Although the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry has committed itself to public participation with regard to water quality management in South Africa, no formal structure exists as yet within which this can take place. The Jukskei River Water Quality Steering Committee, which consists of representatives of various government departments, the Provincial Government, local authorities as well as non-government organisations and community-based organisations, therefore functions without a legal framework and without funds of its own. Nonetheless, the committee has been highly successful in co-ordinating various actions such as an in-depth study of the catchment and various public awareness campaigns. The latter were specifically aimed at changing the value systems of the community in the Jukskei River Catchment, as this was found to be one of the major stumbling blocks in addressing the various water quality problems in the catchment.

Full textAbstract:
Integrated water resources management is advancing in Brazil as decentralized and participatory governance gains more prominence. However, local actions need to be better understood since several public policies are effectively implemented at this level. The present article aims to present the current debate about the local dimension in water resources governance. The paper analyzes empirical cases of water resources management in semi-arid Brazil, based on the performance of inter-municipal consortia and São Francisco’s River Basin Committee. Research shows that municipalities do not ignore the need to adopt new management models in response to their known financial and technical limitations. Cases of inter-municipal consortia and river basin committees have proven to be opportunities for greater visibility and action of local participants. Inter-municipal consortia assist in sanitation management, because they increase the access of municipalities to the services provided. On the other hand, dynamics of the river basin committee expanded the possibilities of participation of local actors, allowing the debate and shared decision-making. Nevertheless, identifying factors and strategies for the successful organization of local participation and cooperation in these new governance arrangements is needed.

The Brazilian Water Resources Policy (Law 9433/1997) establishes participatory and decentralized management, involving civil society, water users and governmental bodies, with the basin committees as the basis of this process. Fifteen years after its implementation, it is possible to perceive accomplishments, but, at the same time, there are some difficulties in regards to the operation of the basin committees in the country. Considering the North Paraíba River Basin – which is completely included in the State of Paraíba, Northeastern Brazil, and presents great social and economic importance for the state – this article analyzes the process of formation, installation and functioning of its Basin Committee (CBH-PB), focusing on its composition, the reasons for the mobilization and demobilization of its members, the intra-relations between segments, and the inter-relations between the CBH-PB and other entities of the State Water Management System (the Water Executive Agency and the State Water Resources Council). The level of decentralization and the quality of participatory management (as it is being performed at the CBH-PB) are discussed and guidelines are suggested in order to allow greater effectiveness to the committee.

The sedimentation, turbid water and water quality are typical environmental issues for dams and reservoirs which have impact on the reservoir and downstream of dams. These impacts are influenced from the upstream of a dam, and influence to the downstream. Therefore, a more integrated environmental management approach and consideration have been required for the whole river system. The Tenryu River in Japan flows through the erodible area near the Median Tectonic Line on Honshu, the main island of Japan, and continuously carries a lot of sediment during floods. The “Tenryu River Natural Resources Rebirth Promotion Committee” was established in 2012. The purpose of the committee is to restore fish resources and improve the river environment. The feature of the liaison committee is that it is composed of the Tenryu River fisheries association, academic experts, and dam owner and exchanges knowledge and technology information in spite of each interest. The current activities are related to the theme of “attached algae/environmental DNA survey”, “turbid water measures in reservoir/spawning bed construction technique at downstream,” and “information dissemination”. In this paper, the activities of the comprehensive reservoir and river environment conservation system in collaboration with river stakeholders are introduced and described, including future prospects.

Full textAbstract:
The Hunting Fishing and Trapping Co-ordinating Committee (HFTCC), created at the signature of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement has been meeting regularly since 1977. Early in the process, it became clear that the perception of the role and powers of the Committee were not commonly shared by the native and non-native members of the Committee. Nevertheless, the Committee has been used primarily as a consultative body for wildlife related issues. Of all the files on which the Committee worked, Caribou management, (including the development of outfitting and commercial hunting for this species) has been among one of the most discussed subjects during the meetings. An analysis of important decisions taken and of the process that led to them reveal that very rarely was the Committee able to formulate unanimous resolutions to the Governments concerning caribou management. In fact, only a few unanimous resolutions could be traced and many were ignored. This took place during a period of abundance and growth of the caribou herds. As a result, the Committee has gone through the cycle of growth of the George River Herd without a management plan, without a long term outfitting management plan and for the last 8 years, without a population estimate of the herds. This situation did not prevent the Committee from allocating quotas for a commercial hunt, open a winter sport hunt and to give permanent status to outfitting camps that were once established as mobile camps. It was hoped then that increased harvest would help maintain the population at carrying capacity. This short-term reaction however, never evolved into a more elaborate plan. Of course this must be looked at in the context of the HFTCC having a lot more to worry about than the Caribou. Although all members know of the population cycles of caribou, the decision process that must be triggered, should a crisis occur is not in place. This presently results into a polarization of concerned users (fall outfitters vs. winter outfitters, subsistence and sport hunters vs. commercial hunt, Outfitters Associations vs. HFTCC and eventually George River Herd users vs. Leaf River Herd users. The HFTCC may have to make difficult decisions during the coming years but did not gain much constructive experience through its first 25 years of existence. It is unfortunate that the authority of the Committee is binding the governments only in times of crisis when an upper limit of kill needs to be established. Because of the unpredictability of caribou herd numbers, the upper limit of kill should be established on a yearly basis. This would insure that the committee is fed information continuously in order to make informed decisions and would also re-establish the authority of the HFTCC over this resource.

This paper describes the success of an ad hoc citizen group in developing an integrated water resource plan for the Santa Fe River in the high desert of New Mexico. Much of the time the Santa Fe River, which runs through the centre of town, is dry because of impoundments for water supply. Water management responsibilities in the area are divided between eight government agencies. Each agency has its own narrowly perceived agenda for managing that aspect for which it is responsible. It was apparent that a holistic approach to water management was sorely needed. An ad hoc citizen committee was formed without government support (either technical or financial), to attempt to bring some rational planning to the use of existing water resources in the growing community.

