Upstream/Downstream Niagara River Monitoring Program [ Niagara River Upstream/Downstream Program ]

The main basin salmon TAC follows MSY and remains unchanged in the last years; together with reducing unreported catches and national river-specific measures, this has helped boost the number of returning spawners.

In more than one third of the total land of the Mediterranean basin, average yearly soil losses exceed 15 tons/ha [6]. Consequent damage to watercourses follows, through the contamination of river and sea aquatic ecosystems by nutrients and contaminants attached to the eroded soil, with additional other effects such as damage to water reservoirs and ports.

Such average customer lifetime would be the period of time over which the customer contributes to the recovery of the: (a) downstream costs that are annualised according to a depreciation method that is appropriate to the asset in question and the economic lifetime of the corresponding assets required for the retail operations (including network costs that are not included in the wholesale NGA access service); and (b) other downstream costs that are normally not annualised (typically the subscriber acquisition costs) and which the operator incurs to gain customers and should seek to recover over the latters’ average lifetime.

21. Takes the view that the river basin management plans required under the WFD should also integrate drought and other hydro-meteorological disaster management and set up crisis management tailored to the concrete needs of river basins threatened by water scarcity and droughts including cross-border coordination, public participation and early warning systems operating at different levels, i.e. European, national, regional and local; highlights the need to avoid creating barriers to the natural course of rivers in an effort to minim ...[+++]ise flooding, and encourages more extensive impact assessment as regards sealing off the natural courses of the water flow;
