Abstract:
Abstract Rivers are commonly used to define political borders, but no global study has quantified the importance of rivers on territorial delimitation at subnational scales. This paper presents Global Subnational River-Borders (GSRB), a first comprehensive geospatial dataset of subnational, as well as national, political borders set by large rivers. GSRB incorporates three previous vector datasets (GAUL, GRWL + +, and WDBII) to map and quantify the use of large rivers as political borders at local, state, and national scales. GSRB conservatively finds that at least 58,588 km (23%) of the world's interior (non-coastal) national borders, 199,922 km (17%) of the world's interior state/province borders, and 459,459 km (12%) of the world's interior local-level political borders are set by large rivers. GSRB finds 222, 2,350, and 14,808 dyads sharing river-borders at these three administrative scales, respectively. While previous studies have emphasized transboundary rivers separating nations, GSRB highlights the abundance of river-borders at subnational scales, where numerous domestic stakeholders share jurisdiction in water resource management. These participants, identified with GSRB, ought not to be ignored when crafting water policy and instituting whole-basin management regimes. GSRB should prove useful for global, geospatial analyses of riparian stakeholders across administrative scales. The GSRB dataset (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3906566) can be found via the following link https://zenodo.org/record/3906567#.XvN-GGhKjIU.

Abstract:
The obsession with inter-state territorial borders and the associated paraphernalia of border management and security makes borders and their management a primarily human-centric discourse. This paper makes an attempt at introducing the agency of rivers as non-human actors—or rather as actants—in shaping and managing international borders. The paper looks specifically at the riverine sector of the Indo-Bangladesh border, where the international boundary has been re-negotiated each year by the transnational rivers, primarily the Brahmaputra (also the Gangadhar), through flooding, erosion, and deposition of sediment. By interrogating the role of rivers in shaping the border and border management strategies, the paper argues that humans, despite persisting as the primary agents in border management, are not the only actors. Drawing on Actor Network Theory (ANT), a case is made to appreciate the general symmetry between humans and non-humans as a-priori equal. Incorporating both in an actor-network may provide insights into border management in complex borderlands.

Abstract:
Abstract One of the areas in Central Java Province that is prone to flooding is Sragen Regency. The distribution of flood disasters occurs in commensurate rivers and river confluences in lowlands which are dominated by settlements and agricultural land. The purpose of this study was to analyze the distribution of landforms along riverbanks in residential areas and rice fields, refugee shelter locations and evacuation routes for handling disaster risk reduction. The research method is grounded research by recording the population census and public facilities at the affected residential locations. Determination of evacuation locations and routes by using evacuation criteria parameters and safe distance parameters to determine the classification of refugee evacuation locations. The results of the study found that there was a lack of understanding of the landforms of river borders for agricultural and residential land, the utilization and loss of embankments on comparable rivers, especially in areas of interconnection between rivers in the lowlands. To minimize the risk of flooding, it is necessary to add EWS, river border land that is already owned by the community, the use of right of use must be gradually returned as a river border and the selection of the right location and route evacuation.

Abstract:
Abstract Some of the richest places in the world have very high historical border presence, and are often located in particular geographic environments. In this paper we compile grid-cell level data on borders between sovereign states in Europe and surrounding areas from 1500 until today to document that state borders tend to be located in rugged and mountainous terrain, by rivers, and where it rains a lot. Moreover, two commonly used measures of economic activity—night lights and population density—are higher in cells with more borders, in particular more stable borders. This result holds also when controlling for geography. However, by the same metric, cells with more borders than neighboring cells are less developed than those neighbors. These patterns are consistent with a theory in which state competition benefits long-run development, but these benefits accrue more to the center than the periphery of states.

Abstract:
In the sangeak (district) Tighina (constituted after the campaign of Suleiman I in 1538) entered the localities located between the Rivers Bậc (to the north) and Botna with the Upper Traian Wave (to the south). From Botna the southern border passed near the village of Chitcani to the Dniester. To the west the boundary of the district was established on the borders of the estates on the Lower Course of the Colinder, from where it followed to the south near the spring of the Larga River. During the period of economic crisis, through which the Ottoman Empire periodically passed, some Turkish dignitaries organized Private Economic Enterprises (called chiftlik), using the land resources of the state inside and outside the sangeak. In this way, chiftliks appeared in the territory remaining under the authority of Moldova, creating problems for the locals in the use of land resources. After 1774 the economic activity of the Turkish inhabitants outside the border of the sangeak Tighina was limited. A new Ottoman administration appeared in Căușeni, which replaced that of the Crimean Khan. The locality of Sălcuța, with Romanian population, being for a century under the administration of the Crimean Khan, was included in the borders of the sangeak Thighina.