Full textAbstract:
Parallel to the growing demand for multiple uses of water, conflicts between its users appear, contributing to the increase in the number of cases submitted to the Judiciary. This study aimed at analyzing the existence of mediation as a method of resolving possible conflicts related to water resources in the Sergipe River Basin. The qualitative approach research was developed based on a bibliographic survey, by means of consultations with books, pertinent legislation, articles in scientific and non-scientific journals and, documental, through the analysis of the minutes of the meetings of the Sergipe River Basin Committee, its Internal Regulations and the Climatological Report that analyses the rainfall variability by regions in Sergipe, from 2000 to 2017. The results revealed that despite moving towards recognizing mediation as a method for resolving conflicts, the Committee faced several difficulties in carrying out decentralized management of water resources, especially with regard to the resolution of water disputes. Possible solutions to some of the problems faced by the Committee can be pointed out, such as training its members in water resource management and conflict management, in addition to making them aware of participating frequently in Committee meetings and also stimulating the participation of the population in these meetings.

Full textAbstract:
For a long time, people in several sub-districts of Ogan Ilir Regency who live on the banks of the river have used flooded areas or puddles of water around the river due to river overflow to become one of the sources of PAD in the field of fisheries. Utilization is carried out by conducting auctions in lebak, lebung and rivers which are regulated in the Regent's Regulation on the management of fishery resources. In addition to being the legal basis, this regional regulation also aims to protect the environment in the Lebak, Lebung and river areas from damage caused by fishing by the Manager (the winner of the auction). Managers who do not carry out the management of lebak, lebung and rivers according to the rules may be subject to criminal sanctions or fines. This study aims to find out how the dispute resolution of the lebak lebung auction between the parties in practice is carried out. The problem in this study is how the forms of dispute resolution in the Lebak Lebung auction are carried out by the parties in practice. This type of research is normative legal research using a statutory approach. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the settlement of disputes between the management committee and the management of lebak lebung and rivers is in practice mostly resolved by deliberation mediated by the village head or local village head, but if no agreement is found then the settlement is through the courts.

Ever since the laborious consultation process to set the National Greenhouse Response Strategy (1991-1992), stakeholder 'consultation' has been something Australian governments do. Or attempt to do. A recent trend in NSW in particular has been to expand the concept and practice of consultation to multi-party, collaborative decision-making, also referred to as participatory democracy. One such initiative officially begun in August 1997 is the River Management Committee (RMC) exercise. For this tremendous outlay of financial and human resources, the government is taking a punt that the committee will deliver better decisions, and more timely actions, on river flows and water quality in each of the major regulated river valleys in the state. The set up and first year of operation of the RMC exercise is the subject of this thesis. Specifically it examines the design of the process and its appropriateness to the task at hand; the reality of consensus decision-making amongst people with opposing views; the democratic ideal of participants learning to be 'other directed' in terms of putting aside their own positions to work for the common good; and affordability of such exercises from both the government and non-government participants' points of view. The themes emerging from this thesis have become the focus for further research.Master of Science (Hons)

This paper addresses the communicative relationships between those who make up the Committee of Sub-Basin Salgado, in the region of Cariri, Ceara, in light of both language and information sharing, considering the relationship between the members of the collegiate and the government as well as the status of representation within this group and the community. Open interviews and questionnaires were applied to 50% of the members of the Salgado Basin Comittee, who claim to have no problems with the understanding of scientific language, but consider that the information is retained and not shared. The segment represented by the government appears to be the less representative collegiate and demonstrates interest in having a more effective participation in the âlifeâ of the basin. Once the results were analyzed, recommendations were made to ensure the democratization of knowledge and information, respecting the different levels of education and widening the dialogue with the society. After analysing the results, it is concluded that the access to knowledge and information were mechanisms of empowerment, as well as support for the progress of the group. Nevertheless the college has not yet reached a level where sharing takes place completely through the dialogic communication that is described by the authors of the Communication and Education sciences. For this to happen, some recommendations were made, such as offering open courses to the counselors and to the community using new methods of communication that facilitate the understanding of technical content like graphical computer animation. It was also suggested the production of a radio magazine in order to disseminate, in popular language, scientific concepts in the area of water resources, what would ensure the debate and broaden the dialogue with society.Este trabalho trata das relaÃÃes comunicativas no Ãmbito do Comità da Sub-Bacia HidrogrÃfica do Salgado-CE, no Cariri, buscando avaliar a comunicaÃÃo como estratÃgia de mobilizaÃÃo do colegiado e suas prÃticas entre os segmentos; os membros e seus representados; o colegiado e o Poder PÃblico; e o colegiado e a comunidade. Observou-se o processo comunicativo sob o ponto de vista da linguagem, da partilha de informaÃÃes, do relacionamento institucional e da construÃÃo de vÃnculos com a sociedade. Foram realizadas entrevistas abertas e aplicados questionÃrios a 50% dos membros do CSBH do Salgado, os quais afirmam nÃo ter problemas com a compreensÃo da linguagem cientÃfica, mas entendem que a informaÃÃo nÃo à partilhada completamente. O segmento do Poder PÃblico aparece como o que tem menor representatividade, e o colegiado demonstra interesse na busca de uma participaÃÃo mais efetiva na vida da bacia hidrogrÃfica. Feita a anÃlise dos resultados, conclui-se que o acesso ao conhecimento e à informaÃÃo foram mecanismos de empoderamento, bem como suportes, para os avanÃos do grupo, porÃm o colegiado ainda nÃo atingiu um nÃvel no qual a partilha se realize completamente atravÃs da comunicaÃÃo dialÃgica descrita pelos autores das ciÃncias da ComunicaÃÃo e da EducaÃÃo. Para que tal aconteÃa, foram colocadas recomendaÃÃes, como a oferta de cursos abertos aos conselheiros e à comunidade, utilizando-se de novas metodologias de comunicaÃÃo, que facilitem a compreensÃo do conteÃdo tÃcnico, tal como a animaÃÃo grÃfica por computaÃÃo, e permitindo o acesso semipresencial e/ou à distÃncia. Foi sugerida, ainda, a produÃÃo de uma revista radiofÃnica para difusÃo, em linguagem acessÃvel, de conceitos cientÃficos na Ãrea de recursos hÃdricos, com a intenÃÃo de abrir um debate sobre o assunto e ampliar o diÃlogo com a sociedade.

