- Abstract
The Namatala Wetland in Uganda faces severe degradation from agricultural development and urbanization. Besides the Namatala River and tributary rural streams, the wetland receives surface water from Mbale town and wastewater from two sets of wastewater stabilization ponds. The objective of this study was to examine water quality, and sediment and nutrient retention in different land use zones. Five hydrogeomorphic units (HGMUs) were distinguished on the basis of soil, hydrology and land use. HGMUs 1 and 2 in the upstream part of the wetland are characterized by drainage channels and mixed agriculture. HGMU 3 is a wet floodplain with intensive rice farming. HGMU 4 and 5 are permanently wet units in the downstream part of the wetland with moderate rice farming and partly intact papyrus (Cyperus papyrus L.) vegetation. Stream discharge was measured, and surface water samples collected, monthly from the river channel, the tributaries, and the five HGMUs from April 2015 to October 2016. Significant differences in total nitrogen (TN), phosphorus (TP) and total suspended solids (TSS) were observed among the streams and among the five HGMUs, with highest concentrations in urban streams and lowest in the main river channel and rural streams. Among the HGMUs, nutrients and TSS were highest within HGMU 3 and lowest in HGMU 1 and 5. Loads of nutrients and sediment into the wetland were greater from the main river channel compared with urban and rural streams. Regressions of net TN, TP, and TSS yields for each HGMU against river discharge showed a net loss of nutrients and sediments in HGMU 3 with the most intensive agriculture, and net retention in HGMUs 4 and 5 which mostly maintain their wetland character. This study shows that sediment and nutrient retention in the downstream part of the wetland compensate for increased export caused by agricultural and urban land use in the middle and upper zones of the wetland, thus maintaining net nutrient retention of Namatala Wetland.

For centuries, rivers have experienced massive changes of their hydromorphic structures due to human activities. The Danube River, the second largest river in Europe, is a case in point for long‐term societal imprint. Resulting human‐induced pressures are a key issue for river management, aiming to improve the ecological conditions and guarantee the provision of ecosystem services. As the most international river basin in the world, the management of the Danube is particularly challenging and needs a well‐organized cooperation of 19 nations. The recent river basin management plan has identified pollution and hydromorphological alterations as most pressing problems, but it has also acknowledged newly emerging issues. In this article, we present 3 specific examples of highly relevant issues for the future river basin management of the Danube: (a) long‐term impacts in the catchment such as changes in flood patterns and potential ecological consequences; (b) complex feedback loops linking the spread of neozoa with intertwined stressor responses due to river engineering for different purposes; and (c) linkages between different assessment approaches based on European legal frameworks to analyse the specific pressures at different spatial scales. These examples highlight the need for a more integrated approach in future Danube River Basin management schemes. Furthermore, large‐scale effects such as climate change and interactions of multiple pressures need to be addressed in future management to increase resilience of the river system and to allow a sustainable ecosystem‐based management of rivers.

Its overall objective is to enhance the role of wetlands in basin-scale Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), with the aim of improving the community service functions while conserving good ecological status. Decisions about wetland management are made in a complex and dynamic context involving a range of stakeholders with different and sometime competing objectives. The aim of the WETwin project is to provide a rigorous framework for evaluating the effects of alternative development strategies to identify best compromise management solutions that are ecologically sustainable, socially acceptable, and economically sound, taking into account values of different stakeholders. This report describes application of the WETwin decision framework to identify and assess management solutions for each case study. Chapter 1 outlines the theoretical framework used in the analysis and discusses general conclusions and lessons learnt; the remaining chapters describes application of the DSF to each case study site.

WETwin is a research project supported by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program. Its overall objective is to enhance the role of wetlands in basin-scale Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), with the aim of improving the community service functions while conserving good ecological status. This report addresses formulation of management responses to the drivers, pressures and impacts on wetlands identified in case study sites. Within the WETwin conceptual framework a range of options are identified from which management solutions can be built up. In principle, each option can be carried out alone, but in practice, combinations of several responses are likely to be combined into comprehensive management solutions. Further this document identifies performance indicators used for the evaluation of the management solutions and describes a set of models and expert assessment tools used for this purpose. An overview of generic responses available for wetland management and rehabilitation is presented. Management responses are separated into groups of similar measures targeting specific wetland components. Such a grouping gives a clearer overview of possible measures, and facilitates transfer of these generic groups to other wetlands. A brief overview of the process of identifying, elaborating and combining management options into implementable packages of management solutions is then provided. Site-specific management options and solutions are presented for seven case studies: Ga-Mampa, Inner Niger Delta, Nabajjuzi, Namatala, Abras de Mantequilla, Lobau and Gemenc wetlands.