Abstract:
In northwestern Siberia, rivers historically played an essential role in structuring economic, cultural, and administrative space. The rivers’ role in spatial perception is reflected in vocabulary of some local languages. With the recent development of roads and railroads, a new way has emerged to structure socioeconomic and political space. The two systems of spatial structuring contradict each other, and their relative importance for different local groups depends on their professional and ethnocultural affiliation. This leads to different perceptions of space, distances, and geographic directions by the members of these groups. Furthermore, since the administrative borders reflect the “river” system, but the administrative power is increasingly projected along the roads and railroads, the conflict between the two systems has a political dimension.

Abstract:
The article presents the problem of changes in administrative borders in the Lubelskie region throughout the past 60 years, since the end of World War II. In this period Poland experienced four major reforms that transformed the system and structure of administrative division. In five periods between the reforms there were also certain minor changes along the national borders. The analysis of changes was primarily based on cartographic materials presenting the administrative divisions, which allowed for efficient analyses of the border routes. Using the archive maps the authors prepared analytical maps from 8 temporal perspectives. Consequently, synthetic maps presenting all the observed changes in voivodship (Polish: województwo), county (Polish: powiat) and commune (Polish: gmina) borders were drafted. Such materials were the base for preparing the final maps illustrating the stability of the border routes between voivodships, counties and communes. The analyses of the materials allowed number of conclusions to be drawn. Firstly, the borders of Lubelskie Voivodship are relatively stable, particularly the fragments which run along the Vistula and the Bug Rivers. In the case of county borders, their permanence is much lower. At the lowest level of administrative division, variability is the highest, yet the share of permanent borders reaches 40%. Generally, it can be stated that the higher the level of administrative division, the higher the stability of borders. The present article may constitute a basis for further research on the causes and effects of borders between administrative units. Along with the analysis of border permanence, another problem that the authors addressed is the method of linear presentation of object changes. In order to analyse border changes effectively, the authors propose an indirect presentation of border stability by showing the stability of the area marked within these borders. Such a device substitutes the troublesome analysis of overlapping linear structure with an analysis of a clearer image of stability, presented with contour lines.

Full text
Abstract:
South Africa's water resources are unequally distributed over space and time to a high degree and our already stressed water resources situation will only be exacerbated by climate change if current predictions are correct. The potential for conflict over increasingly strained water resources in South Africa is thus very real. In order to deal with these complex problems national legislation is demanding that water resource management be decentralized to the local level where active participation can take place in an integrated manner in accordance with the principles of IWRM. However, administrative and political boundaries rarely match those of catchments as, throughout South Africa, rivers have been employed extensively to delineate administrative and political boundaries at a number of spatial scales. The aim of this research is to determine if rivers act as dividing or uniting features in a socio-political landscape and whether topography will influence their role in this context. By considering sections of the Orange-Senqu River, some of which are employed as political or administrative boundaries, this project furthermore aims to consider the implications of this for catchment management in South Africa. South Africa's proposed form of decentralized water management will have to contend with the effects of different topographies on the way in which rivers are perceived and utilized. The ability of a river to act as a dividing or uniting feature is dependent on a number of interrelated factors, the effects of which are either reduced or enhanced by the topography surrounding the river. Factors such as the state of the resource, levels of utilization, local histories and the employment of the river as a political or administrative border are all factors that determine the extent to which a river unites or divides the communities along its banks, and are all influenced by topography. The implications of this for the management of catchments in South Africa are significant. Local water management institutions will have to contend with a mismatch in borders and in many cases bridge social divides that are deeply entrenched along the banks of rivers. Importantly, the need for a context specific approach to catchment management is highlighted.

Abstract:
This dissertation explores how local labour markets and labour migration are constructed within in the Pearl River delta region in Guangdong province, south China. The Pearl River delta region has become one of the most industrialized and prosperous regions in China since economic reform began in 1979. Industrial growth has occurred in areas that were primarily agricultural, yet the trajectory of growth has been uneven. Uneven development has generated two distinct economic structures and economic activities within the delta region. The core area is highly industrialized, and partially urbanized, while the periphery is less industrialized and by Pearl River delta standards marginally developed. The data for this study were derived primarily from a survey conducted in five formerly rural communities in the Pearl River delta. Over 400 labour migrants were interviewed. Ethnographic observation and secondary documentary analysis complemented the survey data. I argue, firstly, that rural industrialization created large scale labour migration in and around village settlements rather than urban areas. Labour market formation in Chinese rural contexts offers a sharp contrast to current migration studies and labour market formation. Secondly, the hukou system and other policies of residence management have major consequences for labour migration in China. Labour migration occurs in a domestic context and despite some distinctions occurs within a single cultural system. Chinese labour migrants cross administrative boundaries and face cultural adjustment such as language and industrial work. They can be seen as analogous to foreign workers as described in international migration studies. Yet institutional arrangements create unequal access to the benefits of citizenship and distinctive living arrangements. They generate contested identities in the places where migrants seek employment. The social networks of migrants have become facilitating factors in obtaining jobs and initial settlement, yet they may also hinder social integration into highly solidary host communities. This study has implications beyond labour market formation and identity change. Given the large population of labour migrants in China and the patterns of labour migration under specific institutional context and local social characteristics, it casts light on the profound social transformation in China as a whole.