O Comitê da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio São Francisco (CBHSF), criado por Decreto Presidencial em 2001, objetiva concretizar a gestão descentralizada e participativa das águas do Rio São Francisco. O Rio escoa superficialmente por 2.700 km entre a nascente, na Serra da Canastra (MG), à foz, em meio aos estados Sergipe (SE) e Alagoas (AL). O Rio compreende ainda os estados da Bahia (BA), Pernambuco (PE), parte de Goiás (GO) e do Distrito Federal (DF). Assim sendo, este estudo objetiva analisar a gestão hídrica na bacia hidrográfica do Rio São Francisco a partir do CBHSF e o papel do comitê perante à transposição do Rio São Francisco para as bacias hidrográficas do Nordeste Setentrional. Por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa é dividida em pesquisa teórica, embasada em autores que estudam a temática da água e a sua transformação em recurso, as nuances do coronelismo das águas no Nordeste Semiárido no contexto da transposição; a dinâmica natural e a política na bacia hidrográfica – ecossistema aberto e espaço institucional; além do papel dos comitês de bacias no processo de descentralização na gestão hídrica brasileira, especificando o Rio São Francisco, seu comitê interestadual e os comitês estaduais. As pesquisas documentais são contempladas na Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos, Lei Federal N.º 9.433/1997; nos acervos documentais do CBHSF, além de órgãos que participam do projeto de transposição, como a Agência Nacional de Águas (ANA), o Ministério da Integração Nacional e o Ministério do Meio Ambiente (MMA). Tais pesquisas objetivam entender como se configura a gestão das águas do Rio São Francisco, a atuação do CBHSF e dos demais comitês da bacia frente ao projeto e obras da transposição, a partir do papel deliberativo exposto pela legislação hídrica. Demais dados foram obtidos com a utilização, como técnica de pesquisa, de roteiro de entrevista estruturado à Diretoria Executiva do CBHSF e dos comitês estaduais, e aos servidores da ANA que atuam no apoio à gestão das águas do Rio São Francisco, bem como com a participação na XXVIII Plenária Ordinária do Comitê. Pôde-se evidenciar, portanto, que o projeto de transposição do Rio São Francisco foi aprovado, contrariando o posicionamento do CBHSF e apesar do comitê ter judicializado a questão, não há na legislação hídrica brasileira uma jurisprudência para conflitos pelo uso da água entre diferentes bacias hidrográficas (bacia doadora e receptoras). Assim, as grandes obras hídricas, como é o caso da transposição, trazem à tona os limites de atuação dos comitês de bacias e reforçam o fortalecimento do agrohidronegócio no Semiárido nordestino, fortalecido por políticas públicas para os recursos hídricos, conforme propô-se na hipótese de estudo.
The River Basin Committee San Francisco was created by Presidential Decree in 2001, aims to achieve a decentralized and participatory of the São Francisco River waters. The river flows superficially 2,700 km between the source in Serra da Canastra (Minas Gerais), the mouth, among the states Sergipe (SE) and Alagoas (AL). Rio also includes the states of Bahia (BA), Pernambuco (PE), part of Goiás (GO) and the Federal District (FD). Therefore, this study aims to analyze water management in the basin of the Rio San Francisco from CBHSF and the role of the committee before the transposition of the São Francisco River for the river basins of northern Northeast. This question is problematic as the functional power of the committee, contrary to the project, whose budget was approved by the Federal Government and the works were initiated. Therefore, this study aims to analyze water management in the basin of the São Francisco River from its committee in order to understand how the approval of the project and the works of transposition countered the committee's activities. Through a qualitative approach, the research is divided into theoretical research, based on authors who study the theme of water and its transformation into a resource, the historical coronelismo of the water in the Northeast semi-arid region in the context of implementation; the natural dynamics and politics in the basin - open ecosystem and institutional space; beyond the role of the basin committees in the decentralization process in Brazilian water management, specifying the São Francisco River, its interstate committee and state committees. The documentary research are addressed in the National Water Resources Policy, Law No. 9.433/1997; the documentary collections of the committee, and bodies participating in the implementation of the project, such as the National Water Agency the Ministry of National Integration and the Ministry of Environment. These studies aim to understand how to configure the management of the São Francisco waters, the performance of San Francisco committee and other committees in the bowl against the design and construction of the transposition from the deliberative role exposed by water legislation. Other data were obtained with the use as a research technique, interview structured report to the Executive Board of San Francisco committee and state committees, and servers ANA operating in support for water management of the São Francisco River, as well as the participation in the XXVIII Ordinary Session of the Committee. It was possible to show, therefore, that the transposition project of the São Francisco River was approved, contrary to the position of CBHSF and despite the committee have judicialized the question, it is in the Brazilian water law jurisprudence to conflict over water use between different basins river (donor and recipient basin). Thus, large water works, as is the case of transposition, bring out the limits of action of the basin committees and reinforce the strengthening of agrohidronegócio in the northeastern semi-arid strengthened by public policies for water resources, as propose the hypothesis study.

O modelo atual de gestão dos recursos hídricos no Brasil é descentralizado, participativo e integrado, e tem como unidade de planejamento a bacia hidrográfica. Baseia-se na atuação de comitês de bacia, sendo que cada comitê possui composição e regras de funcionamento próprias, regidas por seu estatuto. Os princípios básicos desta gestão foram ditados pela Constituição Brasileira de 1988 e detalhados pela Política Nacional de Recursos Hídricos, instituída por meio da Lei Federal nº 9433/97. Porém, já em 1991, São Paulo promulgou sua Política Estadual de Recursos Hídricos, através da Lei Estadual nº 7663/91, que também prevê a implementação de instrumentos de gestão. Atualmente, decorridos quase 20 anos da promulgação da lei estadual, críticas são feitas a este modelo de gestão. Esta pesquisa analisou o processo de participação nos comitês de bacia do Estado de São Paulo por meio de um estudo de caso no Comitê da Bacia Hidrográfica do Tietê Jacaré, adotando como metodologia a aplicação de questionários aos seus membros da gestão 2009 - 2011. Os resultados encontrados, além de apontar para a necessidade de revisão do estatuto deste comitê, evidenciaram as distorções causadas pelas divergências entre a legislação estadual e a federal, principalmente quanto aos segmentos participantes e atores envolvidos. Mostraram também a necessidade de uma maior divulgação das questões de recursos hídricos nesta bacia e no Estado de São Paulo, como um todoThe current model of water resources management in Brazil is decentralized, participative and integrated, and adopted the river basin as a planning unit. Its based on the performance of basin committees; each Committee has its own composition and rules of procedure, governed by its statute. The basic principles of this management have been established by the Brazilian Constitution of 1988 and detailed by the National Water Resources Policy, established by Federal Law nº. 9433/97. However, already in 1991, São Paulo State promulgated its Water Resources Policy, through State Law nº. 7663/91, which also provides for the implementation of management instruments. Nowadays, after almost 20 years of the enactment of State law, comments about this water resources management model have been made. This research examined the participatory process in basin committees of the São Paulo State through a case study in the Tiete - Jacare Basin Committee, based on the application of questionnaires to the Committees members. The interviews results have pointed that the Committees statute need to be reviewed, and showed the differences between the Federal and the State legislations, mainly regarding the participating sectors and representatives involved. They also showed that a greater disclosure of water resource issues in this basin and in the State of São Paulo, as a whole, is necessary

