebietes in Österreich; weiters sind Wanderfalke Falco peregrinus als Brutvogel sowie Karmingimpel Carpodacus erxlhriniis zu nennen. Die Gesamtbeobachtungen der verschiedenen Exkursionen sind in der Tabelle zusammenfassend dargestellt. Bei der Behandlung einzelner Arten werden nur jene angeführt, die wegen ihrer Höhenlage, Häufigkeit, Brutnachweise oder aus anderen Gründen bemerkenswert erscheinen.