Abstract:
Border ice is one of many ice freeze-up processes, but it is discussed only to a limited extent in the literature. Border ice formation can be a precursor for ice jam formation that may restrict navigation and lead to flooding. This master’s thesis is mainly devoted to the research on the border ice on the Saint Lawrence River from Montréal to Québec City. This reach stays artificially open all winter because commercial ships are continuously preventing a full ice cover to form. The traffic also limits the extent of border ice. This study provides key information on ice formation and decay. Through analysis of Environment Canada’s historical data (ice charts from 2004 to 2009), the areal coverage of border ice is analyzed during freeze-up, winter and breakup periods. The historical information of ice coverage is collected in order to find out the factors which influence its formation and its spatial limits. Border ice growth and decay rates are also discussed. The thesis shows that border ice coverage has three stages including the rapid growth period at the beginning of the winter, the relatively stable period in the mid-winter and the breakup period as March progresses. During the mid-winter period, the border ice coverage sometimes drops sharply if the air temperature rises above 0 °C and/or if there is some rain. It was also found that the maximum border ice spatial limits are quite similar over the five winter seasons. Based on the analysis of the ice charts, a number of empirical laws regarding the formation and decay of border ice are proposed. Along the river flowing direction, the border ice is formed easily when there are obstacles particularly at the downstream end. The obstacles could include river bends, ice booms, shoals, artificial islands, bridge piers and so on. Thus, the obstacle influences the flow velocity, which is an important factor for ice formation and also provides an object against which the ice can become fast and initiate its formation. On average, border ice reaches 20% of its maximum coverage when the accumulated freezing degree days (AFDD) reaches 124 °C-D. This is followed by a rapid growth period that ends when the ice cover reaches about 80% of its maximum cover corresponding to AFDD equal to 247 °C-D. Border ice coverage usually reaches the maximum value when the average AFDD is 551 °C-D corresponding to the end of January. The winter period is characterised by a stable ice cover (>90% of max) upstream of Trois-Rivières except in the event of a mid-winter thaw. Downstream of Trois-Rivières there is no stable period as the decay begins very soon after the ice reaches its maximum value. Breakup is a gradual process that normally begins on about Feb. 15th downstream of Trois- Rivières and about March 1st upstream. Most ice has normally gone by March 31st. Moreover, the river flow velocity, river depth and Froude number along the limits of border ice once it reaches its maximal areal coverage are evaluated and analyzed. The flow velocity is almost always less than 1.0 m/s; the maximum Froude number is normally 0.1 at Lake Saint-Pierre and 0.2 in the Montréal to Sorel reach; river depth at the ice edge can vary widely. Through numerical modelling, it was found that border ice increased the current velocity by 0.1 m/s in the Lake Saint-Pierre reach and raised water levels by 14 cm in the Montréal to Sorel reach.
La glace de rive est un des nombreux processus de formation des couverts de glace sur les rivières. Cependant peu d’articles dans la littérature traitent de ce sujet malgré que la formation de la glace de rive peut-être un précurseur de l’apparition d’embâcles qui peuvent entrainer des inondations. Ce mémoire de Maitrise porte sur l’étude de la glace de rive le long de la portion du fleuve Saint-Laurent allant de Montréal à Québec. Du fait qu’il y a de la navigation commerciale toute l’année, le fleuve reste ouvert (libre d’un couvert de glace entier) artificiellement pendant tout l’hiver. Ce trafic limite aussi l’extension de la glace de rive. Cette étude fournit des informations clés sur la formation et la désagrégation de la glace de rive. À partir des données historiques d’Environnement Canada (cartes des glaces de 2004 à 2009), la répartition superficielle de la glace de rive est analysée pour les périodes de formation, de stabilité et de rupture de la glace. Les informations historiques sur les couvertures de glace sont collectées afin de déterminer les paramètres qui influencent la formation et les limites spatiales de ce type de glace. Les taux de croissance et de décomposition de la glace de rive sont aussi abordés. Il est montré que l’évolution de la structure propre à la couverture de la glace de rive se fait en trois étapes. Une période de formation rapide (début hiver), suivie d’une période stable (milieu d’hiver) et enfin une période de rupture (pendant le moi de mars). Pendant la période stable, la glace de rive se rompt partiellement parfois lorsque la température de l’air monte au dessus de zéro °C et surtout lorsque le redoux est accompagné de pluie. Il a été trouvé aussi que les limites spatiales maximales des glaces de rive sont très semblables sur 5 hivers de la période d’étude. À partir de l’analyse des cartes des glaces, un certain nombre de relations empiriques sont proposées. Ces relations caractérisent la formation et la désagrégation des glaces de rive. Le long de la direction de l’écoulement la glace de rive est formée facilement en présence d’obstacles, et particulièrement lorsqu’elles sont à l’extrémité aval. Parmi ces obstacles on peut citer les méandres de rivière, les bancs, les estacades, les iles artificielles, les piliers de ponts. Ainsi, les obstacles influencent la vitesse d’écoulement qui est un paramètre important dans la formation de la glace et peut aussi effectuer un apport d’objets sur lesquels la glace peut s’attacher et initier son accroissement. En moyenne la glace de rive atteint 20% de sa couverture maximale lorsque son le nombre de degrés jours accumulés (DJA) atteint 124 °C-j. Ceci est suivi d’une période d’accroissement rapide qui prend fin lorsque la couverture de glace atteint 80% de son maximum qui correspond à un DJA de 247 °C-j. La couverture de glace de rive atteint son maximum lorsque le DJA atteint 551 °C-j; ce qui correspond normalement à la période de fin janvier. La période d’hiver est caractérisée par une couverture de glace stable (supérieure à 90% de son maximum) en amont de Trois-Rivières, sauf pendant les périodes de dégel mi hivernales. À l’aval de Trois-Rivières, il n’y a pas de période stable, vu que la désagrégation commence très tôt après que la glace ait cru à son étendu maximal. La rupture est un processus graduel qui normalement commence vers le 15 février en aval de Trois-Rivières et vers le premier mars en amont. La grande majorité de la glace disparait généralement avant le 31 mars. Par ailleurs, la vitesse d’écoulement de la rivière, ainsi que sa profondeur et son nombre de Froude le long des limites de la glace de rive sont évalués. Ceci dans la condition où la glace de rive a atteint sa répartition superficielle maximale. La vitesse est presque toujours inférieure à 1 m/s, le nombre de Froude maximal est normalement de 0,1 au dans le Lac St Pierre et de 0,2 sur le tronçon Montréal-Sorel. La profondeur de la rivière à la limite de la glace peut varier largement. À partir d’une modélisation numérique, il a été calculé que la glace de rive cause une augmentation de la vitesse de 0,1 m/s dans le chenal maritime du Lac St Pierre et du niveau d’eau de 14 cm dans le tronçon Montréal-Sorel.

