Future users of the model must be careful not to overestimate results of planned mitigation efforts. Predicted size of constructed wetlands may be commonly overestimated; this possibility should be considered in mitigation plans, especially those involving wetland destruction....
RADIOCARBON AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ISOTOPES IN THE GROUNDWATER OF THE SITES FOR A PLANNED NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN LITHUANIA The assessment of construction sites for the new Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant (Visaginas NPP), including groundwater characterization, took place over the...

where Xijkl is the specific value for a subnational unit corresponding to flood damage i, discount rate j, unit construction cost k, and maintenance rate \(l\); \(\overline{X }\) is the overall mean; and N is the number of samples for a factor. The main factors are denoted with th...
It is important to note that process evaluation does not assess whether a program yields the planned outcomes for its clients. When a program model has been found to be effective elsewhere and process evaluation of a given program indicates that it is well implemented, it is still possible that...
(for landslides), TELEMAC and ADCIRC (for storm surges) are more flexible to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of specific NBS such as wetlands, ponds, trees, parks, grass, green roof/walls, tree roots, vegetations, coral reefs, mangroves, sea grasses, oyster reefs, sea salt ...
order of several thousand of euros, especially with airborne laser-scanning techniques6. Therefore, data acquisition of airborne large-scale remote sensing datasets is often outsourced to third party organizations, concomitantly data acquisition is planned well in advance regardless of unforeseeable events....
and water quality in the area is highly saline. Effects of water quality parameters on the WQI map were investigated. Consequently, environmental pollutants negatively affect all water surfaces of the Ebinur Lake Watershed. Therefore, necessary protection measures should be taken on the planned usage...
The rationale of the project is that there is potential for tourism development through air, rail, river and coastal water transport and that these needs should be studied through a well planned and resourced project. GMS TOURISM STRATEGY – AIR, RAIL, RIVER SEA TRANSPORT This Strategic Proposal...
All research presented in this paper took place at Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) centres in the UK and captive ducks observed for this study were pinioned after hatching, rendering them permanently flightless. All birds were kept in extensive enclosures (all except one enclosure were open-toppe...
The wetlands are of great Value for both man and environment for long term financial sustainability by the surrounding communities as well as conservation of Nature. Through the paper the author tries to highlight such possibilities on the basis of assessment of potential ecotourism resources of the...