This dissertation addresses the forms of acting of local government in water governance, presenting the case of the Basin Committee Tietê-Jacaré, located in the central region of São Paulo State. The river basin committees are decentralized bodies that aim to discuss and decide the ways in which water resources should be managed at the local level. The new form of governance of water includes several local stakeholders involved in its use, as sectors of civil society and municipalities in the region of the basin. Through a sociological perspective, the main objective is to understand the dynamics of representation and participation of stakeholders within the Basin Committee, focusing on municipal governments. The Committee is understood here as an expression of social space where different agents are present with different social positions and try to impose their world view for all who are present. Therefore, it is important to consider the construction of hierarchies and relations of interdependence involving the main groups active in this space.

Os comitês de bacias hidrográficas são instâncias descentralizadas que têm objetivo de discutir e decidir as formas como os recursos hídricos devem ser geridos em escala local. A nova forma de governança das águas compreende diversos agentes locais envolvidos no seu uso, como setores da sociedade civil e das prefeituras da região da bacia. Através de uma perspectiva sociológica, o objetivo central é compreender a dinâmica da representação e da participação dos agentes dentro do Comitê de Bacia, enfocando os poderes públicos municipais. O Comitê é entendido aqui como expressão do espaço social onde estão presentes diferentes agentes com diferentes posições sociais que tentam impor sua visão de mundo para todos os que estão presentes. Nesse sentido, é importante considerar a construção de hierarquias e as relações de interdependências envolvendo os principais grupos atuantes nesse espaço.

O presente trabalho apresenta um modelo geral de simulação em tempo real de operação de reservatórios que trabalha como parte de um sistema de suporte à decisão, fornecendo informações sobre as disponibilidades hídricas do sistema de múltiplos reservatórios, em função de restrições vinculadas aos volumes armazenados. Este modelo é composto de duas partes: um software de pré-processamento, escrito em linguagem Python, que constrói os arquivos de entrada do programa principal, e um software responsável pela simulação da operação de um sistema de reservatórios (OperRes), escrito parte em Python e parte em Fortran. O modelo é aplicado à bacia do rio Paraguaçu localizada no estado da Bahia. A bacia apresenta como principal reservatório o açude formado pela barragem de Pedra do Cavalo, que é responsável pela maior parte do abastecimento da cidade de Salvador e região metropolitana. A aplicação do modelo é feita com o objetivo de se verificar a sua adequação à região em estudo, através da comparação dos dados reais com os resultados das simulações. Também é feita a simulação da operação dos treze açudes representados no sistema para se obter o resultado do seu comportamento durante um período de sete meses de estiagem.This work shows a general simulation model of reservoirs operation to be run in real time working as part of a decision support system, which is supposed to give information about water availability in the reservoir system. This model is built in two parts: a pre-processing software, written in Python language, which builds the data files of the main program, and another software dedicated to the simulation of the reservoir system operation (OperRes) written in Python and Fortran languages. The model is applied to the Paraguaçu river basin, at Bahia State, Brazil. Pedra do Cavalo Dam is the basin main reservoir, which is responsible for most of Salvador city and metropolitan region water supply. The model application is performed to verify its adequacy to the studied region, comparing real date and simulation values. The operation of a system composed of thirteen reservoirs is also simulated, in order to obtain results of their behavior during seven months of drought period.

Água é essencial e o desafio de sua gestão é atender à crescente demanda com recursos limitados, tanto em quantidade como em qualidade. Atingir esse objetivo, de forma sustentável a longo prazo, constitui tarefa complexa. Nesta perspectiva, o Brasil seguiu o modelo descentralizado francês, com adoção da bacia hidrográfica como unidade de planejamento. Porém, a legislação não tem sido suficiente para garantir a implementação de uma gestão descentralizada e participativa. A tomada de decisão nesse modelo demanda atualização constante das informações e dados, como qualidade e quantidade de água, crescimento populacional, uso e ocupação do solo, por exemplo, que devem servir de suporte às decisões; contudo, como a recente crise hídrica vivenciada no Estado de São Paulo mostra, a gestão dos recursos hídricos ainda tem grandes desafios. A partir do debate atual sobre governança da água, esta dissertação, ancorada em um estudo interdisciplinar quali-quantitativo, traz um levantamento histórico sobre a sub-bacia hidrográfica do rio Una, um importante afluente do rio Paraíba do Sul, e busca discutir as atividades desenvolvidas pelo comitê de bacia responsável pela sua gestão, o Comitê da Bacia Hidrográfica do rio Paraíba do Sul (CBH-PS), bem como a dinâmica do processo de tomada de decisão nesta instância. Busca ainda analisar amostras de água e sedimentos coletados ao longo dessa sub-bacia, na perspectiva de sinalizar possíveis ações de melhoria na qualidade de sua água. Para tanto foram realizadas pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, coletas e análises de amostras de águas e sedimentos da sub-bacia, e acompanhamento das atividades do CBH-PS e suas Câmaras Técnicas. As quatro campanhas de coleta e análises realizadas em 2015 mostram como principais problemas desta sub-bacia o lançamento de esgotos domésticos sem tratamento e a contaminação por metais causada pelo arraste de solo, devido à erosão. O estudo do Comitê de Bacias revela que este não envida esforços na publicização de suas ações; além disso os Planos de Bacia e os Relatórios Anuais de Situação não demonstram de forma clara a piora na qualidade da água observada nos últimos anos. Já o acompanhamento das reuniões demonstra lacunas entre as ações definidas no Plano de Bacias e as atividades em andamento.Water is essential and the management challenge is to meet the growing demand with limited resources, both in quantity and in quality. Achieving this goal, in a sustainable way in the long-term, is a complex task. In this perspective, Brazil followed the French decentralized model, with adoption of the river basin as a planning unit. However, the legislation has not been enough to ensure the implementation of a decentralized and participatory management. This decision-making model demands constant updating of information and data, such as quality and quantity of water, population growth, land use and occupation, for example, which must support the decisions; however, as the recent water crisis experienced in the São Paulo state shows, the water resources management still has major challenges. From the current debate on water governance, this dissertation, anchored in an interdisciplinary qualitative and quantitative study offers a historical survey of the Una sub-basin river, a major tributary of the Paraíba do Sul River, and discusses the managing activities developed by the river basin committee, the Paraíba do Sul River Basin Committee (CBH-PS) as well as the dynamics of the decision-making process in this instance. Also, it seeks to analyze water and sediment samples collected over this sub-basin river with the purpose to indicate possible actions to improve the water quality. Therefore, a bibliographic and documentary research was conducted, as well as sampling and analysis of water and sediment, and observation of the CBH-PS activities and its Technical Chambers. The four sampling campaigns and analyzes carried out in 2015 show as the main problems of this sub-basin the disposal of wastewater without treatment and metal contamination caused by soil drag, due to erosion. The study of the River Basin Committee reveals that they are not making efforts in publicizing their actions, besides the Basin Plans and Annual Reports of Status do not show clearly the decline in water quality observed in recent years. The monitoring of the meetings shows a gap between the actions defined in the Basin Plan and ongoing activities.