DPSIR ,[SDE]Environmental Sciences ,EVALUATION INTEGREE - Abstract
WETwin is a research project supported by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program. Its overall objective is to enhance the role of wetlands in basin-scale Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), with the aim of improving the community service functions while conserving good ecological status. This report presents the results of the DPSIR (Drivers -Pressures-State-Impacts-Responses) conducted in the seven case study sites of the WETwin project. Its primary objective is to identify and explore the major environmental and livelihood problems at the study sites. This involves the identification of the whole cause-effect mechanism. This document also aims at reviewing potential measures (Responses) proposed by various stakeholders and researchers, for mitigating the problems. ‘Impacts’ are interpreted here as impacts on the Ecosystem Services of the wetland. Accordingly, DSIR analyses are preceded in this document by the identification of relevant Ecosystem Services.

[SDE]Environmental Sciences - Abstract
The overall objective of the WETwin project is to enhance the role of wetlands in basin-scale integrated water resources management (IWRM), with the aim of improving the community service functions while conserving good ecological status. Wetland management strategies will be identified for (i) integrating wetlands into river basin management; (ii) utilizing the drinking water supply and sanitation potentials of wetlands for the benefit of people living in the basin, while maintaining (and improving as much as possible) the ecosystem functions; (iii) adapting wetland management to changing environmental conditions; and (iv) improving stakeholder participation and capacity building with the aim of supporting sustainable wetland management. The envisaged wetland management strategies are planned to be developed with the help of a Decision Support (DS) Framework. The primary aim of this report is to provide a detailed description about this framework, and also to give guidance on how to apply it at case studies. The report consists of two main parts. In the first part the Conceptual Framework is introduced. This is followed by the detailed description of the embedded Decision Support Framework in the second part.

Implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) poses many new challenges to European water managers. Monitoring programmes play a key role to assess the status and identify possible trends in the environmental conditions of river basins; to gain new knowledge on water processes and to assess to which extent implemented measures actually have the expected effects in terms of improving the environmental status. Despite a general acknowledgement in the scientific community on the benefits of using monitoring and modelling jointly, it has not been the common practise in the European monitoring programmes so far. Several obstacles may be identified which limits the joint use of monitoring and modelling, such as lack of the required skill, lack of time, lack of confidence in models but also a lack of awareness on how models can be used in practise. In this paper we provide examples on how modelling can support the monitoring programmes to meet the objectives of the monitoring programmes in the WFD more efficiently. The extent to which the monitoring requirements in the WFD can be expected to supply sufficient data for modelling purposes is further addressed. This question is, however, not well posed, as the data requirement for modelling is highly dependent on the required accuracy of the model results. © Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2007.

BARRAGE ,AMENAGEMENT HYDROAGRICOLE ,MANUEL ,DIMENSIONNEMENT HYDROLOGIQUE - Abstract
Dans les pays semi-arides et méditerranéens, la production agricole peut être intensifiée par la création de nombreuses retenues collinaires. Une série de manuels a été réalisée en Algérie afin de permettre la construction rapide, et suivant des règles homogènes, de centaines de retenues collinaires. Il a été ainsi élaboré en particulier un manuel pour le dimensionnement hydrologique des retenues dont les principes sont exposés dans le présent article. Des abaques normalisés présentant en compte les apports moyens des bassins versants ont été préparés suivant une variante généralisée du modèle MORAN, en utilisant les chroniques d'observations des stations hydrométriques des diverses unités géographiques. Il a été construit, pour leur mise en application, des cartes des isolignes relatives aux apports annuels moyens et aux apports annuels de fréquence 80% au dépassement. (Résumé d'auteur)
