| El agua en navarra | La política del agua está viviendo un profundo proceso de renovación en Europa. Esta política se fundamenta en los principios de la Directiva Marco del Agua, que obliga a una nueva planificación hidrológica. Los ejes de esta planificación pretenden favorecer el buen estado de las aguas al tiempo que garantizan su disponibilidad y su uso sostenible. Navarra está adaptando sus políticas al nuevo modelo europeo de gestión y administración del agua. Avanzar hacia una gestión más sostenible del agua requiere el compromiso y la corresponsabilidad de los diferentes agentes institucionales y sociales. | Fluvial and ecosystem restoration of the Arga-Aragon Rivers, Spain |

| Project Nieuwsbrief - Vallei van de Grote Nete | Eén van de hoekstenen van het hedendaagse waterbeleid is het principe ‘vasthouden-bergen-afvoeren’ zoals ook blijkt uit het bekkenbeheerplan. Door water maximaal vast te houden aan de bron of ter plaatse te laten infiltreren, wordt wateroverlast niet langer afgewenteld op stroomafwaarts gelegen gebieden. Diezelfdestrategie moet ook voor een oplossing zorgen in de strijd tegen verdroging die in het licht van een mogelijke klimaatsverandering wel eens belangrijk zou kunnen worden. | Floodplain reconnection in the Vallei van de Grote Nete, Belgium |

| Effect of land development and forest management on hydrologic response in southeastern coastal wetlands: a review | Land development activities such as agriculture, clear cutting, peat mining, and the planting of forest plantations on wetlands can affect the hydrologic behavior of these ecosystems by affecting their water storage and release patterns on the landscape. The effects of these development activities on hydrologic fluxes in peatlands (Typic Medisaprists) were compared to the effects of forest management practices in North Carolina using a field-tested hydrologic simulation model (DRAINMOD). Simulations revealed that natural peat-based (Histosol) pocosin systems lose 66% (80 cm) of the 123 cm of average annual rainfall by evapo-transpiration (ET) and 34% (42 cm/yr) via annual runoff. Annual runoff values were 63 cm/yr for peat mining areas, 48 cm/yr for cleared peatlands, 46 cm/yr for peatlands converted to agriculture and 34 cm/yr for pine plantations, once the forest canopy is closed. Thus, these wetland alterations, except for forestry, significantly increased runoff and decreased ET compared to the natural ecosystem. Forest pine plantation management decreased runoff and increased ET. A case study of the effects of forest management practices was reviewed for a 15-year-old drained loblolly pine plantation growing on fine sandy loam soils (Thermic Typic umbraquults) in the coastal plains of North Carolina. Forestry activities such as thinning (i.e., reduced leaf area index by 50%) decreased ET and canopy interception and nearly doubled drainage loss (38 cm/yr to 60 cm/yr). Commonly applied forest practices, such as drainage, increased the average number of flow events with flows > 5 mm/day to 86 days per year from 26 days per year under natural conditions. | Fluvial and ecosystem restoration of the Arga-Aragon Rivers, Spain |

| Foro del Agua de Navarra. Documento Técnico para la Participacion Publica en la Cuenca del Arga. Documentacion previa para su análisis. Pamplona, marzo 2007 | El objetivo de este documento es servir como base para la participación pública en torno a la gestión del agua y de sus principales problemas en la cuenca del Arga. De esta forma, se promueve el proceso de participación exigido por la Directiva Marco del Agua (2000/60) para la elaboración del Plan Hidrológico de la cuenca del Ebro, que tiene que ser aprobado en diciembre de 2009. Este plan va a suponer la revisión del plan hidrológico que se aprobó en 1998 y además, la incorporación de los requerimientos establecidos por la DMA. Por otro lado, la “estrategia para la gestióny el uso sostenible del agua en Navarra” también promueve estos procesos de participación pública, fundamentales para que el público en general y los afectados más directamente por el tema puedan participar en el proceso de la toma de decisiones. | Fluvial and ecosystem restoration of the Arga-Aragon Rivers, Spain |

| Changes in the functioning of wetlands along environmental gradients | One of the prevalent gradients in wetlands is the continuum of depth and frequency of flooding. While much emphasis has been placed on the importance of hydrology as a driving force for wetlands, few other perspectives have emerged to demonstrate unifying patterns and principles. In contrast to the wetness continuum, the functioning of wetlands can be separated into two broad categories: (1) landscape-based transitions that occur within a wetland or group of similar wetland types and (2) resource-based transitions that allow comparisons of the flow of water and processing of nutrients among very different wetland types. Landscape-based continua include the transition from upstream to downstream in riverine wetlands and between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems within a wetland. | Fluvial and ecosystem restoration of the Arga-Aragon Rivers, Spain |