Among the themes that appear in the agenda of environmental policy, the water crisis, which affects a large part of the world, is an important item that arouses the interest of governments and several social, environmental and market segments. In the globalized world, public policies and modes of management of water resources can be seen as a strategic and geopolitical issue given the importance of water for productive processes and life itself. In Brazil, water is managed by the basin committee, an administrative unit that is different from the politicaladministrative division of the Federation as established by the Federal Constitution of 1988. This work aims at discussing and understanding the role of the Basin Committee of the Paranaíba River in the of creation and decision processes of policies for the management of water resources in the basin as an integration of the institutional arrangement as defined by Law 9.433/1997, which establishes the participation of the Public Power, users and the organized civil society as agents in the shared management of water resources in Brazil. The investigated problem has been synthesized into an open question: What is the political protagonism of the basin committees within the institutional arrangement of decentralization of the national policy on water resources? The work is grounded on the hypothesis that the role of political protagonist of the basin committees is secondary in the decentralized structure of management of water resources in Brazil. Multi-method quality research was chosen as it is an approach that does not constrain the researcher to any given specific method only, but it also allows a wider range of data collection. In the present study, upon the association of more than one method of qualitative research, the multi-method approach was configured in the use of more than one instrument of field research and in the performed analysis. The work seeks to analyze and understand the dynamics of the decision-making process adopted by the Paranaíba River Basin Committee, with reference to the decentralization format for the management of water resources adopted by Law 9433/1997 and by the National Policy and Water Resources.The Basin Committee of the Paranaíba River was created through a Presidential Decree on 16 July 2002 and installed in 2008. It occupies an area of 63.3% of the state of Goiás, 3.4% of Mato Grosso do Sul, 31.7% of Minas Gerais and 1.6% of the Federal District. It encompasses 197 municipalities and the Federal District4. The research analyzes the period between the installation of the Basin Committee of the Paranaíba River – namely the year 2008 – and the publishing of the Plan of Water Resources of the Basin, in 2014.
Dentre os temas que figuram na pauta da política ambiental, a crise hídrica, que afeta boa parte do mundo, é tema importante e desperta interesse de governos, de vários segmentos sociais, ambientais e de mercado. No cenário globalizado, as políticas públicas e formas de gestão dos recursos hídricos podem ser vistas como uma questão estratégica e de geopolítica, dada a importância da água para os processos produtivos e para a vida. No Brasil, a gestão da água deve ser feita pelo comitê de bacia, que constitui-se como uma unidade administrativa diferente da divisão político-administrativa da Federação, estabelecida pela Constituição Federal de 1988. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de discutir e compreender o papel do Comitê de Bacia do Rio Paranaíba no processo de elaboração e decisão de políticas para a gestão dos recursos hídricos no âmbito da bacia como integrante do arranjo institucional definido pela Lei 9.433/1997, que estabelece a participação do Poder Público, dos usuários e da sociedade civil organizada como atores na gestão compartilhada dos recursos hídricos no Brasil. O problema investigado foi sintetizado em uma pergunta aberta: qual o protagonismo político dos comitês de bacia dentro do arranjo institucional de descentralização da política nacional de recursos hídricos? Parte-se da hipótese de que o papel de protagonista político dos comitês de bacia é secundário na estrutura descentralizada da gestão dos recursos hídricos no Brasil. A opção metodológica foi pela pesquisa qualitativa multimétodo, uma abordagem que permite ao pesquisador/a não se restringir a um método específico, único, mas lançar mão de mais de um caminho para a coleta de dados. No estudo realizado, ao fazer a associação de mais de um método de pesquisa qualitativa, a abordagem multimétodos se configurou na utilização de mais de um instrumento de pesquisa de campo e na análise feita. Busca-se analisar e compreender a dinâmica do processo decisório adotado pelo Comitê de Bacia do Rio Paranaíba, tendo como referência o formato de descentralização da gestão dos recursos hídricos adotada pela Lei 9433/1997 e pela Política Nacional e Recursos Hídricos. O Comitê da Bacia do Rio Paranaíba foi criado pelo Decreto Presidencial de 16 de julho de 2002, e instalado em 2008. Ocupa uma área de 63,3% de Goiás, 3,4% de Mato Grosso do Sul, 31,7% de Minas Gerais e 1,6% do Distrito Federal. Abrange 197 municípios e o Distrito Federal. A pesquisa analisa o período da instalação do Comitê de Bacia do Rio Paranaíba - ano de 2008 - até a publicação do Plano de Recursos Hídricos da Bacia, em 2014.

