South & West Cumberland Fisheries Advisory Committee 27th June, 1977.

This is the report from the South and West Cumberland Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 27th June, 1977. The report contains sections on water resources development in West Cumbria which includes essential short and long term requirements for conservation of migratory fish stocks in the River Ehen. The section on fisheries activities includes salmon, sea trout and brown trout catches; restocking; fish mortalities; fisheries investigations/gravel abstractions in Rivers Annas, Calder, Esk, Newlands Beck, St. John's Beck, Trout Beck and Caldew; and general activities held in Holmwrange Hatchery. It also covers prosecutions and electrofishing carried out in Rivers Cocker, Marron, Ellen, Glenderaterra, Ehen, Calder, Irt, Esk and Annas. The Fisheries Advisory Committee was part of the Regional Water Authorities, in this case the North West Water Authority. This preceded the Environment Agency which came into existence in 1996.

South & West Cumberland Fisheries Advisory Committee 10th January, 1977.

This is the report from the South and West Cumberland Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting, which was held on the 10th January, 1977. The report contains information on water resources development in West Cumbria, Branthwaite Weir regarding the construction of a fish pass, fisheries activities, fish stocking, eel fishing on estuarial waters, and infectious Pancreatic Necrosis which highlights its prevention on imports of salmonid fish and ova. The section on fisheries activities includes general information on the River Derwent; diseases; fish mortalities; Holmwrangle hatchery and land drainage works. The Fisheries Advisory Committee was part of the Regional Water Authorities, in this case the North West Water Authority. This preceded the Environment Agency which came into existence in 1996.

Evaluation and Application of Environmental Flows in Running Waters in Slovenia

Water use invariably results in major impacts on river flows. Environmental Flows (EF) are defined as the quantity and quality of water that is needed to preserve the structure and the function of the river and riparian zone ecosystem and sufficient quantity of water to enable the survival and reproduction of aquatic organisms in different hydraulic habitats. This paper describes the criteria and methods used to determine EF and experiences with their application in Slovenia. The diversity of running waters of Slovenia demand special treatment and determination of EF for each individual section of the river system. Using hydrological, morphological and ecological criteria, two different approaches are used for the determination of EF in Slovenia, a rapid assessment method and a detailed assessment method. For both methods, data are then analyzed by an expert panel in order to determine an EF. Since 1994, more than 180 study sites have been examined for research and application of EF in Slovenia. Determination of EF for existing users has prioritized their water requirements so they can remain economically viable. Where new schemes are proposed, there has been much greater scope to prioritize ecosystem requirements. EF determination is receiving growing attention and will continue to increase in importance, driven by research that aids our understanding of flow-biota relationships and recent environmental policy and legislation at both the national and European level.

III Congreso ibérico sobre gestión y planificación del agua. La directiva marco del agua: realidades y futuros. Sevilla, del 13 al 17 de noviembre de 2002

Entre els dies 13 i 17 de novembre de 2002 va tenir lloc a la ciutat de Sevilla el III Congrés Ibèric sobre Gestió i Planificació de l’Aigua, que, en aquesta ocasió, portava per títol «La Directiva Marc de l’Aigua: realitats i futurs». El congrés fou organitzat per la Fundación Nueva Cultura del Agua, amb la col•laboració de la Universidad de Sevilla i d’una àmplia sèrie d’institucions relacionades amb la investigació o gestió d’aquest recurs. Considerant l’anàlisi i la diagnosi de la situació actual contingudes a les edicions anteriors (Saragossa 1998 i Porto 2000) i l’ampli debat dels últims anys, el III Congrés Ibèric es caracteritza per un plantejament d’avenç i propostes i per incloure alguns dels aspectes de la política de l’aigua menys atesos fins aleshores

L’Economia de l’aigua

El nostre és un país escàs d’aigua. Proposar noves fórmules d’estalvi és de gran importància, sobretot en agricultura, perquè consumeix el setanta per cent de l’aigua disponible per al consum humà
