“…In the Anthropocene, all of these distinctive characteristics of lotic systems have induced ecological processes that are influenced by diverse human activities, acting individually, cumulatively, and/or synergistically. Water use may result in considerable ecological impacts [ 138 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 ]. Even those permitted by authorized licenses often induce an over 90% decrease in flow discharge, for this motivation strongly influences the main stream habitats (e.g., habitat area, flow velocity, temperature of water, sediments movement, nutrients and primary production, etc.)…”

This paper is a synthetic overview of some of the threats, risks, and integrated water management elements in freshwater ecosystems. The paper provides some discussion of human needs and water conservation issues related to freshwater systems: (1) introduction and background; (2) water basics and natural cycles; (3) freshwater roles in human cultures and civilizations; (4) water as a biosphere cornerstone; (5) climate as a hydrospheric ‘game changer’ from the perspective of freshwater; (6) human-induced stressors’ effects on freshwater ecosystem changes (pollution, habitat fragmentation, etc.); (7) freshwater ecosystems’ biological resources in the context of unsustainable exploitation/overexploitation; (8) invasive species, parasites, and diseases in freshwater systems; (9) freshwater ecosystems’ vegetation; (10) the relationship between human warfare and water. All of these issues and more create an extremely complex matrix of stressors that plays a driving role in changing freshwater ecosystems both qualitatively and quantitatively, as well as their capacity to offer sustainable products and services to human societies. Only internationally integrated policies, strategies, assessment, monitoring, management, protection, and conservation initiatives can diminish and hopefully stop the long-term deterioration of Earth’s freshwater resources and their associated secondary resources.

“…The Lower Timiş Basin wetlands are defined by a high human activities impact, mainly due to pollution, hydro-technical works, water accumulations, settlement works and construction of dikes and banks defense, agricultural and industrial development, and urbanization, inducing favorable habitat destruction of its fish fauna [283][284][285]. The impacts of climate change on this area's fish species have not yet been studied.…”

Stepping Stone Wetlands, Last Sanctuaries for European Mudminnow: How Can the Human Impact, Climate Change, and Non-Native Species Drive a Fish to the Edge of Extinction?

Throughout their history humans “tamed” not only the Danube River basin land, but also the river and its associated wetlands, drastically influencing their characteristic habitats, associations, communities, and species. One of these flagship endemic fish species in this respect is the European mudminnow (Umbra krameri Walbaum, 1792), influenced by Danube Basin geography, history, politics, and ecology. A study about this European community concern species in the context of long term human impact on its specific habitats, with potential synergic negative effects of climate change, was treated as highly needed, in an international researchers group initiative to support the efforts to provide hope for preserving this fish species and its ecosystems, and brought it back from the brink of extinction. All the characteristic inventoried wetlands which were or some of them still are natural, semi-natural, or accidental anthropogenic habitats, reveal an accentuated diminishing trend of this species areal continuity; fragmentation being the force which skewed it drastically untill now, and inducing diminishing the specific habitats quantitative and qualitative characteristics in the Danube Basin where these fish fight for survival. The main categories of human activities which impacted the climate changes in the context of this species’ habitats are: water regulation, pollution, dredging, draining, and introduction of non-native species. Overall, the diverse human impact in a climate changes in the context of this species’ habitats, Umbra krameri wetlands, creates serious perspectives on negatively influencing this at a very high scale and level. All the inventoried wetlands where Umbra krameri still survive can be considered an ecologically managed as a refuge and stepping stone wetlands, especially in the increasing climate change trend situation. Supplementary inventory studies in the field should be done for the identification of some may be unknown Umbra krameri habitats and populations.

In this paper we present a new frontal migration system for fish which could be used for overflow weirs and river sills. Since movement of fish is the most crucial thing in the healthy river environment fish passes are necessary to predict in any place where hydraulic structures are designed or any river engineering works are applied in the river channel. Thus in our paper we are giving a proposal of a new fish migration system when any river cross section weirs, sills or other low head hydraulic structures are planned. We hope our system would be built one day proving the advantage of using it.
