  • Annual Report 2012 World Vision in Albania and Kosovo
    Annual Report 2012 World Vision in Albania and Kosovo MOBILISING CHILDREN, YOUTH AND COMMUNITIES Welcome Letter from Rein Dekker National Director of World Vision in Albania and Kosovo As the new National Director for World Vision in Albania and Kosovo, it is my privilege to present to you our story of 2012. Before joining World Vision in October last year, I worked with another agency to support war-affected children in Su- dan and South Sudan. Until then, I was deeply involved with minority communities in Southern Africa around the ques- tions of land, identity, culture and poverty. Eight years ago I made several visits to Albania and vividly remember the openness and warmth of the people. I had been interested for some time to working with World Vision. Its significant field presence in a dozen areas in Albania and Kosovo now provides me with an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and young people in vulnerable communities. Looking back over 2012, I am grateful what World Vision, in collaboration with national and local partners, has been able to achieve. Some of the highlights of the past year were: • Launching the Child Protection and Participation Learning Hub which is a region-wide initiative that enables replication of field-based success for the improved well-being of children. Also next year will launch a new learning hub focused on Gender. • Young people prepared and presented a special report on child rights to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. • Joined the National Referral Mechanism for cooperation on anti-trafficking.

Royal Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. ~ High-resolution 1986 Landsat TM images of the Adriatic coast of Albania have been compared with aerial photographs eusss___ :........a..... ~ obtained in 1943, and published literature, in order to decipher the sedimentary architecture and evolution of the WdW- __a late-Holocene deposits of the coastal plain. This coastline is microtidal and dominated by wave action; and abundant ... a:= sediment is supplied by rivers draining the uplifted mountainous interior of this tectonically active region. The coastal plain has prograded up to 40 km since relative sea level rise slowed down around 6000 years BP. The inland parts of the coastal plain are dominated by parallel storm beach ridges whilst the coastal fringe exhibits a diversity of symmetrical to asymmetrical wave-dominated deltas and spit-deltas encompassing cut-off lagoons. A genetic model to explain the variability of wave-dominated deltas on the Albanian coast is proposed showing a spectrum of forms between prograding symmetrical cuspate deltas formed by bi-directionallongshore drift and highly asymmetrical spit­ deltas formed by uni-directional longshore drift.

  • On the Flood Forecasting at the Bulgarian Part Of
    BALWOIS 2004 Ohrid, FY Republic of Macedonia, 25-29 May 2004 The Regionalisation Of Albanian Territory According To The Annual Specific Yield Bardhyl Shehu Polytechnic University of Tirana Tirana, Albania Molnar Kolaneci Hydrometeorological Institute Tirana, Albania Abstract Albanian territory is very reach in water resources. The spatial distribution of the water resources in Albanian territory is heterogeneous due to a high variability of climatic and land characteristics. The parameter chosen for the regionalisation is the specific yield. The long-term average of specific yield has a spatial variability of 10 to 100 l/s/km2 in Albanian territory. The data used include the period 1951-1990 of 80 hydrometric stations distributed in whole Albanian hydrographic network. The lower limit of catchment area (basin) of 100 km2 is accepted. As the result are established two maps. In the first one is presented the general regionalisation of water resources according to the concept of high and low water resources. The second one presents the more detailed regionalisation that includes 8classes. This is the first attempt of the regionalisation of the water resources in Albanian territory. Key words: Water resources, specific yield, regionalisation, Albania The regionalisation of Albanian territory according to the annual specific yield. Introduction Albanian territory is very reach in water resources. The spatial distribution of the water resources in Albanian territory is heterogeneous due to a high variability of climatic and land characteristics. Evaluation of water resources and their presentation in a comprehensive form is useful information for decision maker’s institutions, which are interested for a complex exploitation of water resources.