Abstract:
Larval fish distributions were determined in the lower Winfield Pool, Kanawha River, West 85, Virginia, using a 0.5-m plankton net and a 1-m2 dropbox. Five habitats were sampled with the plankton net, 3 habitats with the dropbox. The 5 deep water water habitats, greater than 1.5-m in depth, sampled by the plankton net included surface tows in Bill's Creek backwater, main channel border upstream and downstream of Little Guano backwater, and Little Guano Creek backwater, where deep tows (1.5 m deep) were also taken. The 3 shallow water habitats, less than 1 m in depth, sampled by the dropbox included open water over silt substrate, open water over a sand substrate, and emergent vegetation. Lepomis species, emerald shiners (Notropis atherinoides), and gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) were the dominant taxa. The emerald shiner taxa could also have included some larvae of Notropis species which are also present in the Kanawha River but whose larvae have not been described. Overall, the mean total larval density did not differ between the backwater or the main channel borders but the species associated with each habitat differed greatly. The Lepomis larvae were found predominantly in backwater areas. These areas provide suitable spawning sites for many centrarchids of this river. Upon leaving the nest, the Lepomis larvae moved into the deeper open water areas within the backwater. After reaching the juvenile stage, these same larvae returned to the shallow water habitats where they inhabited vegetated areas. Emerald shiner larvae, while present in both backwater and main channel habitats, were most abundant in the main channel borders. This is probably a result of their parent's pelagic spawning strategy. In all habitats, emerald shiner larvae predominated in the upper 1 m of water. Upon becoming larger, the emerald shiner larvae appeared in the backwaters. This increase in numbers could be due to movement, differential mortality, or higher growth rates. Other cyprinids (excluding emerald shiners and carp) were equally abundant in both backwater and main channel areas. These other cyprinid larvae were also distributed equally, Gizzard shad larvae were found predominantly in the main channel borders. Presumably, these higher densities were the result of main channel spawning. The gizzard shad larvae present in the backwater areas were distributed evenly throughout the water column. Overall, the backwaters were important for the nest-building species found in the river and also for the larger larvae of the pelagic species, and thus acts as a nursery area for these species. Therefore, the backwaters do seem to be important for the fishery of the Kanawha River.

