Evidences from flood risk management demonstrated that a deep understanding of the main physical phenomena to be addressed is often not enough but should also integrated with stakeholders' knowledge and perception. Particularly, effectiveness strategies highly dependent on perception attitudes, which play critical role how individuals institutions act mitigate risks. Furthermore, practitioners policy-makers realized grey infrastructures may most suitable solution reduce risk, shift solutions...
There is an imperative worldwide need to identify effective approaches deal with water-related risks, and mainly increasingly frequent floods, as well severe droughts. Particularly, policy decision-makers are trying systemic strategies that, going beyond the mere risk reduction, should be capable simultaneously multiple challenges (such climate resilience, health well-being, quality of life), thus providing additional benefits. In this direction, contribution Nature Based Solutions (NBS)...
Abstract Acoustic telemetry (AT) has emerged as a valuable tool for monitoring aquatic animals in both European inland and marine waters over the past two decades. The Tracking Network (ETN) initiative played pivotal role promoting collaboration among AT researchers Europe led to significant increase number of tagged observed transboundary waters. While benefits decision‐making delivers essential data management bodies, its potential mechanisms yet be fully harnessed. We reviewed existing...
River networks are among Earth’s most threatened hot-spots of biodiversity and provide key ecosystem services (e.g., supply drinking water food, climate regulation) essential to sustaining human well-being. Climate change increased use causing more rivers streams dry, with devastating impacts on services. Currently, than a half the global river consist drying channels, these expanding dramatically. However, (DRNs) have received little attention from scientists policy makers, public is...
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are increasingly being considered as an option to reduce societies’ vulnerability natural hazards, creating co-benefits while protecting ecosystem services in a context of changing climate patterns with more frequent and extreme weather events. The reinsurance insurance industries cited sectors that can play role help manage risks, by improving disaster risk reduction (DRR) loss prevention. This paper investigates how the (re)insurance industry could support...
Worldwide, the overwhelming number of man-made barriers in fluvial systems has been identified as one major causes reported staggering average declines migratory fish. Fish passages have shown to help mitigate such problems. Close-to-nature types fish passages, bottom ramps, bypass channels, and ramps can be used minimize impact artificial steep drops (e.g., weirs) on migration aquatic fauna, especially cases low-head barriers. This study focuses characterization flow pattern a ramp. A 3-D...
Behaviour observations of the endangered native marble trout (Salmo marmoratus, Cuvier, 1829) and introduced rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum, 1792) in laboratory a tributary to Idrijca River Slovenia were combined study movements dominance relationships between individuals two species an open field test. Under conditions, no difference was detected for neither time spent actively or distance moved. In paired tests, initiated more aggressive behaviours towards than vice versa, clearly...
The study presents several steps of a fish ramp geometry optimization performed with 3D numerical model DualSPHysics, which is based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. process led to design bottom that capable providing suitable conditions for migration target species (Salmo truta, Phoxinus phoxinus, Cottus gobio, and Eudontomyzon vladykovi). Migration routes were determined as complex volumes fluid according simulated velocity field in various steady flow conditions....
