Evaluation of water quality of Kosynthos river in North Greece, using Water Quality Indices

(Corresponding) Gikas G., Lergios D., Psomakelis E., Petalas C.

Topic:

Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health

The water quality of Kosynthos river, located in Xanthi Prefecture, Northern Greece, was evaluated using Water Quality Indices (WQIs). A water quantity and quality monitoring program was undertaken from December 2016 to November 2017 on a weekly basis at four stations along the main course of...Read more

Managing the risk of cyanobacteria through water quality characteristics analysis: A case study of two warm Mediterranean reservoirs

(Corresponding) Antoniou M., Kagalou I., Hadjiouraniou G., Daskalakis E., Tsiarta N., Chamoglou M., Polykarpou P.

Topic:

Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health

This study correlated the trophic condition of two Mediterranean water bodies with different typology with their water quality characteristics. The two studied cases included Polemidia Dam, a reservoir enriched with tertiary treated wastewater in Cyprus and Lake Karla, a re-established reservoir in...Read more

Improved LC/LU maps and flood models through crowdsourced information

(Corresponding) Tsiakos V., (Corresponding) Krommyda M., Tsertou A., Amditis A., Jonoski A., Popescu I., Assumpção T., Kopsinis Y.

Topic:

Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health

Flood risk prediction has been traditionally based on models that are developed from time-series of data collected over long periods of time from expensive and hard to maintain in situ sensors available only in specific areas. Scent is a EU project which provides an integrated toolbox of smart...Read more

Assessment of water quality of Asopos River in central Greece using multivariate analysis

Tsadilas C., Tzouvalekas M., (Corresponding) Evangelou E., Papadopoulos S., Papadoulis A., Petsoulas C., Tsitouras A., Grypari P., Smyrnis T.

Topic:

Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health

The main objective of this study was to assess the quality of water from five monitoring stations in Asopos River (central Greece), and evaluate the main factors that affect the river water quality. Fifty one biochemical parameters measured both in situ and in the laboratory three times a year for...Read more

The DPSIR framework for integrating the Ecosystem Services in River Nestos lagoons- Greece.

Pournara A., Mirli A., Latinopoulos D., (Corresponding) Kagkalou I.

Topic:

Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health

It is well documented that conservation and management of water resources are directly related to the sustainable living, i.e. to social, economic and environmental aspects. There has been much effort by the European research community to provide tools to support the implementation of freshwater...Read more

The effect of alkaline activated reservoir sediments used as a binder in concrete on its compressive strength

(Corresponding) Junakova N., Junak J.

Topic:

Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health

Sediment as the product of erosion processes is found in every water body and reduces the storage capacity and the lifetime of water reservoirs. The quantity of sediment which affects downstream areas and also their quality complicate sediment management. Dredged sediments are on the borderline of...Read more

Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Natural and Artificial Lakes in Western Macedonia, Greece

TSIOPTSIAS C., SAMIOTIS G., KAKLIDIS N., PEKRIDIS G., (Corresponding) AMANATIDOU E.

Topic:

Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health

Formation of artificial lakes is a common practice for hydroelectric power generation. Hydroelectricity is considered to be a green and renewable energy source in terms of factory operation. However, hydroelectricity generation may have environmental impact arisen from greenhouse gas (GHG)...Read more

Prediction of Algal Bloom Occurrence in Laguna Lake, Philippines using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)

(Corresponding) Esguerra G., Ballesteros F.

Topic:

Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health

Algal blooms pertain to an undesirable formation of unicellular freely-floating algal scum caused by the rapid growth of phytoplankton, which can become a hazard for the water body ecosystem. Laguna Lake serves as both a source of livelihood and water supply for the residents in the region and the...Read more