Uma nova Constituição Federal foi estabelecida no final dos anos 80
conferindo à sociedade civil o direito de participar ativamente nas tomadas de
decisões em diversas áreas, como a de recursos hídricos, através de
representações de segmentos sociais. No contexto da gestão participativa das
águas, o Estado do Rio de Janeiro instituiu sua Política Estadual de Recursos
Hídricos, pela Lei n 3.239 em 1999, e criou o Sistema Estadual de Gerenciamento
de Recursos Hídricos. Dentro das diretrizes estabelecidas pela Lei das Águas, nove
comitês fluminenses foram criados, de acordo com as divisões de bacias
hidrográficas. Este trabalho propõe analisar os comitês de bacia, quanto ao
desempenho de suas atribuições, através de uma pesquisa qualitativa junto aos
membros titulares desses colegiados. Com metodologia baseada no conceituado
Projeto Marca dÁgua, um extenso questionário foi aplicado utilizando-se de uma
plataforma Survey via internet, onde no total coletou-se 112 respostas. Dos
resultados, no geral, conclui-se que os Comitês fluminenses vivem um momento de
progresso e que a gestão realizada vem demonstrando resultados satisfatórios.A new Constitution was established at the end of the 1980s, allowing civil society to take part actively in decision-making in several areas, such as the one of water resources, through representatives from specific social segments. In the context of participatory management of water resources, Rio de Janeiro State has set up its Water Resources State Policy, through the Law n3.239, in 1999, and created the State System of Water Management. According to the policy established by the Law of Waters, nine committees were created, one for each river basin. This study analyzes the river basin committees as to their performance, through a qualitative research which was conducted with their members. The methodology applied was based on the highly esteemed study of the Watermark Project. Each committee member was given an online questionnaire in the Survey platform. The total amount of answers collected was of 112. From the results, the conclusion was that the committees in Rio de Janeiro are experiencing a moment of progress and that the management measures have demonstrated satisfactory results.

<em>Abstract</em>.—Effective means to directly engage the public in determining reservoir fishery management objectives and strategies is a common challenge to managers. This paper examines the experiences and lessons acquired from three separate situations in which citizen advisory committees were used to assist fishery management biologists in resolving conflicts and setting management objectives for three lakes in Arkansas. Benefits included a better understanding on both the part of anglers and agency biologists of their respective motivations and preferences, a greater sense of shared ownership of solutions, and a well-defined but flexible management plan. The effectiveness of citizen advisory committees was challenged by dissent and mistrust among advisory committee members, failure of committee members to communicate management plans outside the committee proper, political intervention, and the threat to agency credibility if the agreed plans fail to be implemented. Citizen advisory committees can be an effective tool for crafting reservoir fishery management plans.

<em>Abstract</em>.—Lake Norman is a 13,156-ha reservoir located north of Charlotte, North Carolina. Given its similarity in size to major reservoirs in adjacent states, anglers believe Lake Norman should produce a quality/trophy fishery for striped bass <em>Morone saxatilis</em>. However, the low nutrient loading of this reservoir make this expectation unrealistic, which has lead to two decades of conflict. Specifically, the inability of fishery managers to meet the unrealistic expectations of striped bass anglers has resulted in public criticism of management actions and a general lack of respect for fisheries management principles. Two organized fishing groups have taken management into their own hands by stocking alewives <em>Alosa pseudoharengus </em>and blueback herring <em>A. aestivalis</em> in hopes of improving the forage base for striped bass. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) undertook a number of efforts in an attempt to resolve this conflict, including meeting directly with angling groups, conducting public meetings, and providing information through the local print media. While each of these efforts met with some short-term success, they were unsuccessful over the long-term in elevating the debate beyond specific management options proposed by the angling groups. In 1998, the NCWRC established a Fisheries Advisory Committee; however, the membership did not represent all angling stakeholder groups. The committee was able to build consensus on a number of issues, but the activities and successes of the committee were not adequately conveyed to the general angling public. Recently, fisheries managers have attempted to engage the general angling public in a more effective manner. The NCWRC is currently providing population assessment data via the Internet, conducting an intensive creel survey, designing an angler opinion survey, and drafting a comprehensive fisheries management plan for Lake Norman.

ABSTRACT The bonytail <em>Gila elegans </em>is endemic to the Colorado River drainage of the American West. In the lower basin, this unique cyprinid historically occurred in the Colorado River main stem and its tributaries from Glen Canyon Dam downstream into Mexico. The species is distinct morphologically and genetically although intermediate forms have been noted from the upper basin. Today, wild individuals may persist in the lower basin in Lake Mojave, Arizona–Nevada. Management activities include broodstock development, the development of grow-out ponds and native fish habitats, and the stocking of bonytail into lakes Mojave and Havasu. Smaller bonytail (<10 cm) were first stocked in Lake Mojave in 1980. Very few of these bonytail have been collected during annual monitoring of the lake during the last 25 years. Today, larger fish (>25 cm) are stocked after being passive integrated transponder-tagged. Predation, particularly on the smaller fish, is thought to be the main reason for the lack of recruitment. Bonytail were stocked in Lake Havasu in 1994 using fish greater than 25 cm. To date, 19 fish have been collected. Although this is a small number of individuals, their recapture is encouraging and suggests that bonytail can be established by stocking larger individuals. A management plan for the big-river fishes of the lower Colorado River basin has been completed by a multi-agency committee.

<em>Abstract</em>.—There are 11 lamprey species in Canada: Vancouver lamprey <em>Entosphenus macrostomus</em> (formerly <em>Lampetra macrostoma</em>), Pacific lamprey <em>Entosphenus tridentatus</em> (formerly <em>Lampetra tridentata</em>), chestnut lamprey <em>Ichthyomyzon castaneus</em>, northern brook lamprey <em>Ichthyomyzon fossor</em>, silver lamprey <em>Ichthtyomyzon unicuspis</em>, river lamprey <em>Lampetra ayresii</em>, western brook lamprey <em>Lampetra richardsoni</em>, Alaskan brook lamprey <em>Lethenteron alaskense</em>, American brook lamprey <em>Lethenteron appendix</em> (formerly <em>Lampetra appendix</em>), Arctic lamprey <em>Lethenteron camtschaticum</em> (formerly <em>Lampetra camtschatica</em>), and sea lamprey <em>Petromyzon marinus</em>. <em>Entosphenus</em> and <em>Lethenteron</em> were previously synonymized with <em>Lampetra</em>, but Nelson (2006) recognized these as three distinct genera. Conservation status has been assessed in only five species and in two of these (western brook lamprey and chestnut lamprey), only for portions of their Canadian population. The 2007 Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada list indicates that the enigmatic population of western brook lamprey in Morrison Creek, British Columbia, is endangered; the Vancouver lamprey in British Columbia is threatened; the chestnut lamprey in Saskatchewan and Manitoba is special concern; the northern brook lamprey in Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec is of special concern in the latter two provinces and data deficient in the former; and the Alaskan brook lamprey in the Northwest Territories is data deficient. The threats to the four species at risk were collectively related to habitat degradation and loss, sensitivity to a catastrophic event, and sensitivity to lampricide used to control the invasive sea lamprey in the Great Lakes basin. Despite much lamprey work being conducted in the past decade, there still remain a number of knowledge gaps. These gaps include unequivocal evidence as to whether parasitic and nonparasitic members of a paired species should be considered distinct species and information on the distribution and population sizes and trends of the native lamprey species.

