The development of tourism in Mallorca has led to the island's economy being based, almost exclusively, on this sector. Since 1955 mass affected economic and social structures Mallorca. was based a rapid growth tourist demand chaotic facilities. This had severe consequences for island: insufficiently controlled urban planning, overcrowded beaches, erosion beach‐dune system caused by massive construction coastal zone. Many beaches have been transformed into their coastline retreated....
Abstract The aim of this study is to analyze suspended sediment transport in a Mediterranean agricultural catchment under traditional soil and water conservation practices. Field measurements were conducted Can Revull, small ephemeral (1.03 km 2 ) on the island Mallorca. This uses continuous turbidity records analyse regimes, construct interpret multiple regression models total concentration (SSC) SSC related stormflow discharge, assess loads yields three hydrological years (2004–2005...
Abstract Tourism increases water demand, especially in coastal areas and on islands, can also cause shortages during the dry season degradation of supply. The aim this study is to evaluate impact price structures hotel consumption island Mallorca (Spain). All tourist municipalities use different pricing structures, such as flat or block rates, tariffs. This exogenous variation used effect prices for a sample 134 hotels. discontinuity tariff structure fixed rate, which depends number beds,...
The efficient management of water resources by the tourism sector is essential to be able achieve sustainability in future. Hotels, together with other tour operators, have a responsibility not use more than absolutely necessary. Through survey carried out hotels on island Mallorca, we asked hotel managers about their consumption and what types water-saving measures they had introduced. We identified eleven measures, which were classified into “advanced” “simple” according technical...
Abstract. An extraordinary convective rainfall event, unforeseen by most numerical weather prediction models, generated a devastating flash flood (305 m3 s−1) in the town of Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Mallorca, on 9 October 2018. Four people died inside this village, while casualties were up to 13 over entire affected area. This extreme event has been reconstructed implementing an integrated modelling approach Ses Planes catchment (23.4 km2), based three components: (i) generation...
Abstract Hydropower is considered a renewable form of energy production, but generating electricity from rivers not always environmentally benign. The global demand for renewables increasing rapidly as fossil fuels are gradually phased out, so will continue to be subjected the pressures imposed by hydropower decades come. Finding ways operating plants that limit impacts on downstream river ecosystems therefore pressing concern. Usually, these cause marked and rapid fluctuations in flow...
Spain, one of the most mountainous countries in Europe, suffers from frequent river flooding due to specific climatic and topographic features. Many headwaters largest rivers Spain are located areas mid-to-high elevation. These include Pyrenees, Central System, Cantabrian mountains, that have a sustained snowpack during winter months. Most previous research on flood generation has focused intense rainfall events, role snowmelt been ignored or considered marginal. In this paper we present...
This study identifies significant periodicities in streamflow dynamics across western Europe using a hydrological database encompassing 1874 monthly series from catchments Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Portugal, spanning years 1962 to 2012. Significant synchronous with main atmospheric mechanisms over North Atlantic sector are also identified Cross Wavelet Transform Coherence analysis. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) were applied different transforms analysis order...
The COVID-19 pandemic, with confinement of the population and zero-tourism period, allowed us to assess, for first time, volume water used (both directly indirectly) by tourism sector. This research fills a gap in management, assessing decrease consumption during lockdown which coincided tourist season, comparing 2019 2020 Balearic Islands (Spain). Results demonstrate important differences among nine municipalities, depending on their ratio between overnight stays tourists total population....
Abstract Temporary streams are affected by increasing human alterations, and this situation is expected to worsen under global change. Understanding biodiversity trends the contribution of sites species β ‐diversity high importance in establishing conservation priorities at a regional scale. This paper focuses on aquatic macroinvertebrate temporary island Mallorca, using space–time framework. Differences α ‐diversity, spatial–temporal fluctuations local (LCBD) (SCBD) were examined.

Transport processes that lead to the initiation of bedload motion in gravel‐bed rivers have not yet been clarified. We report patch‐ and grain‐scale involved a natural stream as observed through series video experiments. With increasing flow strength, phases identified are (1) within‐patch grain instability (grain vibration, pivoting, rolling), (2) gyratory step‐and‐rest motion, (3) general sediment involving downstream transport from an individual patch throughput grains inherited upstream.
Flash floods in desert ephemeral streams are unpredictable, infrequent, and shortlived. Although some observations of flood bores have been reported [e.g., Hassan , 1990], there is little quantitative data on the hydraulic sediment transport dynamics flash floods, despite fact that pose many problems for river reservoir management [ Tolouie et al. 19937rsqb;. Furthermore, it has suspected time rates transfer might differ markedly perennial rivers Reid Frostick 1987; Schick 1987]. Today,...
This study analyses water prices and residential consumption using micro data for three different housing typologies in Calvia with contrasting household characteristics. We examine the effect of a price reform sanitation fee (implemented 2013) on average their each areas. Our results conclude that aggregate decreased only during year reform, but increased following year. The increase amount consumed by houses higher standards living was greater than small decrease families medium low-medium...
Abstract Ports have been key elements in Europe's economic development. This situation is even more relevant on islands, which are highly dependent the maritime sector. Consequently, over years, ports with diverse functionalities established both mainland Europe and its outlying islands. article discusses environmental impact of leisure marinas European especially as they closely linked to development through tourism. The aim study these infrastructures by determining carbon water footprints...