Internationally, analysts have increased their technical sophistication and geographical scope of water issues and water-management policies. They have determined the impacts of water quality and demand upon ecological systems, and they have framed policies for the management of watersheds. I examine a subset of these issues in relation to the Hong Kong-Guangdong region as part of a Hong-Kong/Pearl River Delta studio in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning. The study site is a basin, and, as such, it is comprised of a number of catchments. The water sources are mainly in the Guangdong region, while the water demand is spread across the region. This leads to an imbalance in water supply and demand and to the need for a cross-agency, cross-border integrated approach, with joint consideration by all governmental units of environmental, land-use, and water issues. I focus on three important issues: (1) governance of water allocation, (2) environmental pollution, and (3) cross-border management. I make the following two key recommendations for coordinated action: * Hong Kong should consider providing funding for investments in wastewater treatment in the Pearl River Delta. Hong Kong has invested substantially in its own wastewater treatment systems. Well-structured expenditure on wastewater treatment in the Pearl River Delta will have a much greater impact on water quality than a similar level of expenditure aimed at further improving Hong Kong's extensive system of wastewater treatment. " To solve the complex environmental problems, the Hong Kong government should consider cooperating with local governments in the Pearl River Delta, and not just the provincial government. As a first step to improving the effectiveness of the Environmental Protection Liaison Group, local environmental bureaus should be represented.

Abstract:

The aim of this case study is to analyse cooperation mainly in issues related to water management in the area along the Miño river. The study focuses on the Spanish municipalities that limit with the river and that are in the border area with Portugal. There was a key issue which was discovered during the reading and analysis of data, a change of no cooperation to cooperation on the Spanish-Portuguese border. There was previously a political culture of no cooperation among the autonomous regions in Spain, which could have affected cooperation with the region of north Portugal. The fact the both countries have different administrative cultures could also impede cooperation. Nevertheless cooperation seems to have developed and in order to study this phenomenon the researcher uses a qualitative method and relies on a choice of institutional theories. This research studies how institutions affect cooperation in this particular case. The theories will analyse the impact of political institutions and the relation between institutions and individuals. They also help to identify how human behaviour affects processes and events.

Abstract:
Flows and Frictions in Trans-Himalayan Spaces traces movements and connections in a region known for its formidable obstacles to mobility. Eight original essays and a conceptual introduction engage with questions of networks and interconnection between people across a bordered landscape. Mobility among the extremely varied ecologies of south-western China, Myanmar and north-eastern India, with their rugged terrain, high mountains, monsoon-fed rivers and marshy lowlands, is certainly subject to friction. But today, harsh political realities have created hard borders and fractured this trans-Himalayan terrain. However, the closely researched chapters in this book demonstrate that these borders have not prevented an abundance of movements, connections and flows. Mobility has always coexisted with friction here, but this coexistence has been unsettled, giving this space its historical shape and its contemporary dynamism. Introducing the concept of the ‘corridor’ as an analytical framework, this collection investigates mobility and flows in this unique socio-political landscape.

Abstract:
AbstractMigratory pathways across the borders of South Eastern Europe have been commonly recognised within public and policy discourses as the ‘Balkan Route’ (Frontex, 2018; UNHCR, 2019). Yet those pathways do not follow one linear route across the official border checkpoints of former Yugoslav states – Serbia and Bosnia, to the European Union – Croatia and Hungary (Obradovic-Wochnik & Bird, 2019; Stojić & Vilenica, 2019). As often encountered by displaced populations, the journeys consist of perpetually moving onward and being pushed backward across diverse European towns, highways, mountains, forests, rivers, minefields, and camps, necessary to cross to reach western or northern Europe. Displaced people stranded in Serbia and Bosnia generally call their border crossing attempts the ‘game’; the term that conveys the daily mobility struggles, violence and deaths.

Abstract:
AbstractThe sedimentation problem is a hot issue currently affecting the operations of reservoirs and irrigation networks in Sudan. Most of the rivers that cross Sudanese borders come from the Eastern African Plateau, which acts as a sediment source for the Nile River and its tributaries. Khashm el-Girba Dam (KEGD), which crosses the Atbara River in Eastern Sudan, is a multipurpose dam that was constructed in 1964. The Atbara River is a branch of the Nile River system, and the river carries a large amount of sediment during the flood period. Seven years after construction, in 1970, the dam faced a critical problem that could have led to a disaster; it was discovered that, due to sediment deposition, the water storage was not enough to satisfy the downstream requirements. This study discusses the sediment management practices used in KEGD and their impacts on maintaining the reservoir capacity. Practices including operation policy (OP), trap efficiency (TE), sluicing, sediment sluicing, and flushing operation (FO) were discussed. The adopted management practices succeeded in removing a considerable amount of silt and maintaining the lifetime of the reservoir.

