On 4th August 2005 it became legally binding for the 16 ratifying countries. It is the first major international legal approach for prevention, control and reduction of water-related diseases in Europe. Please read more about it in our first contribution of the WaMRi-Newsletter. This issue also deals with the project Swist III , focussed on River Swist in North Rhine- Westphalia as an example for microbial load of watercourses due to diffuse polluters. The report from the Aral Sea Basin Water and Food Conference summarizes its main findings entitled as “ Managing Water and Food Quality in Central Asia ” which took place in Almaty, Kazakhstan, on 1-2 September 2005.

Wir wollen deshalb die Gewässer- ökologie in Nordrhein-Westfalen verbessern und orientieren uns dabei an den europäisch vereinbarten Qualitätszielen. Wir möchten den Zustand der nordrhein-westfälischen Gewässer verbessern im Interesse der Artenvielfalt, des Hochwasserschutzes und der regionalen Entwicklung. Dieses ambitionierte Ziel können wir nur in Kooperation mit den Kommunen, den Wasserverbänden, der Land- und Forstwirtschaft, der Industrie, den Naturschutzverbänden und natürlich nur gemeinsam mit den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern erreichen. Wir werden jetzt überall im Land mit zahlreichen Maßnah- men beginnen und voraussichtlich bis 2027 die Ziele errei- chen.

Each preprocessing step is a heuristic to increase the likelihood of semantic matches while minimizing spurious matches. A secondary goal of preprocessing is to create supplemental index terms to improve retrieval performance, e.g., for documents that do not posses many of their own.

Tertiäre Vulkanite im Siebengebirge am Rhein Das Siebengebirge liegt topographisch betrachtet rechtsrheinisch südöstlich von Bonn, östlich Königswinter, südlich Siegburg und nördlich Bad Honnef. Es bildet eine auffällige Berglandschaft mit dem Ölberg als höchstem Gipfel, etwa 460 m NN, im Kontrast zum sich hier nach Norden weitenden Rheintal am Übergang von Mittel- zu Niederrhein, mit Höhen der Aue bei etwa 60 m NN, und zu den Hochflächen des linksrheinischen Drachenfelser Ländchens zwischen 180 und 260 m NN, erst im Ahrtal finden sich ähnliche Höhenunterschiede zwischen Talboden um 80 und Hochflächen um 500 m NN. Die von steilen Abhängen umgebenen Gipfel des Siebengebirges, sowohl die sieben Hauptberge als auch zahlreiche weitere etwas weniger markante Erhebungen, waren zum Teil von Burgen bestanden, so etwa Drachenfels, Wolkenburg, Löwenburg, sowie Rosenau, teilweise sind es befestigte kirchliche Anlagen gewesen wie am Petersberg. Die Architektur und Geschichte der Burgen bzw. deren Ruinen im Siebengebirge, Drachenfelser Ländchen und Ahrtal ist beschrieben u.a. bei (OTTENDORF-SIMROCK & MEHS o.a.), (LOSSE 2008). Zum Petersberg gibt es eine archäologische Beschreibung bei http://www.virtuellesbrueckenhofmuseum.de/ vmuseum/ historie_data/dokument/img071.pdf.

  • Combining Ecohydrological Catchment Modelling and Water Quality Monitoring to Assess Surface Water Pollution in the Swist River Basin

Combining Ecohydrological Catchment Modelling and Water Quality Monitoring to Assess Surface Water Pollution in the Swist River Basin Alexander Ahring1,3, Marvin Kothe1, Christian Gattke1, Ekkehard Christoffels2, and Bernd Diekkrüger3 1Erftverband, River Basin Management, Germany ([email protected]) 2IBC Ingenieurtechnische Beratung Christoffels, Vettweiß, Germany 3Department of Geography, University of Bonn, Germany Inland surface waters like rivers, streams, lakes and reservoirs are subject to anthropogenic pollutant emissions from various sources. These emissions can have severe negative impacts on surface water ecology, as well as human health when surface waters are used for recreational activities, irrigation of cropland or drinking water production. In order to protect aquatic ecosystems and freshwater resources, the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) sets specific quality requirements which the EU member states must meet until 2027 for every water body. Implementing effective measures and emission control strategies requires knowledge about the important emission pathways in a given river basin. However, due to the abundance of pollution sources and the heterogeneity of emission pathways in time and space, it is not feasible to gain this knowledge via water quality monitoring alone. In our study, we aim to combine SWAT ecohydrological modelling and long term water quality monitoring data to establish a spatially differentiated nitrogen emission inventory on the sub-catchment scale. SWAT (short for Soil and Water Assessment Tool) is a semi-distributed, dynamic and process-driven watershed model capable of simulating long term hydrology as well as nutrient fluxes on a daily time step.
