The Lower Danube River de Abdelazim Negm

The Lower Danube River: Earth and Environmental Sciences Library

Editat de Abdelazim Negm, Liliana Zaharia, Gabriela Ioana-Toroimac
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iun 2023

Publicul țintă principal pentru acest volum este format din cercetători, ingineri hidrotehnicieni și factori de decizie implicați în planificarea sustenabilă a bazinului dunărean. Considerăm că lucrarea este esențială și pentru studenții de la masterat sau doctorat în științele mediului, oferindu-le o bază de date actualizată despre un sector geografic adesea ignorat de literatura de specialitate occidentală. Subliniem importanța acestei apariții în seria Earth and Environmental Sciences Library, deoarece The Lower Danube River umple un gol informațional critic. În timp ce lucrări precum The Danube River and The Western Black Sea Coast de Jürg Bloesch oferă o perspectivă transfrontalieră largă asupra întregului bazin, volumul de față, editat de Abdelazim Negm, Liliana Zaharia și Gabriela Ioana-Toroimac, optează pentru o abordare mai aplicată, concentrată strict pe sectorul inferior. Această focalizare permite o analiză detaliată a modului în care intervențiile antropice de după 1950 — barajele și regularizările — au alterat transportul de sedimente și biodiversitatea locală. Structura cărții este riguros organizată în două părți principale. Prima parte documentează procesele hidrologice și dinamica albiilor, incluzând o analiză fascinantă a evoluției insulelor de pe Dunăre în ultimii 150 de ani. A doua parte se orientează către caracteristicile fizico-chimice și calitatea mediului acvatic. Această progresie de la morfologie la ecologie oferă o imagine holistă asupra ecosistemului, similară ca rigoare cu The Drava River, dar adaptată complexității unice a Dunării de Jos. Integrarea datelor din România, Bulgaria și Serbia transformă acest volum într-un instrument de lucru indispensabil pentru gestionarea transfrontalieră a resurselor de apă.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este o resursă tehnică rară care se concentrează exclusiv pe Dunărea de Jos. Cititorul câștigă acces la studii de caz recente și date colectate de experți locali din România, Serbia și Bulgaria. Este o recomandare fermă pentru profesioniștii care au nevoie de o fundamentare științifică solidă pentru proiecte de sustenabilitate, oferind o înțelegere profundă a echilibrului fragil dintre infrastructura umană și dinamica naturală a fluviului.

Despre autor

Abdelazim Negm este profesor de hidraulică la Universitatea Zagazig din Egipt și un editor prolific în domeniul științelor pământului. Expertiza sa vastă în gestionarea resurselor de apă este reflectată în numeroasele sale coordonări editoriale, printre care se numără volume despre The Danube River Delta și utilizarea tehnologiilor GIS în monitorizarea mediului. Alături de el, Liliana Zaharia și Gabriela Ioana-Toroimac, cadre didactice la Universitatea din București, aduc o perspectivă locală esențială, fiind recunoscute pentru cercetările lor asupra hazardelor hidrologice și a managementului resurselor de apă în bazinul Dunării de Jos.

Descriere scurtă


This book provides essential information and recent findings on hydro-environmental issues in the Lower Danube River, particularly its hydrological and hydromorphological processes; physico-chemical features; climate and water-related hazards; and not only the biodiversity and quality but also the sustainable management and governance of its hydro-environment. Accordingly, it presents a broad range of scientific information on the lower sector of the second-longest river in Europe, which holds major economic importance and has been severely impacted by human pressures, especially since the second part of the last century. The engineering works (e.g. dams, reservoirs, levees, channelization, etc.) on the Danube and its tributaries, despite their benefits to society, have altered its flow and significantly reduced its sediment load, with consequences for hydromorphological processes and aquatic ecosystems. These ecosystems have also been affected by pollutionfrom various sources. To promote sustainable management of the Danube River and its watershed, several strategies and measures have been developed by a number of institutions, from the European level to the national and regional levels (commissions, national authorities, non-governmental organizations, etc.).
Compared to the upper and middle sectors of the Danube, the lower sector has received less attention in the international scientific literature in terms of hydro-environmental issues. The book fills this gap and provides current and original insights and findings from recent studies conducted by scientists from three countries drained by the Lower Danube River and its tributaries: Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia.
This unique book will be of great scientific interest to professional engineers, policy planners and policymakers in the three countries mentioned above, helping them to implement their own sustainable development plans. It also offers a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers and stakeholders.