The territory roughly delimitated by the rivers Dnipro, Sož and Desna, geo-politically set between Ukraine, Belarus’ and not far from the Russian Federation, presents a particularly interesting language situation. In this geo-dialectal “triangle” coexist and interact local dialects – also known as Ukrainian-Belarusian ‘transitional’ dialects – three standard languages (i.e. Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian), and various forms of language mix. In this article we primarily intend to examine some fundamental issues related to dialectal contact and language distribution typical of this border area.

Abstract:
Ner river and its valley for over 170 years has been receiver for sewages from the city of Łódź. The natural system of this region (on the border of the watershed location, limitations of water supplies sources, lack of bigger natural rivers) in connection to city growth, lead to forming of specific system involving an agglomeration and water supplies system as well as wastewaters utilization system. The Ner river valley has the great potential to be effective in production biomass for energy purposes. Irrigation with polluted Ner river water cover fast growing plants high water and nutritional requirements. This would also work for the improvement of Ner river water quality. The achievement of good quality of water is not possible without irrigation of agricultural land in river valley. An amount of sewage discharged to Ner (193,017 m³ per day) several times higher then its natural flow in river. This is a result of strategy of water supply that is supported by transfer of water from Pilica river and underground water uptake for agglomeration. Relatively high runoff coefficient in years 1952 – 2011 was equal to 0.325 for Ner, in comparison to 0.17 for other rivers in Warta watershed. Despite the low natural flow Ner river discharges annually relatively high contaminants’ load to Warta river. In the analysed period (1995-2003) the annual average flow of Ner river amounted 10 % of annual average Warta river flow below its estuary. The share of analysed indicators of contaminants’ load approximated 27 % for total nitrogen, 37 % for phosphorus, 39 % for BOD5 and 28% for suspended solids. In the period 2004-2011 the annual average flow of Ner river amounted 13.8 % of annual average Warta river flow. The share of investigated pollutants loads consists 27.9 % for total nitrogen, 42.6 % for phosphorus, 19.8 % for BOD5 and 19.6 % for suspended solids.

Abstract:
The possible consequences of drying up of the most water - bearing tributary of the Chernaya river in the area of the villages of Ternovka and Chernorechya-the Ai-Todorka river due to construction in the valley are considered. One of the main consequences is the depletion of fresh water reserves in the valley of the riverbeds, of which one has already been completely lost, and the second has been significantly changed. As a result, about 3,000 people may lose access to drinking water. The solution to this problem is complicated by the violation of the river's water protection regime - the Ai-Todorka river protection zone (100 meters) is located on a private territory, which does not correspond to the Federal law on the borders of the coastal water protection zone. This issue is currently under consideration by the Prosecutor's office and the Main Department of natural resources and ecology of the city of Sevastopol (Sevprirodnadzor).

Abstract:
В статье анализируется динамика окняжения Верхневолжья в XII - начале XIII в. С этим процессом авторы связывают установление рубежей новых княжеств и возведение крепостей. На основании анализа сообщений письменных источников авторы выделяют 4 этапа окняжения Верхневолжья, выявляют закономерность и последовательность в расширении суздальских границ вдоль Волги от устья р. Нерли до устья р. Вазузы. Авторы приходят к выводу, что в середине XII в. Волга выше устья р. Медведицы была общерусской дорогой, на этом участке проживали свободные общинники, не подвергшиеся огосударствлению со стороны Новгорода, Суздаля и Смоленска. В конце XII в. владимирскими князьями был окняжен участок Волги от устья Медведицы до устья Тверцы, а в начале XIII в. - от устья Тверцы до устья Вазузы. Авторы проводят критический анализ результатов радиокарбонового анализа древесины из раскопок укреплений Тверского кремля и заключают, что крепостные сооружения должны быть датированы не ранее 1238 г. The article analyzes the dynamics of circulation in the princely property of the territory of the Upper Volga region in the XII - early XIII century. With this process, the authors associate the establishment of the frontiers of new principalities and the construction of fortresses. Based on an analysis of written sources, the authors identify 4 stages of conversion to princely property in the Upper Volga region, reveal the pattern and sequence in expanding the Suzdal’ borders along the Volga from the mouth of the Nerl’ to the mouth of the Vazuza River. The authors come to the conclusion that in the middle of the XII century the Volga, above the mouth of the Medveditsa River, was an all-Russian road; free members of the community lived on this site, who did not pay tribute to Novgorod, Suzdal’ or Smolensk. At the end of the 12th century, the princes of Vladimir converted the princely property of the territory on the Volga from the mouth of the Medveditsa Riverto the mouth of the Tvertsa River, and in the early 13th century - from the mouth of the Tvertsa Riverto the mouth of Vazuza River. The authors conduct a critical analysis of the results of radiocarbon analysis of wood from the excavations of fortifications of the Tver’ Kremlin and conclude that they should be dated no earlier than 1238.

