This volume provides a comprehensive overview of environmental
aspects of the Sava River, which is the greatest tributary to the
Danube River and the major drainage river system of South Eastern
Europe. Hydroelectric power plants, river traffic, intensive
agricultural activities, heavy industry and floods have
considerable influence on the environment and biota in the basin.
Summarizing the results that were gathered in the course of EU,
bilateral and national projects, the book highlights the most
important stressors and helps readers to better understand the
impact of anthropogenic activities on the function of river basins.
Topics include: transboundary water cooperation between the
riparian countries; climate change projection, including its impact
on flood hazards; evaluation of anthropogenic pollution sources;
pollution of sediments, metal bioavailability and ecotoxicological
and microbiological characterization of the river. The biological
part also addresses quality aspects related to wildlife in river
aquatic ecosystems (algae, macrophytes, zooplankton,
macroinvertebrates and fish) and riparian ecosystems (amphibians,
reptiles, birds and mammals). The general state of biodiversity and
pressures caused by invasive aquatic species are also discussed.