<em>Abstract.</em>—Pacific salmon are important to the First Nations of the Skeena River watershed in British Columbia. The Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) was formed in 1985 through a memorandum of understanding between the watershed’s five First Nations: Tsimshian, Gitxsan, Gitanyow, Wet’suwet’en, and Lake Babine. SFC focuses on salmon management, research, and conservation through governance and technical committees. This paper describes the development of fishery management capacity of SFC within the context of the cultural importance of salmon, the history of salmon management measures, and land claims. Capacity is analyzed in terms of the ability to perform eight management functions: policy making, negotiation and resource planning; stock assessment; fishery monitoring; enforcement and compliance; research, habitat and enhancement activities; data gathering and analysis for resource planning; creating benefits for fishermen and communities; and training and education. Policy making, negotiating, and planning occur between SFC and the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) through formal and informal consultations and monthly technical meetings. SFC also participates in committees at the federal and international levels. Stock assessment activities include spawner enumerations, counting weirs, mark-recapture studies, hydroacoustic surveys, and sampling fish for genetic stock identification. Catch monitoring of the food fishery has been regularly conducted since 1991. First Nation Rangers and federal Fisheries Officers enforce traditional and federal law, respectively. Member First Nations conduct research projects with assistance from SFC staff and infrastructure. Habitat and conservation enhancement projects include road culvert assessments and hatchery rearing of Kitwanga Lake sockeye salmon <em>Oncorhynchus nerka</em>. The creation of benefits for communities occurs through two in-river fisheries. Finally, training and education include SFC-run workshops and specialized training by external sources. SFC will conduct most management functions in the future; however, funding remains a constraint to program expansion. Key elements of the success of the SFC include: the cultural imperative to protect fish, the community origin and leadership of the SFC, a favorable political environment, the early recognition of the need for a watershed-wide organization, and the availability of government funding.

Full textAbstract:
This work proposes a preliminary analysis of the environmental risks caused in the Uraim River basin, in which the river that names it is used as a source of water supply in the municipality of Paragominas, State of Para, Brazil. The method used was deductive, as it is based on two true premises: (1) The river basins are altered by human actions, (2) the quality of the source of water supply becomes a challenge for the operators of water treatment plants. (WTP). The predominant activities in the municipality are livestock, agriculture, mining, logging and trade in services. The results showed that the Uraim River basin has high deforestation of native vegetation. Twelve areas of high and very high risk of a mass movement and flooding were identified, which are associated with the disorderly expansion of the urban area, combined with the geomorphology and geology of the region. It is recommended that the Uraim River basin committee be implemented, so that its watershed management can take place, in the incessant search for improving the quality of source of water supply, so that it is feasible to capture, treat and distribute safety drinking water to the population.

Full textAbstract:
On February 25, 2009, OCP Ecuador S.A. faced its first incident; an oil spill consisting of 11,700 barrels of heavy crude oil in an area of high biodiversity in eastern Ecuador. An earth movement caused stress in the pipeline causing its breakage. The temporarily impacted area covered 30 hectares of soil and gravel along 180 kilometers of three rivers that form the high watershed of the Amazon River; these rivers are the Santa Rosa, Quijos and the Coca. During the emergency, while workers rallied to contain the spill and clean the affected area, other workers took safety precautions regarding the health of the inhabitants of the area. Consequently, 1,258 residents from the Gonzalo Pizarro and Orellana cantons received medical assistance in order to rule out patients with pathologies related to the oil spill. OCP executed a joint effort with the Emergency Operations Committee (COE) stationed in Coca in order to supply water for the citizens that reside in the affected area. OCP responded to the requirements claimed by residents, all of which were approved by the COE. Communities affected by the event participated in cleaning efforts through the creation of temporary jobs for them. OCP strictly adhered to the regulations passed by the Ministry of the Environment and those of internationally accepted best practices for these types of events. The media and the citizenry were kept continuously abreast of developments. In addition, all corresponding works and reliability tests were performed on March 4 in order to restart pumping activities. On September 30th, 2009, and following a rigorous process of cleaning and remediation (L&Rr—in Spanish) activities, all tasks were completed in all affected areas prior to an inspection and a walking tour of the area performed by governmental authorities, community members and independent observers. For the collective benefit of affected communities, the environment and OCP, local authorities and international auditors recognized the model established during the event. OCP created a taskforce charged with the execution of the Environmental Remediation Program (PRA—in Spanish) and environmental authorities prepared and approved this program. The Environmental Remediation Taskforce (UPRA) covered the following aspects related to the incident: legal, environmental, cleaning and remediation technical aspects, as well as social, environmental, financial, insurance, internal and external communication aspects, along with a rigorous oversight of contractors. The model implemented is the first of its kind deployed in Ecuador. National and international regulations in force validated the methodology used to remediate the soil, riverbanks and surface water contaminated with the oil caused by the incident. The application of this methodology, aptly deployed in response to the distress situation present at the various affected areas, allowed a reduction in a short period, of the total hydrocarbon concentrations established in the environmental standard, to equal or lower values than those previously indicated for sensitive ecosystems. OCP developed and implemented a technical, environmental and economic matrix that allowed the Company to choose and justify the remediation methods used in affected areas.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The Influx Management Envelope (IME) is a proven tool to assess management of influxes taken during MPD operations. Currently, IME establishes limits of manageable influx volumes for given kick intensity/surface back-pressures, to hand over from primary to secondary barrier (i.e., well-control equipment). Opportunities exist for advanced, safe operations when influx circulation up the riser is a concern but dealing with the influx in the hole may introduce additional risks, such as imposing choke line friction pressures (CLFP), particularly in ultra-deepwater operations. A closed riser system allows for safe handling of influxes using the riser/MPD equipment, while isolating the wellbore with the subsea BOP and eliminating risks of fracturing the well or taking additional influxes. We propose expanding the current regions of the IME with a zone in which the decision can be made to circulate the influx to the riser, then isolate the well to handle the influx in the riser with MPD equipment, using the opportunities and methods being developed for industry use. Potential risks to the integrity of the system are analyzed and assessed versus reasonable scenarios. This work is consistent with the current work on providing guidelines for influx management with MPD (IM Annex to API-RP92S, under balloting process by API), and for managing gas in riser with closed riser systems (Riser Gas Handling (RGH) Guidelines, by the IADC UBO&MPD Committee).