Abstract:
In order to understand urban development in Latin America we must study the actions of an opportunistic environment that enables social progress. Usually, urban adaptations react to the pressures of a contested territory, that if seen as survival tactics, they amplify urban regeneration, where illicit acts of urbanism become primary sites of innovation. Such is the example of the international border between San Diego, and Tijuana. This region is no exception of witnessing the territorial conflicts and crime scenes that are typical characteristics of border regions. In particular this border encounters the highest massive migration from Latin America to the USand back (deportees), making the dividing line – in this case the Tijuana river canal – a site of urban dialectics. The channelized river has tangibly revealed the mutations and interactions of opposing realities that expose overtones, exigencies, neglected issues and/or cutting edge cultural movements. It is at this hotbed and funneling point of two countries where illicit acts of urbanism are accepted. Emblematic of an opportunistic landscape, opposing modes of operations are in some cases ignored for the sake of coexistence.

Abstract:
Castello dei Conti di Biandrate: surveys on the surviving structureBiandrate is a northern Italian village in the province of Novara that lies in the Po plain between the Sesia and Ticino rivers. Border area disputed between Vercelli and Novara, since the early Middle Ages it represented an important crossing point because there were the fords of the Sesia river nearby, on the road axis joining Novara and Ivrea. Its importance grew in the tenth century, when the Pieve was erected, today disappeared, dedicated to Santa Maria and, in 1029, the Counts of Pombia family settled in the Biandrate castrum. In 1168 the castrum was destroyed by the armies of Milan, allied with Novara and Vercelli, that in 1194 carved up the territory. In the second half of the thirteenth century the village of Biandrate was divided into the Borgo Vecchio, vercellese, to the west, and the Borgo Nuovo, novarese, to the east. They developed around the canonica of S. Colombano, the hospital and the ruins of the Count’s castrum. The castrum, almost totally destroyed, continued to represent an area with particular rights: in fact the Statues established that the Podestà could pronounce sentences only “in castro veteri Blanderati”. Nowadays the collegiata of S. Colombano stands on the Biandrate castrum ruins; the collegiata was mentioned for the first time in 1146, but was altered various times over the centuries. In particular, portions of the ancient wall are visible in the lower part of the west wall of the church of Santa Caterina, incorporated within the complex of the collegiate of S. Colombano. It is noticed that the ancient castrum had very thick walls made primarily with river pebbles, roughly cut stones in a herringbone pattern and binding mortar.

You are worried about flood impacts from the river that borders your property. While you have considered building a levee and placing stones along the bank to protect you land and house from erosion, you do not have the equipment or expertise to do so. Additionally, you have seen water velocity in the river increase because the farmer upstream has channeled the river. You blame the farmer for putting your land and house at greater flood risk. You think that upstream land should be allowed to flood to slow water velocity and absorb floodwaters; this would protect you and your neighbors from future floods.

