  • Hydropolitics and Issue-Linkage Along the Orontes River Basin:… 105 Realised in the Context of the Political Rapprochement in the 2000S, Has Also Ended (Daoudy 2013)
    Int Environ Agreements (2020) 20:103–121 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10784-019-09462-7 ORIGINAL PAPER Hydropolitics and issue‑linkage along the Orontes River Basin: an analysis of the Lebanon–Syria and Syria–Turkey hydropolitical relations Ahmet Conker1 · Hussam Hussein2,3 Published online: 13 December 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract The Orontes River Basin is among the least researched transboundary water basins in the Middle East. The few studies on the Orontes have two main theoretical and empirical shortcomings. First, there is a lack of critical hydropolitics studies on this river. Second, those studies focus on either the Turkish–Syrian or Lebanese–Syria relations rather than analysing the case in a holistic way. Gathering both primary (international agreements, government documents, political statements and media outlets) and secondary sources, this paper seeks to answer how could Syria, as the basin hydro-hegemon, impose its control on the basin? This study argues that the lack of trilateral initiatives, which is also refected in academic studies, is primarily due to asymmetrical power dynamics. Accordingly, Syria played a dual-game by excluding each riparian, Turkey and Lebanon, and it dealt with the issue at the bilateral interaction. Syria has used its political infuence to maintain water control vis-à-vis Lebanon, while it has used non-cooperation with Turkey to exclude Tur- key from decision-making processes. The paper also argues that the historical background and the political context have strongly informed Syria’s water policy. Finally, given the recent regional political developments, the paper fnds that Syria’s power grip on the Orontes Basin slowly fades away because of the changes in the broader political context.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Gobio sakaryaensis, a new species from the Tozman and the Porsuk streams of the Sakarya River drainage (northwestern Anatolia, Black Sea basin), is described. The species is distinguished from other gudgeons by a combination of the fol- lowing characters: breast completely scaled, scales approximately extending to isthmus; head length 27.2–30.0 % SL; 39– 42 lateral line scales; 4–6 scales between anus and anal-fin origin; 6–8 scales between posterior extremity of pelvic-fin bases and anus. A key is provided for Gobio and Romanogobio species recorded from Turkey. Key words: Gobio sakaryaensis, gudgeon, Anatolia, taxonomy Introduction The genus Gobio has a wide distribution throughout Europe and northern Asia. Over the last decade there have been many attempts to clarify the taxonomy of this genus; several new species have been described and some for- mer subspecies are now recognized as distinct species (Vasil’eva et al.

By definition “A dissertation of Şimşek (2011). river is a natural, flowing stream of water that provides an avenue for drainage of water from higher elevations to a standing body of water at lower elevations, which is typically a lake or ocean.” (Lerner and Lerner, 2009). Stream, on the other hand, is a general term for a body of flowing water, a natural water course containing water at least part of the year (Kemp, 2009, 714). Stream involves a body of water flowing in a channel or watercourse, whether it is as small as a brook or as large as a river (Stream, 2011). The word stream has many different meanings as well, and has a larger context involving several types of flowing waters. Another concept that may be used in place of rivers or streams is waterway. A waterway is defined “as a body of water that is navigable by boat” (Lerner and Lerner, 2009, 714). A “waterway can be a river, but this concept also includes lakes, oceans, and human-made canals” (Lerner and Lerner, 2009, 714).

Acta Aquatica Turcica, 16(4), 545-557. https://doi.org/10.22392/actaquatr.742217 Abstract The introduction of invasive fish species is considered to be one of the major causes of species endangerment in aquatic ecosystems. More than 30 non-native freshwater fish species which are introduced for the different purpose were reported in Turkey. In addition to the freshwater non-native fish species, the brackish water systems are also affected by the fish species that enter the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal. This study aimed to identify non-native fish species introduced in the Mediterranean brackish water systems of Turkey. Thirteen non-native species from eleven families were identified from 15 localities along the entire Mediterranean Coast of Turkey between 2014-2017. These species are Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782), Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846), Coptodon zillii (Gervais, 1848), Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758), Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792), Chelon carinatus (Valenciennes 1836), Equulites klunzingeri (Steindachner, 1898), Upeneus moluccensis (Bleeker, 1855), Upeneus pori Ben-Tuvia & Golani, 1989, Siganus rivulatus Forsskål & Niebuhr, 1775, Sillago suezensis Golani, Fricke & Tikochinski, 2013 and Sphyraena chrysotaenia Klunzinger, 1884.

E-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author Received 1 June 2015 │ Accepted 17 June 2015 │ Published online 20 June 2015. Abstract In the present study, conducted between 2001 and 2003, four taxa of aquatic gastropoda were identified from the Balıkdamı Wetland. All the species determined are new records for the study area, while one species Theodoxus gloeri sp. nov. is new to science. Neritidae is a representative family of an ancient group Archaeogastropoda, among Gastropoda. Theodoxus is a freshwater genus in the Neritidae, known for a dextral, rapidly grown shell ended with a large last whorl and a lunate calcareous operculum. Distribution of this genus includes Europe, also extending from North Africa to South Iran. In Turkey, 14 modern and fossil species and subspecies were mentioned so far. In this study, we aimed to uncover the gastropoda fauna of an important Wetland and describe a subterranean Theodoxus species, new to science. Key words: Gastropoda, Theodoxus gloeri sp. nov., Sakarya River, Balıkdamı Wetland Turkey.

    ANNEX I | 403 ANNEXES 404 | SECOND ASSESMENT ANNEX I BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORKS IN COUNTRIES COVERED BY THE SECOND ASSESSMENT Afghanistan The Supreme Council for Water Management/Water High Council covers water legislation and policy development, and has a coordinating role in water management between various ministries. It is supported by a Technical Secretariat. Afghanistan foresees the establishment of river basin and sub-basin agencies, as well as basin and sub-basin councils involving all stakeholders. Other relevant structures include the River Basin Advisory Board and the Sub Basin Coordination group. Albania The National Water Council is the main inter-institutional body in charge of determining water policy and major water-related deci- sions. The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Water Administration has overall responsibility for water administration. River Basin Councils have been established as local authorities responsible for managing water resources by the National Water Council in each of the six river basins. A Water Agency (part of the Environment Ministry structure) in each basin is the executive unit of the respective Council. Several inspectorates are in charge of law enforcement. According to the National Strategy for Environment Protection (2007), the legal and regulatory framework in Albania is to be elaborated according to EU legislation. Several legal acts are foreseen to transpose the EU WFD, including a revised Law on Water Resources; the process is expected to be completed by 2014. Armenia The National Water Council acts as a high-level advisory body for the National Water Programme. The Dispute Resolution Commission under the Council mediates disputes related to water use permits.

Is it an amplifier of conflict or a means for cooperation, a source of growth or a force of destruction? The purpose of this report is to determine how threats of water shortage and the lack of a trans-boundary management plan has prompted states in the Euphrates-Tigris River Basin to leverage the shared resource as a political weapon to preserve national interests and ascertain regional authority.