Basic Technical Details: Displacement: 5000 tonnes; Width: 23.2m; Height: 6.6m; Length: 65m; Draught: 3.5m; Processing Throughput: 7000m3/year. In October 1993, the Governments of Japan and the Russian Federation signed an Intergovernmental Agreement to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons in the Former Soviet Union. Towards achieving this goal, the Japanese Government had initially allotted $100 million towards, which was increased to $200 million in 1999. The main objective of the Suzuran project is to process low-level liquid radioactive waste, which has been in storage for some years, and prevent it from being dumped into the seas shared by Japan and Russia. The construction and completion of the Suzuran, in the Russian Far East, is the brainchild of the Japanese Government, and is the first successful international project of its kind in Russia. Suzuran neatly solves the problem of making safe the liquid radioactive waste being derived from general purpose and missile nuclear submarines of the Russian Pacific Fleet as they are decommissioned and dismantled. The project was administered by the Technical Secretariat of the Japan-Russia Committee for Co-operation on Reducing Nuclear Weapons, who appointed Crown Agents as their agent and RWE NUKEM as their Technical Consultants to manage the project on a day to day basis and oversee the tender, construction and commissioning. This project is unique and complex in that it is, in reality, two projects. Firstly, the construction of a sea-going barge and, secondly, the construction of a complex radioactive liquid waste processing facility. Changes in the Russian Radiation Regulations during the course of the project, required the design to be altered significantly; for example, the facility had to be mounted within the structure of the vessel. Numerous regulators, design and testing institutes were involved throughout the project, to ensure it complied with both Russian and International regulations. Suzuran is the only floating complex that can operate independently for up to 30 days away from base. It is also exceptional in having the greatest throughput capacity of any project of its type and in being fully actively commissioned and licensed to operate, as part of the original contract. Other similar projects, which have a lower throughput and are land-based, have been handed over prior to completion of active commissioning. The international project was particularly complex since it involved not only Japan and Russia but also a Japanese-American contractor, who subcontracted the construction work to Russian shipyards. The Amurski Shipyard at Komsomolsk-na-Amur constructed the Vessel and the processing Facility was constructed in America and shipped to Russia where it was installed on the Barge. The Barge was then towed down the Amur River and down the Russian East Coast to Bolshoi Kamen where it was inactively and actively commissioned. The completed Barge was completed and is now operating, following a one-year warranty period. The project required everyone’s close co-operation and understanding. Particularly onerous was the need to comply with comprehensive Russian regulations, both for sea-going vessels as well as for nuclear facilities. This is a success story in itself. The official Handover ceremony of Suzuran was held in November 2000 and is now operating at the Far Eastern Shipyard, Zvezda. This paper will describe the history and process involved in establishing the Barge project for the treatment of Low Level Liquid Radioactive Waste.

Full textAbstract:
TransCanada owns and operates over 38,000 km of pipeline throughout North America, which cross over 3,300 slopes and 1,200 watercourses. Ground movements on slopes at river crossings are an important pipeline hazard across Canada and especially within the Alberta system. These movements have led to several past pipeline ruptures and the development of a relatively extensive slope monitoring program. Historically, ground movement impacts are an industry-wide problem. The results of a 1998 study by the Gas Research Institute reported that external force damage from natural forces, including ground movement, was responsible for approximately 12 percent of all incidents reported on U.S. onshore pipelines between 1985 and 1994. Of all natural force incidents, ground movement accounted for approximately 29 percent of the total, on average. Furthermore, of all fires or explosions resulting from pipeline incidents, ground movements were reported responsible for about 5 percent of the total. In a similar study of Alberta pipeline failures and incidents between 1980 and 1997 (EUB, 1998), ground movement was the cause of 56 ruptures, or 3.5 percent of the total. Until recently, monitoring of the progress of slope movements was reactive and undertaken in a traditional fashion, using primarily slope inclinometers and/or ground surveys. Recently, however, TransCanada has adopted a proactive approach for the management of ground movements. Consistent with the management of other pipeline hazards, such as corrosion, ground movements are cast in a risk-based framework. The application of DInSAR technology, Differential Interferometry applied to satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, fits well within the proactive approach and has proven successful in measuring ground movements on ROW slopes to sub-centimetre accuracy. In 2000, a Pipeline Research Committee International (PRCI) study was carried out on a TransCanada Right of Way (RoW) that compared conventional slope indicator readings with DInSAR technology and proved the capability of the technology. TransCanada has begun to use DInSAR technology in this program of monitoring Alberta slopes. Typically, TransCanada monitors slope movements at 53 sites with frequency of readings between bi-annually and 4 times per year using conventional methods. Since 2001, 14 slopes on the TransCanada system have been instrumented using DInSAR methods and monitoring of movements using interferometric methods is continuing.

Rias-type bays are one of the most common coasts in Japan where aquacultures have been active due to sheltered geological shape with a deep bottom. The huge tsunami hit Sanriku Coast consisting of open rias-type bays near the epicenter facing Pacific Ocean on 11 March 2011. For recovering Sanriku Coast, it is important to include sustainability in its program. Satoumi is defined as the human use and management of coastal seas for high productivity while maintaining high biodiversity. Therefore, we proposed Satoumi approach to an open rias-type bay, Shizugawa Bay, in southern Sanriku Coast. We conducted scientific researches on mapping of coastal habitats and aquaculture facilities, hydrography, and material flows of nutrients, a minor element (Fe) and organic matters in the bay including those from the rivers and from the offshore waters. At the same time, Committee for Shizugawa Bay Management of Fishermen’s Cooperative of Miyagi Prefecture decided to decrease in aquaculture facilities for sustainable development of aquaculture. Based on these data, a physical-biological coupling model was used for calculating the number of aquaculture facilities that are suitable not only for yields but also for environments. These researches were established on strong collaborations among a fishermen’s’ cooperative, local governments and scientists. Results of this practice may help to realize sustainable coastal use of a rias-type bay.