Full text
Abstract:
Interdepartmental Memorandum of Understanding (IMOU) 5170 between Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN), the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and Transport Canada Innovation Centre (TC-IC) aims to gain new insight into slow-moving landslides, and the influence of climate change, through testing conventional and emerging monitoring technologies. IMOU 5107 focuses on strategically important sections of the national railway network in the Thompson River valley, British Columbia (BC), and the Assiniboine River valley along the borders of Manitoba (MN) and Saskatchewan (SK). Results of this research are applicable elsewhere in Canada (e.g., the urban-rural-industrial landscapes of the Okanagan Valley, BC), and around the world where slow-moving landslides and climate change are adversely affecting critical socio-economic infrastructure. Open File 8931 outlines landslide mapping and changedetection monitoring protocols based on the successes of IMOU 5170 and ICL-IPL Project 202 in BC. In this region, ice sheets, glaciers, permafrost, rivers and oceans, high relief, and biogeoclimatic characteristics contribute to produce distinctive rapid and slow-moving landslide assemblages that have the potential to impact railway infrastructure and operations. Bedrock and drift-covered slopes along the transportation corridors are prone to mass wasting when favourable conditions exist. In high-relief mountainous areas, rapidly moving landslides include rock and debris avalanches, rock and debris falls, debris flows and torrents, and lahars. In areas with moderate to low relief, rapid to slow mass movements include rockslides and slumps, debris or earth slides and slumps, and earth flows. Slow-moving landslides include rock glaciers, rock and soil creep, solifluction, and lateral spreads in bedrock and surficial deposits. Research efforts lead to a better understanding of how geological conditions, extreme weather events and climate change influence landslide activity along the national railway corridor. Combining field-based landslide investigation with multi-year geospatial and in-situ time-series monitoring leads to a more resilient railway national transportation network able to meet Canada's future socioeconomic needs, while ensuring protection of the environment and resource-based communities from landslides related to extreme weather events and climate change. InSAR only measures displacement in the east-west orientation, whereas UAV and RTK-GNSS change-detection surveys capture full displacement vectors. RTK-GNSS do not provide spatial coverage, whereas InSAR and UAV surveys do. In addition, InSAR and UAV photogrammetry cannot map underwater, whereas boat-mounted bathymetric surveys reveal information on channel morphology and riverbed composition. Remote sensing datasets, consolidated in a geographic information system, capture the spatial relationships between landslide distribution and specific terrain features, at-risk infrastructure, and the environmental conditions expected to correlate with landslide incidence and magnitude. Reliable real-time monitoring solutions for critical railway infrastructure (e.g., ballast, tracks, retaining walls, tunnels, and bridges) able to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of Canada are highlighted. The provision of fundamental geoscience and baseline geospatial monitoring allows stakeholders to develop robust risk tolerance, remediation, and mitigation strategies to maintain the resilience and accessibility of critical transportation infrastructure, while also protecting the natural environment, community stakeholders, and Canadian economy. We propose a best-practice solution involving three levels of investigation to describe the form and function of the wide range of rapid and slow-moving landslides occurring across Canada that is also applicable elsewhere. Research activities for 2022 to 2025 are presented by way of conclusion.

Abstract:
Mineral resources of Baffin Island include iron (Mary River), diamonds, carbonate-hosted zinc and lead (Nanisivik), nickel, copper, platinum group elements, uranium, thorium, gemstones (sapphire, spinel, lapis lazuli), carving stone, and coal. Iron deposits include the Mary River No. 1 to 4 deposits of northern Baffin Island, which came into production in 2015 and contain 586 Mt grading 66% Fe. The Mesoproterozoic Borden Basin hosts the Nanisivik deposit, mined between 1976 and 2002; this is a Mississippi Valley-type deposit and contains 9.0% Zn, 0.7% Pb, and 41 ppm Ag. Diamond-rich kimberlite occurs as sheets and small pipes at Chidliak on Hall Peninsula; largest by area is the CH-1 (6 ha) pipe. At least 32 carving-stone localities are known; 7 communities on Baffin Island have good access to quarried material. Coal occurs in the Cretaceous-Paleogene Eclipse Trough of Bylot and northwestern Baffin islands. Exposures near Pond Inlet have been excavated for local use.

Abstract:
The map area lies about 40 km northwest of Baffinland's iron mine. Dykes of unit mAnA3 within unit mAnA2 suggest that unit mAnA2 predates unit mAnA3. Unit nAMqf, basal Mary River Group unit, includes regolith material from units mAnA2 and mAnA3. Unit mAnAm may include some dykes of unit nAMb. The Mary River Group was deposited in a volcanic-arc environment, yielding zircon U-Pb ages mostly in the range of 2.88 to 2.72 Ga. Iron-formation (unit nAMi) is approximately 276 m thick locally, with oxide facies (unit nAMio) being most abundant. The quartzite triangle west of 'Iron lake' (unofficial name) may be a small horst. The main east-west-trending synclinal fold, including the area around 'Iron lake' and the no. 4 ore deposit, is upright, nearly isoclinal, and plunges mostly easterly at both ends with small scale anticlines and synclines in the middle. Magnetite constitutes about 75% of high-grade iron deposits in the north limb, whereas hematite predominates in south-limb deposits. K-Ar and Rb-Sr ages indicate middle Paleoproterozoic overprinting. Central Borden Fault Zone was active at ca. 1.27 Ga and during or after Ordovician time. Note: please be aware that the information contained in CGM 408 is based on legacy data from the 1960-1990s and that it has been superseded by regional-scale information contained in CGM 403.

Ports and Logistics Scoping Study in CAREC Countries. Asian Development Bank, April 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.22617/spr210103-2.

Full text
Abstract:
Members of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program rely on open-sea ports of third-party countries outside borders as conduits for exports and imports. These open-sea ports are located mostly in non-CAREC countries and act as international oceanic trade nodes to connect CAREC freight across cross-border railways, highways, inland sea shipping, and on river and canal barges. This study analyzes seaports and multimodal corridors serving CAREC landlocked countries. It aims to provide sufficient background about ports and logistics developments in the region. It also seeks to identify areas and potential activities that will require cooperation among member countries and development partners within the framework of the CAREC Program.
