It has been used for several geographic and regional science studies because of its highly valued information con- text. From geoscientific point of view this information can also be evaluated. In this contribution an attempt is made to analyse in some extent the paleo-hydrogeography presented in the map, reconsidering the approach of previous authors, assuming that the mapmaker did not make large, intolerable errors and the known problems of the cartographic implementation are rather exceptional. According to the map the major lakes had larger extents in the 16th century than today, even a large lake (Lake Becskerek) ceased to exist. -
National Reviews 1998 Bosnia and Herzegovina Executive
DANUBE POLLUTION REDUCTION PROGRAMME NATIONAL REVIEWS 1998 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ministry of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry in cooperation with the Programme Coordination Unit UNDP/GEF Assistance DANUBE POLLUTION REDUCTION PROGRAMME NATIONAL REVIEWS 1998 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Ministry of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry in cooperation with the Programme Coordination Unit UNDP/GEF Assistance Preface The National Reviews were designed to produce basic data and information for the elaboration of the Pollution Reduction Programme (PRP), the Transboundary Analysis and the revision of the Strategic Action Plan of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR). Particular attention was also given to collect data and information for specific purposes concerning the development of the Danube Water Quality Model, the identification and evaluation of hot spots, the analysis of social and economic factors, the preparation of an investment portfolio and the development of financing mechanisms for the implementation of the ICPDR Action Plan. For the elaboration of the National Reviews, a team of national experts was recruited in each of the participating countries for a period of one to four months covering the following positions: Socio-economist with knowledge in population studies, Financial expert (preferably from the Ministry of Finance), Water Quality Data expert/information specialist, Water Engineering expert with knowledge in project development. Each of the experts had to organize his or her work under the supervision of the respective Country Programme Coordinator and with the guidance of a team of International Consultants. The tasks were laid out in specific Terms of Reference. At a Regional Workshop in Budapest from 27 to 29 January 1998, the national teams and the group of international consultants discussed in detail the methodological approach and the content of the National Reviews to assure coherence of results. -
Permanent Mission of the Republic of Croatia to the International
Permanent Mission of the Republic of Croatia EF.DEL/10/07/Corr.1 to the International Organizations in Vienna 23 January 2007 ENGLISH only Statement made by Mr. Zdravko KRMEK, State Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (Session IV of the 15th OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum, Vienna, 23 January 2007) Mr. Chairman, in the framework of our today's discussion I would like to stress the importance of a consultation between neighbouring states and at the regional level when combating soil degradation in the aim to avoid social problems linked to sustainable development. The Republic of Croatia, as probably a number of other states who have been part of former federations or composite states, has interesting experience in the field: rivers or river basins of internal nature are now of international character. This requires a number of interstate agreements on integral water management. One of the best examples for good cooperation on the regional level is without any doubt the Framework Agreement in Sava River Basin signed in 2003 by four countries of the Former Yugoslav Federation: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia with the participation of international partners including the Stability Pact and the OSCE. This initiative is today better known as Sava River Initiative and the first experience shows that this is a very good basis for further cooperation between these four countries. With the Republic of Slovenia there is also the Agreement of Integral Water Management, signed in 1997, as well as with Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1996. With the Republic of Montenegro a preparation of such an agreement is in final phase, as well as with the Republic of Serbia. -

Paleochannel Evolution of the Leitha River (Eastern Austria) – a Bird’S Eye View A
Geophysical Research Abstracts, Vol. 8, 08976, 2006 SRef-ID: 1607-7962/gra/EGU06-A-08976 © European Geosciences Union 2006 Paleochannel evolution of the Leitha river (eastern Austria) – A bird’s eye view A. Zámolyi (1), E. Draganits (2), M. Doneus (3), K. Decker (1), Martin Fera (3) (1) Department of Geodynamics and Sedimentology, Structural Processes Group, University of Vienna, Austria, *[email protected] (2) Institute for Engineering Geology, Vienna University of Technology, Austria (3) Department for Prehistory and Early History, University of Vienna, Austria The Leitha river is an important tributary to the Danube in eastern Austria. 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. -
